Went to see the Hans Zimmer orchestra performance. Got there an hour early, when doors opened. Had…read moreno problem getting on street parking right across the street at that time. Got snacks and beverages with no problem. The staff was helpful and welcoming. One snafu was purses. They have to be small. I used a tiny purse for feminine products and the older gentleman at the door was holding his small paper over it, trying to judge if it was small enough. It was right at the limit, but obviously not huge. He almost sent me back to the car with it. Another woman next to me was turned away with her larger purse. So be mindful to keep it small!

Went to see the Nutcracker Saturday night. Not knocking the show, it was great! Never a fan of this…read moreplace. Uncomfortable. Always a hassle. Always feel like there is a lack of staff at events. Literally a guy on his phone having a conversation during the show. An employee was near and I asked them to do something and they said "not my job" I'll have to go out to the lobby and find so and so. Crazy, I hate the not my job attitudes and will never give a good review when I experience this. Also, very poorly understaffed at the concessions, it shouldn't take 20 minutes to purchase water during a 15 minute intermission. If you can avoid this place, I recommend strongly considering it. Hopefully the service here can improve, and some upgrades wouldn't hurt either.

Not only did they have a live orchestra performing the music, but they had quality vocal mikes, lighting and a great sound system. Plus, the chairs are very comfortable. The playhouse performs year-round with a new show about every 2 months. Some are new, some are edgy, some are humorous, and some are classics.

I came to this facility after the 2017 Northeast Jazz and Wine Festival for the late night session…read more The facility was great. There was ample parking all around, there was free food left over from the VIP tent, cash bar, great seating (three rows of stadium seating for an intimate gathering) and some table seating in the front, and great performers. I was very excited to learn of the venue and hear some great live music to continue to great energy of the jazz festival. I would highly recommend checking out a show and supporting our local artists!

Taste of Syracuse remains a great Syracuse event. There's always been vendors who give tiny samples…read moreand others who give super generous ones, you just have to take your chances (or spy on social media or other people's orders) to decide whether the portion is worth it. My usual routine is to go right at opening and beat the larger crowds, but this year I went in the evening on Saturday. Some streets had WAAYYYY more congestion than others and it was hard to move -- made even more difficult by the occasional person who had obviously been visiting the beer tent and had trouble walking straight. That aside, most lines moved pretty quickly, and was still able to get like 7-10 samples in the hour or so I was there. Standouts for me this year were the mango cheesecake loompya at Oompa Loompyas and the crab rangoon at Vietnamese Noodle House, but there were lots of tasty things. This festival is always a great way to check out brand new businesses making their debut in the CNY food scene, along with hitting up an old favorite or two.

Taste of Syracuse still rings first place for me of best festivals in syracuse. As prices get…read morehigher and higher at other festivals, Taste still is low at $2 a sample. I really appreciate this, as it lets me taste multiple stands and then buy thier full sized meals or snacks for my favorites. This year I was really in love with the shrimp bruschetta from Bold Coast Lobster, but there were several fantastic options. Most lines move pretty quickly which I also appreciate. F.T. Chen bringing in authentic chinese street food was also a huge hit for my group, as we are all foodies loving to try other cultural foods. We got the grilled squid on a stick and were very happy about that. Always get there early, to keep lines smaller. Also, always remember sunscreen.. its something we always seem to forget and the sun can be pretty brutal!
