Then came The Cake Boss, Alton Brown, Kristin<br />
Chenoweth, Bethenny Frankel, George Hamilton,<br />
KD Lang, Barbara Eden, and Miss America. “I fed<br />
a burger to The Godfather <strong>of</strong> Soul James Brown,”<br />
said Ambition co-owner Marc Renson---as he let<br />
out an umm, tilted his head and gave a wink, as if<br />
saying, yay, I’m cool!<br />
as the specialty sandwiches---and the crisp, fresh<br />
greens and fresh vegetable garnishes make the perfect<br />
accompaniment and/or entrée.<br />
Renson’s bread pudding won the award from<br />
<strong>Taste</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Capital Region---and the judges from<br />
Yelp Albany chose his chili as winner in the Chili<br />
Chow Down contest 2016. Ambition was chosen<br />
as one <strong>of</strong> the best restaurants in 2013 by the<br />
Daily Gazette---and was voted as one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
restaurants you must see when visiting <strong>Schenectady</strong><br />
from Culture Trip in 2015.<br />
<strong>No</strong>w celebrating 18 years in<br />
operation, this Downtown<br />
<strong>Schenectady</strong> restaurant is<br />
known for its funky menu,<br />
nostalgic atmosphere (“if you<br />
like the gay 80s,” says Renson),<br />
and openness!<br />
Ambition also <strong>of</strong>fers a fully stocked bar. Their<br />
barista prepares all espresso-based c<strong>of</strong>fee drinks,<br />

Ambition specializes in serving breakfast and specialty<br />
sandwiches Monday through Friday 8am till<br />

Wrap, Tomato Wrap, Wheat Wrap, Croissant, Hard<br />
Roll, or Bagel ($1 additional on whole sandwiches<br />

or Pretzel Bread (for an additional $2 whole<br />
sandwiches only). Select your bread and Build-<br />
Your-Own Sandwiches by choosing your favorite<br />
