Hot dogs, Teriyaki chicken, frozen yogurt, curry chicken, gyros, pulled pork sandwiches…name your favorite! You’ll find these vendors Monday-Friday during warm weather for the lunch rush.

Vin Santo Tapas & Wine Bar
579 Troy-Schenectady Rd. Latham
786-8272
This is one of those restaurants that you will have to go back to again and again and again…just to sample a quarter of the menu. Tapas range from lobster to chorizo sausage skewers to lamb cous cous to calamari steak to….anything under the sun. The wine list is spectacular and the atmosphere completes a wonderful evening. Highly recommended!
