207 East Jefferson Street
Syracuse
Update: Southern Flava has closed.   The food inside Southern Flava is as homemade as the sign outside, and it's that homemade aspect that keeps the customers coming. This downtown takeout restaurant has something for everyone. Owner Amie Noel brought a little bit of the Alabama sunshine with her when she came to Syracuse. “Ms. Amie,” as she is known to her regulars, has been warming...

110 Wolf Street
Syracuse
Stella’s Diner is a dying breed. This local favorite is one of the last genuine Syracuse joints. Hardworking waitresses, huge portions, cheap prices, and classic greasy diner food await your arrival. Just hope you can grab a table before the waiting line forms.   When to Go: Stella’s is always hopping so expect a short wait, but peak hours are Saturdays and Sundays until about 1 p.m....

719 East Genesee St
Syracuse
Strong Hearts Cafe offers earth-friendly comfort food that’s kind to animals and humans alike. The 100 percent vegan menu satisfies the strictest diet, without disappointing a hearty appetite or ravenous sweet tooth. Carnivores are likely to lick their plates clean before realizing what’s “missing” from their meal (animal products of any kind). The hip, relaxed atmosphere inspires fruitful...

720 University Ave.

320 South Clinton Street
Syracuse
Syracuse Suds Factory isn’t a typical downtown bar full of townies. Known as “Syracuse’s first brewery since 1962,” Syracuse Suds Factory brews its beers on the premises. You can watch them make the beer as you drink it by the pint. But the Suds Factory isn’t just a pub, as its food provides an awesome complement to any beverage selection. Whether your favorite team is playing at home or on...

320 South Clinton Street
Syracuse
Chicken wing and beer lovers, unite. That’s the implied motto at Syracuse Suds Factory, est. 1991, the first Syracuse microbrew pub to open after the last one shut down in the early ’60s. With a roll of paper towels at most tables and a variety of homemade beers, the Suds Factory invites you to kick back like the restaurant’s signature overall-wearing pint drinker that sits atop each of the...

316 Clinton Street
Syracuse
Gladiator paintings and ancient sculptures decorate the walls. The aroma of Greek dressing lingers in the air. Two men speak in low tones at the bar in Greek accents. Just one step into this small restaurant, and you instantly feel as if you’ve been transported to the Mediterranean. The restaurant is not in the bustling streets of Athens or the spectacular cliffs of Santorini, but instead is...

163 Marshall Street
Syracuse
UPDATE: Relocated to 163 Marshall Street, formerly Aladdin's Natural Eatery, in early 2011. When The Bleu Monkey Café opened on Marshall Street in 2005, its menu was a blend of both American and Asian influences.  But in the first week, faulty kitchen appliances that forced the restaurant to offer only sushi items changed the culinary vision of the small establishment.  American food...

165 Walton St.
Syracuse
In Armory Square, the calm quiet of the day transforms itself into a lively night atmosphere. The same can be said about the Blue Tusk. It’s a dimly lit space with bar stools and booths, seemingly limitless beer choices and refreshingly unique menu options. Early in the day, customers trickle in and out on their lunch hour, returning again to relax and enjoy their surroundings with an ice-cold...

The Italian flag flying high at full staff makes it clear that the folks at The Italian Chef are serious about serving authentic Italian food. The small eatery, nestled in a North Side neighborhood, stays true to its ethnic roots by offering an assortment of cultural dishes. From the thick calzones to the wide pizza pies, The Italian Chef offers customers a taste of Italy in Syracuse. On Tap: The...

304 E. Onondaga St.
Syracuse
The Mission Restaurant sits nestled at a bizarre four-way intersection in downtown Syracuse, as if ensconced on an urban island, commanding attention from around Columbus Circle. The Mission’s unorthodox surroundings are fitting. Its picturesque location highlights what is arguably the prettiest and most historic dining establishment in the city. The building does not resemble a restaurant, for...

524 Westcott Street
Syracuse
It’s not often that you can hang out inside a former indie movie theater, sip some Magic Hat, and listen to some grade-A music.  But, then again, The Westcott isn’t your typical, run-of-the-mill music and events venue.  It’s not your typical bar either.When to Go: Whenever there’s a band playing that you like—duh.  Ok, sounds obvious but, in all seriousness, the...

802 S. Crouse Avenue
Syracuse
Whether it's game day or Wednesday afternoon, it seems like there is someone always in Varsity chowing down on a slice of cheese pizza or a famous steak sandwich. Everything from chicken wings to salads, the Hill would not be the same without the famous Varsity restaurant. Game day for basketball or football is always a popular choice (especially on the recently rare occasion when the SU football...
