SCHENECTADY — The Capital Region is currently experiencing some of the most pleasant days of the year. The weather is not too hot, the days are gradually becoming shorter, and the air is refreshingly dry. It’s the perfect time to dine out.
At The Horses Lounge on McClellan Street, this fact is not lost on anyone. As our server aptly noted, “Everyone’s outside.”
Some may recall The Horses Lounge from its previous owners, Fred and Gladys Fritzen, and later their son Christian, who first opened the establishment in 1976. However, last summer, the lounge closed its doors and began the search for a new owner.
Enter Tommy Nicchi, owner of The Broken Inn in Niskayuna and the Comedy Works in Saratoga Springs. Upon hearing about the closure from his patrons, he attended an estate sale at the restaurant. Within minutes, he knew he wanted to revive the beloved locale.
Christian Fritzen expressed his relief in a previous Daily Gazette article, stating, ”It was important to me to find a purchaser to continue my family’s legacy. We’ve been a staple in the community for nearly 50 years and I’m excited and very happy it will continue on.”
The Horses Lounge reopened in May, sporting a fresh look and a renewed focus on Schenectady. The dining room is adorned with vintage postcards of the city and collages of old photos of customers from the Fritzen era.
My companion Kathy and I were fortunate to secure a prime spot at an umbrella table out front. Despite the bustling traffic in the area, Kathy noted, “It’s not as loud here as I thought it would be.”
The patio walls effectively dampen the street noise, and they’re topped with an abundance of vibrant petunias. The umbrellas are fitted with small lights, and strings of Edison bulbs encircle the patio, creating a cheerful and festive atmosphere even during the day.

The menu at The Horses Lounge is straightforward, featuring pub staples like wings, burgers, hotdogs, flatbreads, and sides, along with a few appetizers. The layout is unique but intuitive. Simply choose your main item, like a burger or a flatbread pizza, and then add toppings to customize.
A burger costs $13 and comes with fries. Veggie burgers and gluten-free buns are also available. A Sabrett hotdog is $6 and is served with chips, with veggie dogs as an alternative. Sides are $5 and include options like onion rings, tater tots, or sweet potato fries. Dressings can be added for a small additional cost.
There are four appetizers to choose from; if you’re a fan of the sweet corn nuggets ($10) at the Broken Inn, you’ll be pleased to find them here as well. There are also four meal-sized salads on offer.
To view the wine, beer, and drinks menus, you’ll need to scan the QR codes at the table with your phone. Alternatively, you can visit their website and click on the respective links. If you’d rather not do that, the server will likely be able to recite them for you. Our server, for instance, was exceptional.

Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and invited to choose our seats. Our server promptly brought us menus and took our drink orders. Kathy took a moment to admire the petunias.
Our order of fried broccoli and cheese ($10) arrived in no time. The menu simply stated that it was served with blue cheese, so we were pleasantly surprised to receive fried nuggets filled with chopped broccoli and melted cheddar cheese in a crunchy, flavorful coating.
“These are good,” Kathy remarked, just as I exclaimed, “Wow.” They made for a delightful snack.
“They don’t need anything,” Kathy added, but since they came with Horses blue cheese, we used some out of courtesy. I had already consumed six before I realized it, so consider yourself warned.
When Kathy ordered the Buffalo chicken salad ($13), the server asked, “How would you like your chicken, grilled or fried?” It was nice to have the option of a healthier grilled version.
The salad was certainly meal-sized, with a generous bed of lettuce at the base. “I like Romaine, it’s crunchy,” Kathy commented. She also appreciated the chopped celery.
The white meat chicken was grilled, sliced, and tossed in Buffalo sauce. “It’s a nice way to cut chicken,” Kathy observed, referring to the manageable slices. The sauce was ”real mild, but you get the flavor,” and the chicken was “delicious.”
The croutons added a little something extra. They were large, flavorful, and fried for added taste. Kathy savored them one by one, as if enjoying a snack.

The chicken was topped with blue cheese crumbles, and the server brought extra dressing in case Kathy wanted more. It was a truly satisfying salad.
We shared an order of sweet potato fries ($5). “These are delicious,” Kathy declared. “I love them, you can taste the sweet potato.”
The fries were coated with a very thin batter that became crisp and bubbled up in places, and they were lightly dusted with salt. I found them quite addictive. The portion was more than enough for two people.
I enjoyed an order of wings ($15), a full dozen. You can opt for boneless wings and add sauces like garlic Parm, PB & J, or chipotle mayo for an extra dollar. I chose traditional Buffalo wings, medium heat, with bones.
The wings were large and had a good balance of meat to skin. They weren’t overly large, which was a plus. The sauce was a mild medium, full of flavor. I could have used a little more but didn’t want to ask. I later discovered that you can get extra sauce at no additional cost. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. What more could you ask for?
The Broken Inn in Niskayuna is a cash-only establishment and donates the three percent credit card fee saved to various community groups. The Horses Lounge, which does accept credit cards, donates a percentage of all cash sales to local groups and causes through an initiative they call #RespectSchenectady.
So, they’re not just good, they’re also kind.
We packed our leftovers into cardboard boxes, and our attentive server, noticing that the boxes didn’t stay closed, ensured we each had a plastic bag to put them in. ”She’s good,” Kathy noted.
The cost of lunch for two, including sodas, came to $57.24 before tip. I paid in cash, so a nonprofit in Schenectady received a portion of the proceeds.
With delicious food and friendly staff, The Horses Lounge is a great place to enjoy a meal outdoors or in the dining room. It’s all good.

Der Anbieter wird von der Glücksspielbehörde des Landes Curaçao überwacht und ist offiziell lizenziert.
Nach dem Willkommenspaket warten die Bonusangebote für Bestandskunden auf
dich. Um zu schauen, wie gut der Anbieter tatsächlich ist, habe ich
mir im Riviera Casino Test die Bonusangebote, Spiele und Sicherheit näher angeschaut.
Die seit 1987 bis zuletzt im Hotel gezeigte Erotik-Show Crazy Girls wird im Planet
Hollywood Resort and Casino weitergeführt.
Es war zu diesem Zeitpunkt das älteste Casino am
Strip. Mai 2015 wurde das Riviera nach 60-jährigem Bestand geschlossen. April 2006 sollte die Gesellschaft von Riv Acquisition Holdings, einer Investmentgruppe um den Immobilienexperten Neil Bluhm, Barry Sternlicht, Paul
Kanavos and Scott Butera (Präsident der Gruppe) übernommen werden. Das Grundstück ist nun im Besitz der Tourismusbehörde Las
Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), die auf der Fläche weitere Gebäude für
Messen und Kongresse errichten wird. Es verfügte über 2100 Hotelzimmer, zum großen Teil in einem 23-stöckigen Gebäude.
Barbara Streisand hatte ihren ersten Las-Vegas-Auftritt ebenso im Riviera wie Engelbert
Humperdinck.
Das Riviera Las Vegas ist eines der ältesten Casinos am Strip.

Auch wenn noch nicht alle Online Casinos die Möglichkeit bieten, ihr Angebot
auch auf Mobilgeräten wie dem iPhone oder Android
Handy zu nutzen, stellt ein Großteil der Casinos jetzt Apps
zum mobilen Online Glücksspiel bereit. Viele gute Casinos online für Deutschland ermöglichen es Ihnen, in Echtgeld Casino Apps mit
Handy und Tablet zu zocken. Haben Sie sich bei einem Online Casino neu registriert, wird Ihnen ein Willkommens- oder Neukundenbonus angeboten.
Üblicherweise verwenden die von uns bewerteten Casinos online mit Echtgeld Spielen eine 128-Bit Verschlüsselung und sind zertifiziert.
Mit Verabschiedung des Glücksspielstaatsvertrags 2021 stand bereits fest, dass es eine Behörde geben muss, die die Einhaltung festgelegter Gesetze für Glücksspielanbieter, seien es Slot Spieleseiten,
Buchmacher oder Lotterien, überwacht. Bis zur einvernehmlichen Lösung der Länder war es lediglich in Schleswig-Holstein legal möglich, Online Glücksspiele zu nutzen.
Zum anderen zeigen sich auch beim Spielangebot zahlreiche Parallelen,
denn Voraussetzung für die Bereitstellung von Spielautomaten ist, dass
neben der Glücksspielseite eben auch die Software Studios
geprüft und lizenziert werden. Somit bieten wir unseren Lesern beste und exklusive Information über erlaubtes Glücksspiel!
Auf unserem Portal zeigen wir ausschließlich Angebote mit
deutscher Lizenz. Mit einem Hintergrund in Germanistik und fundierter Branchenerfahrung
bietet sie verständliche, gut recherchierte Inhalte zu Spielmechaniken,
Trends und Strategien.
Online-Casinos und Spielotheken ohne deutsche Glücksspiellizenz bergen erhebliche Risiken. Für
Spieler bedeutet das zunächst, dass sie bei Casinos und Spielbanken, die auf
der sogenannten Whitelist stehen, sorgenfrei, sicher und legal spielen können. Die Online Slot Betreiber müssen dabei strenge Vorgaben erfüllen,
um eine deutsche Glücksspiellizenz zu erhalten.
Bwin gehört zu den bekanntesten Sportwettenanbietern in Deutschland und bietet nun auch Spielautomaten an. Dazu wartet ein spannendes Portfolio an Top-Herstellern und
ein spannender Bonus mit Freispielen. Anmeldungen beginnen mit 50 Gratis-Freispielen für die Registrierung.

Der Zeitvorteil ist daher der größte Bonus, den ein Casino ohne Verifizierung zu bieten hat.
Eine Voraussetzung dafür, dass die Behörde eine Glücksspiellizenz erteilt, ist laut § 4 Abs.
Seriöse Online-Casinos besitzen eine offizielle deutsche Glücksspiellizenz.
Von Slotautomaten über Online Tischspiele und Jackpots bis hin zu den beliebtesten Live Casino Spielen ist alles vertreten. Alle der
ausgewählten Anbieter haben uns im Casinotest überzeugt und bieten eine riesige Spielauswahl sowie das bestmögliche Spielerlebnis.
In unserer Bestenliste könnt ihr einen der Anbieter auswählen und, wenn ihr wollt, direkt ohne Angabe der
Ausweisdaten loslegen. Bei diesen Casino Webseiten entfällt der KYC-Prozess, ihr könnt direkt Echtgeld einzahlen und unmittelbar danach Casinospiele
zocken.

Some times its a pain in the ass to read what website owners wrote but this internet site is real user genial! .
Hi my friend! I want to say that this article is awesome, great written and come with almost all vital infos. I would like to see extra posts like this.
Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
