Stop #1 on the 2BD Tour de Capital Region — Cardona’s Market 🇮🇹 🥖 A Capital Region classic since 1945, Cardona’s is a family-owned Italian market serving up scratch-made favorites for generations. What started as a small shop in Albany has grown into three locations — still run by the Cardona family and still doing things the old-school way 🍝🔥 From meatballs and chicken cutlets to lasagna and eggplant parm, Cardona’s does it all with family recipes passed down for decades. The Latham location also features a full market, butcher, and fresh & frozen food sections stocked with top-tier selections. Team 2BD loaded up on subs (including The Best Buddy, which donates a portion of each sale this month to bestbuddiesny), homemade soup, and a few sweet treats for later 🥪 👀 Follow along as we eat our way through every local lunch spot in the Capital Region — and let us know where we should go next 👇 cardonasmarket #tourdecapitalregion #aroundalbany #upstateny #supportlocal
