Albany Restaurants

Franklin's Tower

414 Broadway, Albany, NY, 12207

Franklin's Tower Restaurant, named for a Grateful Dead song, is the 4-month-old successor to the Plaza Grill, an Albany business that for 71 years occupied the circa-1820 Broadway building. Franklin's Tower is positioning itself in downtown Albany as the "Place to Be" for cocktails, excellent food and live music - eclectic stuff, not just the Grateful Dead. Lunch and dinner patrons can dine in dark-mahogany booths on the first floor or trek up steep stairs to a comfortable, red-walled dining room that reputedly once was a hangout for the likes of Babe Ruth and Dan O'Connell, among other athletes and politicians. Up on the cozy third floor, there's a bar, plush love seats and a view of University Plaza to attract private parties or overflow diners. By the way, you may wonder if the Grateful Dead ever played ``Franklin's Tower'' in Albany. Onetime Dead member Robert Hunter who wrote the song played it at the Palace Theatre back in '97. Nice tidbit for your dinner conversation

Jack's Oyster House

42 State St, Albany, NY, 12207

For nearly a century, Jack's has been an integral part of Albany's landscape. Long considered the hot spot for politicians and the famous, Jack's ambiance is reminiscent of the clubby New York style restaurants so in vogue today.
Jack's has been proclaimed "Albany's Greatest Restaurant Legend" and the area's "Best Restaurant of the Century."
Opened in 1913 by Jack Rosenstein, the restaurant has been continuously operated by the same family and is now under the direction of grandson, Brad. In his pursuit of excellence, Brad persuaded French Certified Master Chef Luc Pasquier, 1 of only 52 in the United States, to combine their talents to create the ultimate dining experience. In their dedication to the tradition of Jack's, they have developed a menu to satisfy their faithful clientele as well as delight a new generation of Jack's guests. Chef Pasquier's exciting French American cooking style, along with our staffs' warmth and hospitality, will make for many memorable dining moments.
