From the very beginning I knew I wanted to be on the river in Troy, so the moment I toured the venue and met Maria, I felt an instant sense of warmth and genuine care. The space is absolutely beautiful, with the charm and character of a historic building paired with the stunning backdrop of the Hudson River. It provided the perfect mix of elegance and uniqueness we were looking for. The personal staff we had the day of the wedding was incredible! They made the entire day flow so smoothly and made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. And the food... was SO good! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Choosing the Hudson Candy Factory was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I can't thank Maria and Ameila enough for their kindness, attention to detail, and the support they gave us from start to finish. If you're looking for a venue that feels personal, picturesque, and full of heart--this is it.

Had my son's birthday party here…read more Staff was AMAZING friendly and helpful. They actually want the kids to have a good time. I cannot say enough about how great he staff was. And the kids did have a good time and enjoyed bowling. Best part was that it was less than half of what I would have spent at a trampoline park.

Obviously I'm not a golfer…read more Bowling is one of those things I used to do for fun. Now it's something I just do for kids birthday parties. That means the things I look for in a bowling alley are pretty different. Town-N-Country Lanes has all the kids staples: - Alley bumpers to prevent frustrating gutter balls - Ramps so that balls make it all the way to the pins - Plenty of six pound balls that can be held by tiny arms - Velcro shoes in the smaller sizes - Pizza that isn't entirely awful The lanes are in fine shape for casual play. I do long for the old fashioned manual scoring, that was good for teaching kids math. But the electronic scoreboards make a game of bowling hassle free. And that's important because getting five small children to complete a single game of bowling can be a herculean effort in and of itself. That's where the bar comes in. Unfortunately, I didn't get to put that or the snack bar to the full test. There were plenty of cheap deep fried treats available. One day I may have to try those out at a Saturday night Rock 'N Bowl. That weekly event sounds like a great deal: $10 unlimited bowling (including shoes) from 10pm until 1am. It says they take music requests. I wonder if they'd play some Creedence.

On December 6, 2025, our wedding day unfolded inside the Polish Community Center in Albany, and it…read morefelt like stepping into a holiday dream brought to life. From the moment we arrived that afternoon until the last song played, this venue became the heart of our Christmas celebration--warm, glowing, and unforgettable. When we got engaged in October 2023, we searched everywhere for a venue that felt like "us." We visited beautiful places, but nothing gave us that feeling. Then one day, we saw an event at the Polish Community Center online and decided to go see it for ourselves. The moment we walked through the doors that December, surrounded by garlands, lights, and Christmas trees, it was like the universe said, "This is the one." We knew instantly this was where our story needed to be told. We were blessed to work with Barbara, Kelly, and Anna--three of the kindest, most dedicated people we've met. They listened, guided, reassured, and brought our vision to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. They cared about our wedding as if it were their own. During our tasting, we tried their vegetable lasagna with a white sauce for the first time, and it left us speechless. It was warm, comforting, and full of flavor--just like everything else they offered us. Every choice we made with them felt right. Because our wedding fell between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the timing was perfect. The venue became a breathtaking holiday wonderland. The stage was framed by Christmas trees glowing softly behind us. The garland around the mirrors sparkled with warm lights and festive bows. The bar area transformed with tall, beautifully decorated trees. One staff member even hand-designed ribbon and ornament themes for all the trees in the entire building--details we will never forget. The linens and custom-folded green "Christmas tree" napkins completed the look, making every table feel like a page out of a holiday storybook. On the day itself, everything came together like a perfectly wrapped gift. The appetizers during the cocktail hour--bacon-wrapped scallops, spinach artichoke dip, spring rolls, meatballs--were outstanding. Ted and the bar staff created magic with our signature drink, Lucky's Magic Mistletoe, named after our beloved dog. Guests absolutely adored it. Just before our grand entrance, my wife experienced a small wardrobe crisis. A staff member noticed instantly and called Kathy, who arrived like a guardian angel and fixed the dress with skill and grace. She didn't just save the dress--she saved the moment. While that was happening, more staff brought us plates of food to make sure we ate, knowing how easily couples forget to do that. They cared for us in a way that felt genuine and deeply heartfelt. When our guests first walked into the ballroom, the reactions said it all. Gasps, smiles, whispers of "wow." The 12-foot Christmas tree, the decorated bar trees, the glowing garlands, the gold plates reflecting the lights--everything shimmered with holiday warmth. Sitting together on the stage as newlyweds, quietly taking in the view of the room, we were able to breathe, smile, and truly absorb the beauty of the moment. It was a gift we didn't know we needed. Dinner was exceptional--flavorful, filling, beautifully presented. I still tell people that the vegetable lasagna is one of the best dishes I've ever had. Our dessert and candy tables were massive hits. The staff arranged everything perfectly and replenished items all night long. Guests still talk about how friendly the staff was and how incredible the bartenders were. We could never thank the Polish Community Center enough for what they gave us--a wedding that felt like walking into a living Christmas card. A night full of warmth, beauty, and love. A celebration we will cherish forever. To Barbara, Kelly, Anna, Ted, Kathy, and every staff member who helped create our dream: thank you. You gave us more than a wedding. You gave us a memory we will hold close to our hearts for the rest of our lives. We recommend the Polish Community Center without hesitation. If you want a wedding overflowing with heart, care, beauty, and magic--this is the place where it happens.

I'd been here several times over many years for luncheon meetings and other similar work gatherings. I was aware that there were times when the members of the PCC would make and sell Polish food to the general public, but I never took advantage of the opportunity. With so many restaurants closed or only selling takeout during the COVID-19 restriction period, I decided to take advantage of the PCC's announcement of what I now understand is a monthly event selling a variety of Polish food for takeout. How it works. They announce on their web page the date of the event and ask you to call a day or two ahead to place your order. During the pandemic you can choose between curb-side pickup or indoor pickup. You must wear a mask to be allowed inside. This event is so popular that you are likely to have to wait for your order even though you will have an assigned pickup time. The food for my 4:30 pickup time was not ready until 5:00. A friend with a 5:15 pickup time did not receive her food until 6:15. The menu includes pierogi, golumpki, kielbasa, and sauerkraut. The Polish Platter ($14) has a good portion of everything and comes with some rye bread. Only one filling is available for the pierogi and that is potato and cheese. I will say that even though the organizational effort could benefit from some improvement, if you're a patient person you'll survive the wait and likely believe, like me, that the food was worth the wait.
