<p>I will be heading up to Union in a few weeks with my son to show him the school. although I am an alumnus, it has been thirty years so I need some recent local knowledge of some fun places to eat in the area. I will be heading up via the NYS Thruway and will need a place to grab some dinner close to Union. The route takes us off exit 24 on the Thruway and then following the local route to Union. What might be a decent, fun dinner spot close to Union? By the way, is Gershons still there? Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>That link is from the Union website about things to do around town. They have hotels, entertainment, stores, etc. too.
The dining list is categorized by the price and then within the categories is listed by the distance from the school which is helpful. </p>
<p>Other than that I'm not sure...I don't often go off campus for dinner but rather order in.</p>
<p>Thanks. How's Scotti's these days?</p>
<p>i've never heard of it...
what is it?</p>

<p>While I have not been, the new place in town is Apertivo Bistro. Here is a review. There is a lot of redevelopment in downtown Schenectady.</p>
<p>Three Sons- thanks. I just sent you a PM.</p>
