Located beneath Wildflowers Armory, I've heard it described as an "underground shopping speakeasy."…read moreThis is a really unique retail ecosystem composed of compact shops. 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!

We visited Strada Mia for a special New Year's Eve dinner, and we had an outstanding experience…read more They had delightful seasonal cocktails - we tried the spiked hot chocolate and the Christmas Margarita. 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.

Best part of meal was bread and dipping oil ( which was outstanding) Entrees were decent leaning toward lackluster. Chicken riggies, chicken parm, salmon. Menu is smaller than what is posted on line. Was there during SU grad weekend and it's possible the place was just really busy and kitchen on overload. If you are here for an SU event it's got good off street parking. Not a bad option but not a great option.

I'm not saying the two things are connected, but you never really know. All joking aside, Habiba's Ethiopian Kitchen was incredible, and the Jamaican place next door made a mean meat pie.

We were at the "Adult Scholastic Book Fair" (which was honestly pretty lame, though the people were mostly nice), and she started experiencing pain during lunch.

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.

Absolutely recommended -- this restaurant is one of my best memories in Syracuse. During my seven…read moreyears here, I've been there countless times, and their French onion soup is truly the best. Whenever I felt exhausted or too drained by the cold weather to do anything, I would think of that soup. They change their menu often, and some of my favorites were last summer's salmon with zucchini and a white-wine risotto from a few years ago (I've forgotten what the main dish was, but I still remember the flavor). All the people were always nice and friendly. If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely come back.

Everything is cash or card or both so ask which one they take. The exhibit buildings are spacious and easy to walk around in. Depending on what day you go the music entertainment can be good. Food is ok nothing special to get excited about. They should hand out maps as you enter so you can get a feel for where things are to see it to find that favorite food or entertainment; their online maps are not very informative.

My only problem is the fact that they let people in the seats for the Chevy Court stage right when the fair opens, so naturally you'll get the entitled elderly people who want to sit down in the very front, and complain when you walk right up to the pit in front of them.

We arrived late around 11 p.m., and the front door was locked--which is understandable--but with the snowy, cold weather it did take a bit to get someone to let us in. We were upgraded to a king suite, which was a wonderful surprise. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the suite had a lovely sitting area. I also loved the historic photos lining the hallways showing the construction of the property--so much character and charm throughout. There's an Irish pub on the ground level that we didn't get a chance to try, but it looked lively and was open late. We enjoyed a nice breakfast the next morning at the on-site restaurant, and the lobby itself is absolutely stunning--ornate, elegant, and very well maintained. The M Club was also a great perk: spacious and well stocked with snacks and drinks. If I ever have a reason to be back in Syracuse, I would absolutely stay here again.
