Stage One Dispensary

Colonie Cannabis

Colonie doesn’t have a single defining identity the way some Capital Region towns do, and that’s sort of the point. Known locally as the “Crossroads of the Capital Region,” it’s where major highways converge, where the area’s biggest mall sits, and where a huge share of Capital Region residents end up for shopping, dining, or just passing through on the way somewhere else. It’s less about the destination and more about everything that’s packed into it.

Stage One Dispensary is just minutes away across the river in Rensselaer. As one of the first legally licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries in the Capital Region, Stage One is locally owned, stocked with NY-grown, lab-tested cannabis across every major product category, and open seven days a week for delivery, pickup, or in-person shopping. Every price includes all NYS taxes, no surprises at checkout, just great cannabis and people who know their stuff.

Things to Do

The Crossings of Colonie is the town’s signature green space and one of the best passive parks in the entire Capital Region. Spanning 130 acres in the heart of Colonie, just off Albany Shaker Road, the park features 6.5 miles of paved multi-use trails winding through open meadows, thick woodlands, and a small arboretum, all centered around a three-acre pond. Whether you’re walking, running, biking, or just looking for a quiet place to clear your head, the trails accommodate it all, and the park’s farm-style buildings and gazebo give it a pastoral character that feels far removed from the busy commercial corridors nearby.

Colonie Town Park & Pool offers a different kind of outdoor experience. Located along the Mohawk River, the 160-acre park has been a community fixture since opening in 1967, with an Olympic-size pool, a separate training pool, a splash pad, eight pickleball courts, tennis courts, and nature trails that wind through the property. It’s the kind of park built for actually doing something, whether that’s lap swimming, a pickup game, or just spending a summer afternoon outside.

For those who like to keep moving, Colonie connects directly to the Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail, a regional trail network that runs along the Mohawk River and links the town to neighboring communities throughout the Capital Region. It’s one of the most extensive paved trail systems in upstate New York, and Colonie’s stretch of it offers easy access for a quick ride or a longer trek depending on how far you want to go.

Food & Drink in Colonie

Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a place to unwind with a drink, Colonie has plenty of local favorites worth visiting. Beer lovers can stop by Broken Loop Brewing Co., where you’ll find a rotating selection of craft brews in a welcoming taproom. For classic pub fare, burgers, pizzas, and a full bar, Korner Bar & Grille is a neighborhood favorite that’s equally popular for catching the game or meeting friends after work.

If you’re craving international flavors, Colonie offers several standout options along Central Avenue. Hu’s House serves authentic Chinese cuisine with an extensive menu of traditional favorites, while Mazadar Mediterranean Kitchen is known for its fresh Mediterranean dishes, including flavorful kebabs, wraps, rice platters, and vegetarian options. Together, these locally owned restaurants showcase the variety of dining experiences that make Colonie a great destination for food, whether you’re in the mood for comfort food, craft beer, or something from around the world.

Where to Shop

Colonie is the Capital Region’s retail hub, and Colonie Center is the anchor. The 1.3 million square foot enclosed mall on Wolf Road has been the area’s dominant shopping destination since 1966, anchored by Macy’s and Boscov’s and home to over 100 specialty stores covering everything from fashion and beauty to electronics and home goods. Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, Sephora, and a full food court round out a mall that serves as the go-to retail destination for residents across the entire Capital Region. If you need it, Colonie Center probably has it.

For something beyond the mall, Rensselaer is just minutes away across the river — Broadway’s growing strip of local businesses makes for a worthwhile detour, and Stage One Dispensary at 810 Broadway is the most unique retail experience in the area. NY-grown, lab-tested cannabis across every major product category, all-in pricing with every NYS tax included, and a team that genuinely knows their stuff. Worth making part of any shopping trip.
