I decided to try the State St sandwich. It was so fresh and delicious. I can tell they put a lot of care into their preparation. You can call to order ahead if you're on a time crunch. I will definitely be back!

The fresh baked bread they serve their sandwiches on is AMAZING! It had been a while since I last visited Thanos, but I can assure you I will never stay away this long again. Phenomenal!!!!

The Tasting Room is a bar/restaurant that is owned by Epicuse. My friend and I went there Tuesday…read morenight for their Downtown Dining Week special. This was a first visit for both of us. We walked in at 5pm on a Tuesday and had our choice of tables. We picked a small table next to the wall to be further away from the chill of the door opening. We were greated immediately by the sweet bartender who was also taling care of the tables at that point. At the table there was a carafe of water and glasses. I can't tell you how much I appreciate when restaurants do this. I drink a lot of water and it's nice to have it available. The ambiance of the room was nice. Candle on the table, string lights throughout, and local artwork on the walls that feature a new collection each month. Our server/bartender got our drink order right away. I had a glass of wine and my friend ordered one of their cocktails that she said was amazing. For the dining week special we each got an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $30. Appetizers Goat Cheese with Roasted Beets. Overall delicious. The goat cheese was very overpowering though so it may benefit from more beets, maybe an addition of a beet sauce, and or some sort of cracker or pita. Cheese Tasting Plate. Delicious. Could use more that 3 crackers. Best bleu cheese I've ever had. It literally just melted in your mouth. The jam that came on the plate was fantastic and unusual. Some sort of bacon jam that was really smoky. My friend liked it so much she tracked it down next door in Epicuse to purchase it. Entree We both ordered the Chicken and Jambalaya. I'm not a person who ever orders chicken but I really wanted the jambalaya. Lol. Both were fantastic. I do not like Chicken with skin usually but the skin was so fantastically crispy, the chicken was tender, and that jambalaya was amazing. Perfect amount of heat and so much flavor. Dessert They served us the Dessert Flight and it was stunning. Cannoli, Tirimisu, and Chocolate Pot de Crème. It was fantastic and the perfect ending to a great meal. Throughout the entire meal many staff checked on us. The service was outstanding. As we were finishing it was definitely filling up for their Tuesday Trivia night which starts at 7. Before leaving be sure and check out Epicuse, the attached store, for many local foods and treats as well as an assortment of wine and liquor. They also have heat and go meals available for purchase.

They always have what I need, are so warm, and everything is such a good price. It's well worth the drive from Manlius to stock up on spices, high-quality meat, and our favorites like cardamom coffee, rose water, and pickled veggies. My kids love looking over the juices and picking something special. Pomegranate or mango juice or a special tea. I visit Montreal often but when I can't get up there in the winter, I know they always have the Afghanny "flat" bread from Quebec that we love to throw in the oven like a baguette and eat it with sheep cheese and tomatoes and parsley.

An import market with a huge variety of products, from decorations, to cookware, to clothes, to snacks and food. My favorite part was the aisles of ornate plates and tea cups.

When asked if we wanted the box open or closed the answer is left open. They filled it to the top and immediately the family dug into the freshly made and still warm treat. You can also get drinks and roasted nuts as well. Something we can try on our next venture here. I definitely recommend and let your nose show you the way when you arrive at the mall.

Owner of "Sam's on Wolf" Sam Deb said since he started serving up his unique New York City…read morebodega-style sandwiches like the chopped cheese and posting video's on TikTok, they've gone viral and customers have been flocking to his business from across the state. In addition to the Chopped Cheese, Deb serves handmade "Dubai Chocolate" with his special pistachio filling - another recent internet sensation. But it's the unique combination of salty and sweet sandwiches that Deb said customers can't get enough of, including their Oreo burger - a double patty cheeseburger with oreos and a top bun that has white chocolate and crushed Oreos on top. So for anyone who uses TikTok, this was clearly influenced by Ocky's bodega videos, but in my opinion, it was smart to do something like this here. I've seen the videos and as soon as I saw this place start popping up on CNY FB food groups, I knew I had to try it. When you walk in, it's been nicely remodeled inside. It's a basic convenience store for the most part, but there's a hot bar with several offerings, and if you look at the menu, you're not gonna see the crazy creations - you're gonna see normal offerings like chopped cheese, ribs, burgers, etc. Sam, the owner, is almost always there, even making a lot of the food himself, and told me whatever I saw online or that I could create in my head, they could make it for us. Very nice guy. My wife and I both got a chopped cheese, but I asked for mine on a Jamaican beef patty, while my wife asked for hers on a honey bun, and we both asked for mozzarella sticks in the middle. We also got a side of potato wedges. 2 sandwiches that came with fries (we didn't realize they came with fries or wouldn't have gotten wedges), side of wedges and 2 drinks came to about $40. We got home and dug in. Both were delicious. My wife is a huge sweet/salty fan, so she loved the sweet honey bun against the salty mozz sticks and beef, although the honey bun definitely had softened from the fillings. Wedges were great, fries were fine. Food fed both of us twice as well. This is NOT a place to get a healthy meal, but if you're down for something delicious, outta the box and really only limited to your convenience store imagination, definitely give them a try.

The Dubai chocolate bars are decorated differently but all the same ingredients... milk chocolate filled with pistachio and kataifi (crispy phylo dough shreds). It was delicious!
