It kind of acts like a retail incubator for entrepreneurs who want a storefront but not necessarily one with huge square footage. There's a great variety of different small local businesses, from vintage clothes, candle and perfume making, a barbershop, Sinbun, jewelry, and much more. The space is constantly evolving and welcoming new vendors, and there are sometimes bigger community events like markets. You can also rent out the space in the middle for private events. Just a really eclectic, cool spot in our city and well worth checking out!

Tonight's entrée was haddock. Your basic syracuse go to fish for Lent. The dinner brings a very good sized fried haddock fish. It's flaky, not overly battered and not at all greasy. About as good as you can get for fried haddock. The sides include coleslaw and seasoned french fries. You get a bunch of delicious seasoned french fries but a very small portion of coleslaw. The coleslaw was on the better tasty side. Not too tangy, not bland. The downside is you only get about four forks full. Rather disappointing based on the balance of things and the cost of the dinner.

The food was delicious, and so much to choose from! We had the Arancini balls to start, and they were delicious. We both tried the soups, and I adored the micro grilled cheese that topped the tomato bisque - SUCH a cute garnish! We recommend you get your steak "Jimmy style" because WOW, there is soooo much flavor! The shrimp scampi was also excellent. The large portions gave us some good leftovers. We had to finish with cannolis to-go, and we were so happy we did. Our server was very attentive, even as the place was filling up on a holiday evening! We can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.

A Must-Visit in Syracuse!…read more Absolutely loved Salt City Market! I went with a few friends, and we all got something different, which made it such a fun experience. It's a food hall with a variety of stalls offering cuisines from all over the world, so there's truly something for everyone. I went with the Ethiopian food and also picked up a few snacks from the market inside. Beyond the food, I loved the overall atmosphere. There's a community room, plenty of welcoming shared space, and just really great vibes throughout. Even the outdoor area was lovely, especially with the fire pit going on a chilly night! Such a cool, vibrant place to eat, explore different cuisines, and hang out with friends. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're in Syracuse!

The wine and bourbon tastings were on separate floors. There was also a BBQ sauce vendor and charcuterie tables spread throughout. I have appreciated some other vendors being present in the past but were not this year (i.e. chocolate vendors). In all, an afternoon well spent and being that it was held from 4p-7p there was still time to venture out for dinner after.

The entire menu sounded delicious and it was difficult to decide what I actually wanted. I ordered the soup of the day which was not overly salty but packed with flavor. I opted for the burger and fries. The burger was cooked so well and so delicious that I had to pay compliments to the chef. Every bite was juicy and mouthwatering. Fries were expertly seasoned. Even the pickle on the side packed a nice punch and crunch. The service was top tier. Our waitress was attentive, made sure we had everything we needed including our to go order and we were very pleased. This might be the gem of Syracuse!

Hotel decor was pretty spectacular, until you got up close and realized that much of the intricate scrollwork was not wood, but resin replacements molded on the few remaining wooden pieces left from the late 19th century. We had a sleeping room directly across the street from a huge, brilliantly illuminated museum sign that flashed all night long. The blackout curtains weren't. We tried one of the restaurants on the ground floor of the hotel, which was adequate but expensive. From that point on, we ate elsewhere, including at the fabulous restaurant and small business incubator across the street, and the wonderful Chinese restaurant about two miles away that also happened to serve dim sum. We were shipped two large packages while there, and the front desk staff was incredibly helpful in locating and providing those packages to us. Later, it came time for me to send out some parcels from those packages for folks who were no-shows at our conference, and once again, the front desk staff were incredibly helpful in providing some packing materials and boxes from their Receiving department for my use. As part of a larger conference, our small group had the use of one of the ground floor meeting rooms for an hour early on a Saturday morning. The hotel staff was very helpful in allowing us in an hour or so before our meeting was to begin to permit us to set up for our session.
