SARATOGA SPRINGS — About a month after it was announced that Herbie’s Burgers was opening its first Spa City location at the Ice House, news has arrived that a second outpost will launch at the forthcoming Pint Sized by Dive bar at 33 Phila Street.

“The rumors are true,” said Pint Sized in an Instagram post. “Our friends at Herbie’s Burgers are joining us at our new Saratoga Springs location at 33 Phila Street! We get to work on October 1st. Aiming for a speedy buildout with a late fall opening ahead of the busy Spa City holiday season.”

Herbie’s is a growing smash burger chain that was founded in Albany in 2021. The company has seven locations outside of Saratoga, including three in Albany, one in Clifton Park, and one in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Pint Sized by Dive is in the process of moving its business from 489 Broadway to 33 Phila. It will continue operating at its current location until the end of this year.

Saratoga Supergroup: Siro’s and Danny Petrosino Join Forces for New Eatery

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Business.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Noah’s, an Italian chophouse set to open sometime next month, announced this week that Danny Petrosino of Osteria Danny fame will be creating all its pasta and gelato. 

Petrosino sold Danny’s in May after owning the restaurant for nine years. 

Noah’s is spearheaded by Noah Frese, the executive chef at Siro’s. It’s located at 43 Phila Street, and is one of several news restaurants joining the Phila block party. Familiar Creature, a Montreal-inspired wine bar, is currently open at 42 Phila. Standard Fare, the latest venture from the duo behind Bocage Champagne Bar, opens Aug. 15. Fillies on Phila, a casual wood-fired pizza restaurant, also recently opened at 39-41 Phila.

Albany Airport Completes First Phase of Construction Project

ALBANY — The Albany International Airport (ALB) recently announced that it has completed Phase 1 of its Concourse A Rehabilitation Project, marking a milestone in the most substantial overhaul to the concourse since it opened in 1979.

The focal point of this first phase is the addition of two new jet bridge-equipped gates, A1 and A2, located on the upper level alongside existing gates A3 through A6. Previously, gates A1 and A2 functioned as ground-level boarding areas, accessible only by walking outside, and were rarely used. These second-floor gates replace that outdated infrastructure with a modern, weather-protected boarding experience.

“Albany International is the front door to our region, and this project shows we’re serious about making a great first impression,” said Sam Fresina, chair of the Albany County Airport Authority Board in a news release. “We’re not just updating a concourse, we’re investing in infrastructure that supports jobs, attracts new routes, and keeps this airport competitive for years to come.”

“Albany International is the oldest municipal airport in the nation, and has come a long way since it was built on this site nearly 100 years ago. We knew it needed to be modernized as it continues to grow,” said Daniel P. McCoy, Albany County executive.

The first flights to use the newly constructed gates departed on July 28, with Allegiant Air operating from Gate A1 and United Airlines scheduled to depart from Gate A2 later in the week. These inaugural departures mark the official opening of the upgraded portion of Concourse A for passenger service.

Additional upgrades in Phase 1 include:

• Polished terrazzo flooring and a modernized ceiling design

• All-new seating with integrated power outlets

• Dedicated space for a future concession vendor

• Upgraded lighting and energy-efficient infrastructure

The cost of construction for the full Concourse A Rehabilitation Project is $13.36 million. Of that, $10.6 million was provided through a federal grant from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The funding supports the full scope of the project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2026.

The Concourse A project was made possible in part by a $10.6 million federal grant secured through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand were instrumental in delivering this funding to Albany.

Future phases will include renovations to gates A3 through A6, improved restrooms, upgraded mechanical systems, and additional passenger amenities, which are all designed to modernize the concourse, enhance the customer experience, and support ALB’s continued growth.

Two Arrested in Senior Scam

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in News.

On July 31, 2025, State Police in Clifton Park with the assistance of the United States Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), arrested Chuncheng Lin, 26 of Brooklyn, NY, and Hui Lin, 40 of Flushing, NY each for Grand Larceny in the third degree and Conspiracy in the fifth degree.

On June 30, 2025, at about 2:00 p.m. Troopers received a complaint from an elderly Saratoga County resident reporting they believed they were the victim of a computer scam. The investigation determined the victim was contacted on June 18, 2025, via computer and then by phone by an individual who falsely claimed they worked for the Citizens Bank Fraud Department, and threatened the victim with legal prosecution if they did not provide money in the form of cash and gift cards.  For a week leading up to the victim reporting the scam, the victim lost more than $80,000 in cash and gift cards by means of extortion.  

On July 31, the suspect re-contacted the victim and demanded another $30,000.   Under the supervision of SP Clifton Park Investigators and with the cooperation of the victim an additional meeting was scheduled. Chuncheng Lin and Hui Lin, who are unknown to the victim, traveled from the Long Island Region to the agreed upon location in Halfmoon, NY.  The suspects took possession of a package they reportedly believed contained $30,000 from the victim.   At which time the suspects were taken into custody and transported to SP Clifton Park where they were interviewed by State Police Investigators and HSI Agents.

Both suspects were issued appearance tickets returnable to the Halfmoon Town Court on August 27, 2025, and released. 

The investigation is ongoing.
