Yesterday was beautiful day to walk up and down Broadway in Saratoga Springs. We found a place to park in one of the parking garages and then walked toward Broadway. Traffic wasn’t too bad so we first headed to the Army/Navy store which is having a huge sale because they are moving. My son found something so off we were to the next store.
I always like to window shop but there were lots of sidewalk sales and in store sales going on. I can’t seem to go downtown without buying something!
I’ve heard so much about Spa City Cupcakes that well….I just had to stop in. The place is pretty nondescript but the cupcake selection was interesting. The girl behind the counter (not sure if she was the owner or an employee) was eager to give us a description of each cupcake, they included snicker, s’more, peanut butter banana, raspberry, key lime and variations of the traditional chocolate cupcake. My husband had the raspberry, which he loved and I tried the white cake with chocolate icing–in a word– YUMMY!
Afterward we strolled down the street stopping at Impressions, one of my favorite gift shops and then it was off across the street. We passed the Aldephi Hotel which has always been a curiosity to me, will have to check it out sometime. Someone on facebook.com commented that its a “trip in a time machine”. We also went by Spa Cascada. I picked up one of their flyers–Hmm might have to try them for manicure or a pedicure or maybe both. Further down Broadway is a store I wanted my husband Mark to check out for sure, since he’s an artist. Its called Soave Faire, a quirky little place with a great selection of art supplies for just about any medium. Along with unusual gifts, books and cards. If you haven’t gone in they are worth a visit.
We ended our trip in of all places the Sunoco gas station on Broadway. We were pretty low on fuel and since we shop almost exclusively at Pricechopper we were able to get 50 cents off each gallon of gas. That’s quite a savings! And did you know that Stewarts Shop has moved in there too. Now we are talking bargain!
