GERALD D. JENNINGS, MAYOR, CITY OF ALBANY Welcome to downtown Albany! Our Capital City is rich with history, activities and events for people of all ages. In addition to its vibrant cultural and entertainment attractions, Albany is the region’s center of business and home to our State’s leaders.

Discover all that Albany has to offer. I encourage you to explore the City, whether it is by taking a walking tour, going for a ride on a trolley, or enjoying a carriage ride.

Visit the riverfront, enjoy the many restaurants, see a movie or show at the newly restored Palace Theatre or view the architecture of our historic neighborhoods. Whether you seek a sporting event, concert, theatrical production or active nightlife, Albany will welcome you at every corner.

Albany’s expanding skyline is symbolic of the resurgence of our exciting City. Over the last few years, the skyline has grown to include newly constructed state and private office buildings, as well as hotels, residential units, first-rate restaurants and cafes.

Thank you for visiting. Be sure to take advantage of all our City has to offer. On behalf of the citizens of Albany, I am happy to welcome you to our “All-America City.”

Sincerely,

Mayor Gerald D. Jennings Albany, New York

GEORGETTE STEFFENS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR It is my pleasure to welcome you to downtown Albany, New York’s Capital City. World class dining, renowned hotels, state of the art entertainment venues, the seat of government, and Fortune 500 Companies are all present within the 50 block radius of the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District’s (BID) boundaries.

Labeled Albany’s newest neighborhood, Downtown residential units continue to experience a 97% occupancy rate, with new projects under construction and in development. These new residents are changing the landscape of our District, creating a vibrant 24/7 city.

I invite you to stay connected with the BID through our numerous social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and our newest addition Instagram. Visit our website at downtownalbany.org to keep apprised of news and events. And sign up for our weekly e-newsletter that outlines specials at our restaurants and retailers, as well as upcoming events.

Come and experience all that Downtown has to offer. Whether Day Life or Night Life, Downtown Albany is the Good Life.

Sincerely,

Georgette Steffens
