Saratoga Race Track FAQ:

For a while now, I’ve been bringing my mobile DJ rig out to Flat Rock Park and under the Hathorn Pavilion. The response from people walking by and stopping to dance has been amazing (I don't think people are used to this sort of thing, and it really gets them going, literally every demographic imaginable just screaming and dancing), and I just realized the local zoning allows me to pull the setup closer to Caroline, so I'm going to try setting up near Dive on Phila this Friday. This will be my first track season set, so I'm expecting it'll get wild. Basically using the side of the Verizon building as a natural amplifier.

I’m running a proper, high-quality mobile club setup (Pioneer decks and a JBL Partybox that absolutely rips, even includes a cute little light show). I don't accept donations or tips, this really is about just turning your brain off and dancing (if people insist, I direct them to RMFR, a cat shelter in Denver, where I also funnel my Twitch donations).

I play underground NYC/Berlin club music, mostly heavy, hypnotic, fun house and techno. The sets are tightly mixed, smooth and in key, nothing goofy. I also test out some of my own productions, made on Roland hardware. This is the sort of thing I usually have going on:
https://soundcloud.com/temple_dance/radio-432-003
https://soundcloud.com/temple_dance/radio-432-004

I'm looking to build a small, rotating crew of regulars and guest DJs to swap out with so I can actually step back and dance too. Eventually, I’d love to turn this into something bigger and a bit more permanent, like a free monthly underground electronic party, that'll take a bit of planning though (I do have a full professional club rig, minus the speakers, when it comes to that, just need a good venue - the shows All of Us have done at UPH have been incredible, something like that would be the dream). It would be so cool in the short term to get a good group gathered somewhere like behind Spit and Spat near the old Roman columns, or up behind the Trask fountain (cool little pine grove up there, secluded in a good way).

If you want to come hang out, dance, or jump on the decks, keep an eye out for me downtown. I post my setup locations and times here, and I try to get out once every weekend: https://linktr.ee/cboydj

Come say hi this Friday, 9PM - 12AM. Message me if you're interested in being a part of the production, have any ideas, or want to get involved and bring some proper NYC/Berlin nightclub techno to Saratoga or the Capital Region. I'd love to build a community, make some music with you, and just have fun.

Also - earlier this year I met with city officials, code enforcement, and the police to make sure I was doing this right, they were actually super supportive. They couldn't give explicit permission, but they gave me a cautious green light as long as I stayed within the city's (extraordinarily relaxed) street performance and noise ordinances. The noise from Caroline dwarfs what I've got going on anyway.

I’m wondering if there’s someone who volunteers at the animal shelter to at could explain something to me. There is a cat that was abandoned by the people up the street. They moved almost a month ago and didn’t take her with them.

I called the Saratoga County Animal Shelter because I I wanted to bring her in so she could get help/find a home. I was told I cannot bring her in until August 13th. I told them she was a stray. This is not my cat. There is proof of this. Why am I having to wait so long to bring this cat to the shelter?? I thought that was the point of an animal shelter.

Anyway I posted about this on the Nextdoor app and there was a person who claimed they volunteer there and that the shelter definitely wasn’t full. I ended up deleting the post because it became overwhelming with the number of comments and messages I was getting but I’m trying to figure out what the hell to do. I plan to call the shelter back and ask them about this but was hoping someone might have additional insight?

We have been told that animal control only deals with dogs now. Unsure if that’s true as well.

I called several rescues. Most cannot help. One might be able to but we are being pressured to keep this cat from them when we can’t.

I’m just feeling like we tried to do what we felt was the right thing by helping this cat and the places who are supposed to be for situations like this (meaning the shelter) isn’t helping. This can’t wait another three weeks.

I will also never be able to help another stray again if I come across one because of this which I think is sad. Everyone talks about how terrible it is when a cat is abandoned or lost but nobody wants to actually help??

Does anyone have a list of the local farmer's markets?

TIA!

Saratoga Springs has such a unique mix of history, great food, outdoor spaces, and local culture that I'm sure there are plenty of places visitors overlook. If you could recommend one hidden gem or local tradition that captures the spirit of Saratoga Springs, what would it be? Whether it's a favorite restaurant, a peaceful park, a seasonal event, or an off-the-beaten-path spot, I'd love to hear what makes it special and why it's worth checking out.

Morning everyone. This past Saturday 7/18/26, we came out for the horse races to celebrate our friend Kevin who passed away last year. Fast forward to about 115pm; We were by Shake Shack near the bathrooms watching the horses doing their laps in the stables. Random dude comes out of the bathroom and looks at our group and says to us

“Next race, four and six are going to win and show because they excel on dirt.”

We all look at each other and we’re like “Ok let’s give it a shot!”

Not sure if it was Kevin looking down on us or what, but I bet $10 bucks on a 4 6 exacta and won $126.10 on that race!

BATHROOM DUDE IF YOU’RE IN HERE…THANK YOU SOO MUCH.

Please hit me up and let me know when you’re going back to the track! lol

Hi yall,

Looking to get a ride service from Saratoga Springs to Lake George on Saturday morning and back Saturday afternoon. Is uber reliable this time of year on the weekends? Any recommendation for a shuttle service for 9 people?

Appreciate the help!

Hi! Just moved to the area and was wondering if anyone knew some asian supermarkets/bakeries around here? I’m Thai and have really been craving honeycomb cake and other asian desserts. Let me know, thanks!

I’m seeing a lot of mixed reviews. I was thinking of going there for dinner but I’m not so sure anymore.

Hello! First time going to see DMB at SPAC tonight and I’m bringing my kids (age 11 and 8). I’m new to area and would love some advice from locals. Where is best place to park? Should I get into town early and explore Saratoga park before gates open? I have Terrace seats…does that get me in before gates open? How packed does the Terrace get? Thanks in advance!

New to town. Looking for your fav date night dinner recommendations. Would like to dress up a little, nicer than casual. Have a reservation at Familiar Creature, but should I consider elsewhere?

TIA!

Hi all! Have a relative coming down and would like to take them out to eat a few times throughout the week. He doesn’t get to experience being out and about much but it’s a bit superficial for my budget as a young adult.

So I’d appreciate a few spots in Saratoga or surrounding that are cheap but not junk fast food!

Thank you :)

Hey everyone, I’m currently looking for a nighttime or weekend job/side work in the Schenectady/Albany area.
I already work during the day but I’m looking to pick up extra hours. I have experience in a lot of different areas and I’m willing to learn or help with whatever is needed.
Some of my experience:
Landscaping (mowing, trimming, cleanups, yard work, outdoor maintenance)
DJing (events, parties, setting up equipment, music/event help)
Restaurant experience (serving, bussing, customer service, fast-paced environments)
Sales/customer service
Marketing/social media/design
General labor, moving, organizing, cleaning, and hands-on work
I’m reliable, hardworking, have my own transportation, and can work evenings, nights, and weekends. I’m open to restaurants, events, warehouses, security, labor jobs, private gigs, or anything else that could use an extra person.

Hey all! Exciting to get back and see Saratoga again. A great place to visit. Going up at the end of August and looking for a spot where 12 of us can have a nice dinner. Really any cuisine, but great cocktails, wine, service is wanted. will take any recs!

Already planned:

Racetrack

SPAC show

Mineral springs/spa for part of a day

Lots of outdoorsy (and free/cheap) stuff

Anything that is "can't miss," even if there is a price tag attached? Looking for basically any non-food recommendations.

Thanks, friends 👍👍

In my opinion, Sergio's Pizza has the best pizza for miles. Being from the city, I've tried so many places in the surrounding area and nowhere else comes close. I just want to see if my neighbors agree or if I'm missing something.

The clear coat on hood has a 2” or so blister that is only getting worse. 11yo old car so hoping to avoid full repaint and have heard these spots are repairable, doesn’t need to be perfect.

Anyone know of a mobile service in the area or a shop that’s ok with small jobs like this ? My mechanic advised some of the mobile detailing guys may do paint repair too but I haven’t come up with much and a couple unreturned calls.
