Please do not listen to Kathleen L.. Maybe she is demanding and expecting too much. First,…read moreshouldn't go into a thrift shop, any thrift shop, looking for a particular thing. Second, never expect whatever you look at to be in tip-top condition or even having all its parts. It's a thrift store. You want top quality, look to purchase from regular retail stores. That being said, of general thrift stores, being Salvation Army, Goodwill, and Thrifty Shopper; I found Thrifty Shopper has more better products. Salvation Army quality and items seem like they are picked over/items often just trashed than have value. Clothing way overpriced and Salvation Army and Goodwill. That being said, clothing might have a stain, have a rip, miss a button; so either look into getting it repaired, fix it yourself, don't buy it. Surprising how much good things found there, simply because people do not look into how an item works(emptying trash in vacuum). Had good luck finding good deals. Do yourself a favor. If going into any thrift shop, test all electronics(ask for outlet to plug stuff in, prepare for there not being a power adapter for what you are looking at. If you keep expectations low, you will always be surprised. Finding stuff, personally had best of luck at Thrifty Shopper stores in general(two are in Syracuse as well). Expect there to be days you look, but don't see anything you want, need, or of value. You want to seriously find something with a guarantee, there is Amazon.com, EBay.com, Letgo.com.

The whole store needs a good clean, employees don't seem to care if you complain about anything. Found a few things but didn't have really and kind of selection for small babies. Good prices but selling expired food. Also being 32 weeks pregnant I tend to have to use the bathroom really anywhere I go. The bathroom here is the most disgusting I have ever seen. Looked like there was poop smeared on the wall. No toilet paper in either stall. Toilets would not flush. Huge open hole in the wall and just pure disgusting. Definitely never coming back to this one.

Located way down on the left hand side of the center, it is not to be missed! Heartsome Handicrafts is a store that showcases various local crafters. They have everything you could imagine and more. It is like a year round craft show! The prices are so reasonable and the owner herself is a crafter. She is friendly and knowledgeable not only of her products, but of all of her crafters as well! If you see something you like but might be interested in a different customization many of the crafters are able to do so! My pawprint heart was made just for me! I also commissioned a wood portrait of one of my dogs that came out stunning. In the future I hopefully look forward to having a wool husky made from a picture of my other dog. All these things I probably wouldn't have been able to afford elsewhere. So many items are unique and for sure not just the same old things you see at fair after fair. Please check them out for yourself or to find a great gift!!!

Utica's one hope for salvation seems to lie in its inexplicable appeal to Asian immigrants. I…read morepicked up a business card for Lucky Mey's at an acceptable, if unremarkable, Thai-inspired asian restaurant where my husband and I had dinner the night before. Lucky Mey's claim to be Utica's Best Asian grocery store is definitely warranted - in fact, I don't think it would be immodest for them to claim to be CNY's best grocery store, not that the competition is stiff. At any rate, this is a lovely store and should I ever have the misfortune to find myself living in Utica (not an impossibility since I just escaped a similarly dreary place in northern most reaches of NY state), I would patronize it frequently. Especially since the proprietor was incredibly friendly and impressed by my rather prosaic purchases of palm sugar, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, thai basil, and an assortment of noodles - inquiring if I had visited Thailand and if not how I knew so much about Thai food. Given her friendliness and excellent English, were I to live in Utica, I would ask her how to prepare all the unfamiliar but delicious-looking greens that the store stocked. In addition to produce, the store has a large and well-priced selection of packaged goods, a huge freezer section that I didn't have a chance to explore, and a big styrofoam cooler filled with live eels.
