Albany is the capital of the State of New York and the county seat of Albany County. The city sits on the Hudson River and has a major port. The Hudson River has been deepened so that ocean going ships can reach the city.

The economy is heavily dependent on the state government, with much of Albany's population being employed by various state departments and legislators. The city is branded as "Tech Valley" for the growing number of companies, entrepreneurs and research facilities focusing on high-tech industries such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, homeland security, information technology and alternative energy.

Albany's geographic situation as a "Crossroads City" (roughly equidistant between New York, Montreal, Buffalo and Boston) makes it a convenient stop for nationally touring artists and acts. The Palace Theatre and The Egg provide mid-sized forums for music, theater and spoken word performances.
