Moving Forward with Sperry Restaurant Plans

SARATOGA SPRINGS —A new application filed with the city seeks an area variance to move forward with plans that would restore Sperry’s Restaurant on Caroline Street, build residential units above the restaurant, and combine the project with a recently approved mixed-use project just to its west. 

Sperry’s Restaurant operated in the Spa City for 91 years before closing in early 2023. New owner Louis Lazzinnaro told News 10 Albany earlier this year he was planning to keep the restaurant as Sperry’s with minimum interior redesigning that would match a new hotel proposed atop a lot he owns just west of the restaurant. 

The lot formerly housed a two-story commercial building constructed as a tannery in the late 1800s which was felled in the aftermath of a Thanksgiving Day 2016 blaze. 

The proposal appears as New Business on the Zoning Board of Appeals agenda, with a meeting scheduled to place 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 22 at Saratoga Springs City Hall.
