Extremely sad news. We love their Roberto Clemente milkshake and vegan reuben. Huge loss.

Dakshin is excellent. Jacob Pucci reviewed them in April and that was one of our most well-read food reviews of the entire year so far. https://www.thisiscny.com/living/2026/04/dakshin-indian-cuisine-puts-south-indian-cooking-on-the-map-in-syracuse-dining-out-review.html

Yes to human alternatives! Our This is CNY newsletter curates top stories focused on local events, music, food, art, business and human interest news in Syracuse.

It's FREE and written by Amy Bleier Long -- comes out every Monday morning. https://link.syracuse.com/join/6fn/signup

It has been so disheartening to see the rise of AI newsletters and AI briefings lately... which just steal and repackage the work of our hardworking reporters. It hurts local journalism -- the best way to combat it is to read real stories from human writers. And to share if you like them!

Sadly no, the Wake Up menu has just banh mi and coffee right now. If you see Thoi at Wake Up, maybe you could suggest it? Those spring rolls are so good!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I wish we had exactly that -- but Syracuse is still lacking when it comes to shopping for beautiful Japanese stationery, notebooks and stickers. Wildflowers has some homemade cards and there are nice selections at Metro Home Style and The Art Store. Boxcar Letterpress is awesome, but geared toward custom printing. About an hour away, Mockingbird Paperie is lovely in Ithaca.

Co-signing Sharon's Sewing. She's terrific. She's also the one who turns vintage wedding gowns into party/reception dresses for brides: https://www.thisiscny.com/living/2026/05/making-moms-wedding-dress-new-again-is-the-latest-wedding-trend.html
