A new "premium pub" called Dove + Deer is being developed for a fall opening at the corner of State and Dove streets in Albany Center Square neighborhood. It is renovating and will take over the space that was Center Square Pub for about seven years, Pinto & Hobbs before that and, for many years, The Bleecker Cafe.

A post on Instagram explains that the street grid for Albany developed in the 1790s featured streets named for birds going north-south, mammals for east-west streets. The bird names remain, but mammal names have been changed; State Street apparently once was called Deer Street.
