Fall is a beautiful time to get out and about in the mid-valley to experience the last bits of sunny weather, check out the blaze of fall colors, and enjoy a little adventure touring historic covered bridges just a short drive (or bike ride!) from Albany.

BRICK & MORTAR CAFE
Start your day with a hearty breakfast of biscuits and gravy, a stuffed omelet or many other delicious selections at Brick & Mortar Café and get a coffee to go before you head out the door. For something lighter, hit Margin Coffee Co. for coffee and tasty pastry.
If you are planning to visit more than a few of the bridges, you might consider getting your lunch to-go from Bodhi Artisan Bakery. This small establishment is big on flavor, with a wide selection of pastries and a lunch menu that includes soups, salads and deli sandwiches to-go. Bodhi also offers take-out breakfast if you’re looking for one-stop shopping.
When you return to Albany, unwind with a cold drink at one of our local pubs. Both Deluxe Brewing and Calapooia Brewery serve award-winning, locally crafted beers and fine spirits. They also provide great dining options: Calapooia offers a full menu, featuring burgers and classic pub fare, while Deluxe partners with a popular food truck to cater to its patrons.
More Dining Options
And if you want to cap the night with a little entertainment, The Pix Theatre offer first run movies, while Albany Civic Theater is likely to have an entertaining local production running.
