Sometimes we get a call to photograph something and we just know its going to be so much fun. This was one of those calls. The Point is Albany’s hottest new restaurant and what could be more fun than checking it out and getting to see all that amazing food and those unbelievable cocktails? Once you see the pictures you’ll know exactly what I mean. The restaurant itself is huge and the bar colossal. There are so many different areas that they can accommodate everything from big corporate groups to couples looking for a quiet spot. The lounge is edgy and funky and very comfortable and the menu has something for everyone. We also got a tour of the kitchen which was immaculate and spacious and surely a dream for any chef. So if you haven’t already been to The Point go there immediately. It will not disappoint. You’ll find it at 1100 Madison Avenue.
