Let's not forget that we also will be staying a night in Schenectady, so dinner choices are explored there as well.
The Amtrak station is right downtown, and most places to eat will be passed on the short walk to the hotels.
There is an Irish Pub named Katie O'Byrne's right adjacent to the Amtrak station (we saw it from the train on our March trip east from Rochester)
Centre Street Pub (burgers, wings, pizza, quesadillas)
Johnny's (mostly Italian sit-down, reasonably priced)
Fast Food: There is a Burger King diagonally across the street from the Amtrak station. A Subway restaurant is very close to the Hampton Inn along State Street.
