OrbitalFire, a managed security service provider headquartered in Queensbury, launched a new service platform in early June. It is designed to help small businesses.
“OrbitalFire provides cybersecurity solutions specially designed for small and medium-sized businesses, including regulatory compliance, risk management, assessment, training, security monitoring and other services that have traditionally been available only to enterprises,” according to CEO Reg Harnish.
“Cybersecurity is confusing for most businesses—they don’t know where to start. Our goal at OrbitalFire is to redefine cybersecurity for small businesses. Your small to medium business doesn’t look like Target, or Walmart, or Boeing. So you shouldn’t think about cybersecurity in the same way they do,” he said.

Adirondack Zombie Hunters In Aviation Mall Offers Simulated Shooting Ranges

Posted onFebruary 14, 2020February 14, 2020

By Rachel Phillips
Adirondack Zombie Hunters LLC has relocated to the Aviation Mall in Queensbury.
Formerly located in Lake George, Adirondack Zombie Hunters, or ADKZH, first opened in 2018. Co-owner Grant Fish II said that part of the reason he and his family started the business in Lake George was to provide indoor entertainment, which he felt was lacking in the Adirondack area. They had always intended to move into Queensbury to be more accessible to their regulars.
“We scouted several locations. The mall had the best space for our needs,” said Fish.
The new location is around 3000 square feet, located between Spencer’s and Peter Harris.

Radici Kitchen & Bar is a new restaurant on Ridge Street in Glens Falls.
Carly Mankouski and business partner Mike Graney co-own the business at 26 Ridge St. Mankouski’s life partner, Brian Bowden, will be the executive chef.
The menu features handmade pastas, house-butchered whole fish, snacks and small plates, several salads and larger entree courses.
Bowden said everything is handmade, in-house, and as locally sourced and as seasonal as possible. “We don’t even have a freezer in this space, so it will all be done fresh, and daily.”
“We have 14 craft beer lines on tap, and an approachable, but interesting, wine list. We just hired a bar manager with experience up and down the east coast. He’s going to create some stunning craft cocktails,” he said.

Woman Opens Barbershop In Fort Edward, Offering All Styles Of Cuts For Men, Boys

Posted onJanuary 16, 2020January 17, 2020
Olivia Cabana has opened Liv’s Broadway Barbershop at 128 Broadway in Fort Edward, where she does hair for boys and men, from a skin fade to an all-over scissors cut.

By Susan E. Campbell
A woman-owned, woman-run barbershop may be a rare thing, but a new one has come to Fort Edward.
Liv’s Broadway Barbershop opened at 128 Broadway on Nov. 15. It is the first business owned by Olivia Cabana, originally a resident of Queensbury and a trained barber for the past five years.
“I always wanted my own business,” said Cabana. “The last shop I worked for was privately owned by a good friend. I didn’t realize it was something I could do on my own.”
But after observing what it was like to have a business, Cabana thought it would be “a fun thing to do” as well as “a dream and a goal.” And so far, she said, “I am pleased with what I have accomplished.”
As a barber, Cabana does hair for boys and men, from a skin fade to an all-over scissors cut.
“The shop is not focused on haircuts for women,” she said.

‘Seafood On The Bay’ Opens In Glens Falls, Offers Louisiana-Style Cajun Cuisine

By Jill Nagy
On visits to Glens Falls, Tiffany Ni and her family noticed that the city’s lively restaurant scene still lacked a Louisiana-style Cajun seafood restaurant. So they created one.
Seafood on the Bay, at 21-27 Bay St., opened just before Christmas.
The space, formerly occupied by Superior Cantina, has been vacant for nearly two years. It needed a lot of cleaning up and “the change from Mexican to ocean” took some redecorating, Ni said.
The chef is Zong Xin, who has worked at other restaurants in the area. In addition, there is a staff of seven employees and, since the place is family-owned, “everybody helps.” There is seating for 100 people.
Business, so far, has been “so-so … A lot of people don’t know we are open,” said Jennie Zheng, an employee.

By Jennifer Farnsworth
Jackson Donnelly remembers when his love of hiking began. As a Lake George native, he said as a child taking hikes with his dad ignited his love and appreciation for the outdoors.
Today he is taking his connection to nature and turning it into a business called Hike With Jackson. He says anyone can learn the art of hiking and can do so in the beauty of the North Country.
“I’m excited to show others all the beauty of the Adirondacks that is right here in our backyard,” said Donnelly.
Hike With Jackson offers 20- to 30-minute hikes, half day hikes and full day hikes.
Donnelly is an accomplished hiker, including having ADK 46er on his resume, a title that stands for having completed hikes at the 46 peaks in the Adirondacks. He began those hikes while he was a freshman in high school. As a student at the University of Buffalo, he felt a noticeable void, not being out on the trails.
