This week we’re chatting with Angie Gomez Davis! She shares the many hats she’s worn in her career (from counselor to veterinary technician to realtor!), her go-to spots when she’s looking to relax with a facial or manicure, her wish list for future downtown restaurants, and more…
Tell us about yourself!
I’m the oldest of 4, and was born and raised in NYC by a single mom who worked very hard to provide for us. My work ethic and drive comes from her and I’ll forever be grateful for her as my role model. I spent summers with my Grandma in the Dominican Republic, making Spanish my first language.
I have a thirst for knowledge that has led me to wearing many hats in this lifetime, such as crisis intervention counselor and veterinary technician. Currently, I am a realtor with Selling ADK and love being able to use my research skills and compassion to help my community buy or sell real estate with a warm approach. When I’m not working, you can find me on roller skates, reading, or fishing for bass and lake trout.
On Life In and Around Glens Falls
My husband was born and raised in Queensbury. We bought a 1900 duplex near Crandall Park in Glens Falls three years ago, where we lived upstairs and rented downstairs. We recently moved closer to downtown and have started putting roots down. I love the community events and support that Glens Falls offers, like the Thursday Market and Food Truck Corral at The Shirt Factory and the ADK Gateway Homeownership Program.
A Perfect Glens Falls Day
My perfect day starts with a breakfast sandwich at Lox of Bagels and a coffee at Kru. When I’m looking to unwind and relax, I get a facial at 518 Beauty Room and a manicure at Studio Bari. My favorite date night spot is [farmacy] and fave family dinner spot is Log Jam. Some of my other favorites include Sweet Rice Thai, Angelina’s Pizzeria, Alif Cafe, Aroy Dee and the Park & Elm Market.
On the Past
I love the Glens Falls community and have the best neighbors! We have felt welcomed and have received so much love through fresh baked bread, hand picked flowers, cookies, and sharing pastimes. The owners of Jenny Jo’s Smoothies also know how much we love their smoothies, and when they have extras leftover after the Farmer’s Market they leave us some on our porch.
On the Future
If I could wave a wand, everyone would be dancing. I’d love to see more of a nightlife downtown — a public space that allows people to socialize and dance with a DJ or band. Being that foodie that I am, I also have to say that a ramen spot, rooftop bar or BBQ smokehouse would be nice!
