Condensed to show Schenectady's #1

Congrats to all! And it appears that Uncle Sam's is the winner every year!! Deservingly so!

Congratulations to all...

Just a quick correction to the list, Canali's, The Old Brick Furniture Co. and Frank Gallo and Son's Florist (at least the Altamont Ave. location) are NOT located in Schenectady, but in the wonderful town of Rotterdam.

And congrats to the best chocolatier around!  Giving Willy Wonka a run for his everlasting gobstopper!

Sorry, I filtered out Schenectady COUNTY - not just the city

No problem, my issue was with the fact that the person who wrote it up didn't know where the places were actually located.
