    Michael's Banquet House

    I have been here for a couple of Easter brunches over the years and they don't disappoint.  Also coming in at under $20, this place is best enjoyed with a large group and if you plan to come early. They're located at 1019 New Loudon Road, Cohoes; make reservations at 518-785-8524.
