Hotel Reservations
We have secured a block of hotel rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott in Troy / Waterfront. You can reserve with the hotel block at a discounted rate until August 15th, 2025.
Note: While the reservation defaults to 2 nights, there is NO minimum length of stay for the hotel block reservation.
Alternative Hotels
If you would prefer to reserve outside of the hotel block, we would recommend the following alternatives:
- Best Western Plus Franklin Square: A more affordable option still in walking distance of Downtown.
- Hilton Garden Inn Troy: Located further up the hill with ample parking, but not quite walkable.
Local Restaurants
We’d love it if you explored our home – here are our favorite spots to eat in Downtown Troy!
Breakfast, Brunch, and Coffee
- Manory’s: 99 Congress St. The best diner in town and CJ’s default pancake spot.
- The Whistling Kettle: 254 Broadway. A full menu of hot and iced teas, great for brunch!
- Jacob Alejandro: 274 River St. Claire’s favorite coffee in the universe (You HAVE to try the cold brew). Find them at the farmer’s market, too!
Lunch, Dinner, and Drinks
- Bacchus Wood-Fired: 33 2nd St. Excellent Italian food and wood-fired pizza. Great for a date night!
- K-Plate: 78 4th St. Fast casual Korean street food, perfect for a quick lunch stop. CJ’s favorite!
- Sunhee’s Farm & Kitchen: 95 Ferry St. Yes, there are two Korean restaurants on this list, because they are both amazing. You’re welcome.
Pastries & Sweets
- The Dutch Udder: 282 River St. THE BEST homemade ice cream – and they have non-dairy flavors!
- The Flour Bender: 15 2nd St. Cookies, cakes, pastries, and homemade pop-tarts?? And they have coffee, too!
- The Placid Baker: 250 Broadway. Fancy pastries and breads. Get there early for our favorite, the kouign-amann (but they sell out fast!) Find them at the farmer’s market, too!
