The vibe has really turned around in Troy. Some say it's the next Brooklyn, speaking to the revival of a walkable downtown area with artisan shops, bars, restaurants, and events. There is also a great waterfront walk along the Hudson River. It's a more refined scene compared to the slightly college-town cove of Albany.
