A Jacks of a different color...purple. Albany mainstay stays worthy.

Did not stain the dining or commaraderie and the chance for laura bill and i to spend good time with a guest from Colorado via Wash DC

Jacks Oyster House salmon
Every city has one. In Baltimore it was The Chesapeake House or Oyster Bay or Haussners with paintings covering walls and ceilings platters of turkey and roast beef and ham and dumplings and cabbage. In NYC there was Luchows...steins of beer and stucco and venison and spaetzel etc. Venerable ..then gone. So do what we did in Albany and eat at Jacks or whatever your Jacks is. The Jack Horse reviewed below in newish but doesnt look newish. The Jacks in Albany has charm and grace and fine Salmon and oysters and caesar salad and shrimp cocktails served on icy glass bricks. And the wine that one Bill selected was enjoyed by another bill who doesnt have to pay for the cleaning bill after a waiter possibly named Bill spilled some of that Burgundy ...because the wait staff swooped in with seltzer and a cleaners business card to make it right...the way you would in a classy mainstay.
