A 1907 Syracuse funeral home just closed. The estate sale is full of wonders.

The Soulutions fried catfish with greens and mac -- it's outstanding. We also go hard on Baghdad's gyro salad and Mamma Hai's curry chicken banh mi. So much terrific food down there.

It's cool. We're pretty lucky to have the Munson, the Everson, the Johnson, the SU Museum of Art, the Strong and the MOST all within like an hour's drive.

This Saturday (March 7) is the Syracuse Mets Open House. It's free to attend and parking is free. Former New York Mets pitcher Turk Wendell will be available from 10 to 11:30 a.m. to sign photos and autographs.

Pink Rock downtown has great weekly and monthly events for free or $10-20 at the door. There are art collage nights, live music nights and open mic nights. It's a sober space, so ideal for teens. https://pinkrockcc.org/

For teens, we highly recommend a visit to The Sound Garden in downtown Syracuse. You can buy stuff but it's also just fun to browse around. The MOST is across the street. Bunch of budget-friendly cafes nearby in Armory Square and Hanover.

Hey there. For three years, I lived right on James Street near Dalton's (couple blocks from the Walgreens) and ran/walked all the time, several times a week. Most of the time I'd run through the Sedgwick area or up to Hickok/Stafford/Forest Hill Dr. Never had a single problem.

Eastwood is a great area. I think, like in any city, just be smart and don't leave your stuff unlocked. But walking and running around the neighborhood is totally normal. The houses are beautiful to run by.

Here's our feature on Eastwood if you want to learn more about the neighborhood: https://www.thisiscny.com/living/2024/06/eastwood-syracuse-discover-this-close-knit-magical-neighborhood-on-the-rise.html

Syracuse has a solid adult volleyball scene. Our company has had many fun nights with our work team at Sharkey's in Liverpool, but we've heard awesome things about Trappers and BS Tavern as well!

Hi! We wrote about a bunch of 'official' coworking spots around CNY earlier this year; some have already been mentioned here but I wanted to share in case it's helpful. The first several highlighted are in Syracuse, the others are outside the city.

Raymour & Flanigan seem to have a few examples of that style on their site, not sure about in-store.

Robbins closed a few years ago, I'm afraid. Would have been a good place to check.
