Sam's treated with dog treats and I am treated with coffee, and when she hosts her annual Spring Open Houses-- much more! A meatball bar, cheese, crackers, wine, exotic cocktail mixes, and more are there for customer's pickings as we shop around for all the spring things. I picked up a meaningful painting from an artist in Brooklyn! And, the first 10-20 people in receive a "goodie gift" on the way out. This year, it was a single tulip in a beautiful glass vase. - Loads of awesome items from local coffee + salts to jewelry, candles, home decor, stationery, and so much more! Every season offers new products. I look forward to the Christmas ornament selections every year! - Feeling a true sense of community, as neighbors. You'll love your visit, I'm confident, as much as I do every single time!

I have been shopping at this location since it first opened. Ever since the "rearranging" of this…read morestores lay out last year, this place has gone right down the tube. The worst part is the check out registers. Now, there is usually only one register open (instead of two or three), and a line of 6 or more customers waiting in line to pay for their merchandise. Most of the employees have been there for a long time, and all but one exibit the "I hate my job" vibe. The one that doesn't (yet) is the one that is the newest member of their staff. I used to shop there at least once a week, or at least every other week. Now I go a month or two between visits, and absolutely dread it when I have to check out.

For some reason this year, I did not receive their holiday booklet with special offers. That booklet always brings me into the store to buy other things beside ornaments. When I went into the store the week after Thanksgiving, I mentioned it to one of the ladies working there. Her response was; well, I don't know you should get it. She didn't appear to want to look into it, so I left. If I don't get the book in the mail, I am fortunate enough to have other options. I can't believe that Tracy's would want to lose a loyal customer. This lack of customer service is why the brick and mortar stores are disappearing.

Antiques West is an incredible Syracuse gem that anyone who'd enjoy wandering through a deceptively…read morehuge maze of antique, vintage, and secondhand items would be crazy to overlook! It's a one-story warehouse-style building that's been sectioned and compartmented off into smaller areas where the wares of dozens (I think---it seemed that diverse, anyway) of individual vendors are arranged. The layout of the actual interior is deceptive in that you eventually reach a point toward the back of the main building where you realize that a series of doorways (and with abundant signage indicating what you'll find through each one) actually leads to several additional huge spaces beyond, each with even more items to browse. One of these "back room" areas contained multiple racks filled with vintage clothing (both women's and men's) that had clearly been carefully curated via the vendor's high standards of overall quality/vintage condition, and the diverse range of clothing types (costumey vs. casual/everyday vs. formal/dressy, etc.) was particularly impressive. My visit to AW happened accidentally and with only about an hour remaining until they closed for the day, so I know I didn't get to see all the rooms, let alone all the items, that were available at that time. Even so, I managed to find a wide selection of things to purchase (art prints, vintage collectible calendars, 5+ articles of clothing, two beautiful lamps, and more!) and was definitely able to confirm AW as a 100% worthwhile stop to include on any list of must-visit Syracuse antique/vintage shops. And what's more, every single staff member and vendor that I encountered while I was shopping went absolutely above and beyond in helping me find my way around, learn more about the back stories of certain items I expressed interest in, and trying on the clothing items I'd picked out prior to deciding whether to buy them. They seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me as a first-time shopper, and in turn I got to know several of them on a first-name basis even in the short amount of time I had to spend that afternoon. All in all I have nothing but positive things to say about the entire experience I had at my first Antiques West visit, and I can't wait to go back again soon!
