The heals were crap- it was a long shot for me. But I purchased them cheap and figured why not? I brought them in, they promised nothing, I expected little- and HOLY CRAP- they are gorgeous. The boots look brand new. The price? $80 bucks. Seriously? These boots will now last me forever. Not only are they masters in leather repair, but they are reasonably priced, always open and- ready for it- Nice people. I totally recommend and am a repeat customer and will continue to be a customer. Thank you for everything

A true small business that's been in Syracuse for decades. I had a broken zipper on my suitcase and…read morebrought it in. The owner was there when I dropped it off because the single repair person was on vacation. It's a small operation, somewhat limited hours. They were friendly and seemed knowledgeable though. They sent my suitcase to Samsonite for me and since it was under warranty it only cost me like $13. Really reasonable and easy.

We were visiting family in Upstate NY. Our bag broke, the zipper, a few days before we were…read morereturning home (by plane). We struggled to find a place that repairs zippers on luggage. Found Cities L & L online and brought it in. While it could not be repaired before we left, they were willing to fix it and ship it to us. We left it with them and in about 2 weeks we received it in the mail at our house. The zipper was fixed and they did a great job. I needed a descriptive receipt from them to send the company so they would reimburse me. L & L emailed me exactly what I needed to send the company to be reimbursed. I highly recommend and would go back there in a heartbeat if I need any leather/luggage repairs. Very nice, too. The price was super reasonable, also. Thank you Cities L & L!

Excellent service! They fixed my leather purse and the cost was fair! Highly recommended!read more

Had been looking for a shoe repair for the longest time. So glad I called and found out they were…read morelocal and open till 5pm on most days. Dropped it off Thurs and picked it up Friday. Very quiet service. The lady owner and her husband have had the spot for about 50 years now she said. They TAKE ONLY CASH. No cards. Super friendly and budget friendly prices. Paid about $12 for both shoes that needed repair. Will def recommend. Call ahead of time if confused about hours. There's lots of parking but beware this isnt located in the prettiest of places in town. Way worn down building and surroundings.

I went to the Blue Moon Emporium because it was initially advertised as an adult novelty and…read morelingerie shop but when I got there it was something completely different. Not sure if the owners realized that they could not make money just selling novelties and lingerie but now they have live lingerie models and body works. Which is code language for strippers and happy endings. Sorry but that is just terrible and disgusting and made me afraid of touching the door knobs. Also the area that they are in is a very crowded area and they hang these obnoxious signs. It not even classy. Everyone knowns what you are going in there for. Since I got there and parked and I still decided to go in. I tried to be inconspicuous. I walked up the steps and as soon as i stepped in there was a really weird smell to the place and the place was totally tacky. I guess what did I expect? In other cities they have high end erotic novelty shops. This was not. I don't know if it was the manager but she just kept looking at me funny the whole time I was in there. The weird manager, tackiness and finally the smell was too much for me. I left. I told my friend about going to Blue Moon Emporium and he told me that this place use to be a funeral home and they use to do all the embalming there. His friend's parents owned the place and they said the placed smells like that because of the chemicals. He said after it was a funeral home it was housing for some addicts and that a couple of people died of overdoses right in the part where the store is now. I guess aside from the thought of what it was before and all of the death - what is worse is just the tackiness and smell. Last note, there is no discreet parking here - it is all street parking in on a crowded street in front of these huge signs advertising "LIVE LINGERIE MODELS"

Mel is awesome, and his shine stand is awesome too. He sets up in front of 729 7th Ave (Southwest…read morecorner of 49th Street) and gets it done. It's a wonderful throwback to the days of a cheap, well done shine (currently $3). Just sit back, read the newspaper, and let Mel hook your shows up with a great shine. I'm pretty sure that he's always there, and even if someone's in the chair in front of you, you'll only wait a few minutes. Four stars for the shine, one more for Mel.

Selection blew me away in addition to a great selection of Carhartt work clothes and real leather belts... The kind that won't fall apart... I mean real leather belts that probably you'll be able to pass down generations ha ha ha. No seriously... The belts are solid unlike most that you see in the department store is that are laminated. If you are thinking Long haul... Buy your stuff here... It will last.

The jewelry here is super cute, and they also carry home goods such as candles with seashells from California, pillows, furniture, and other house decor.
