Yes...he has quite the background. I met a family member of his just before they opened and learned quite a bit about him. That is why we checked it out. It also seems that they were extremely creative during the pandemic based on their Instagram page.

Not development related, but I was in Syracuse this weekend for Mother's Day. It was my wife's first Mother's Day, and all that she wanted to do was go out for a nice dinner - something that we haven't done since pre-pandemic. I ended up making reservations at Saint Urban Wine Bar and it was absolutely fantastic.

I enjoy unique dining experiences, and there is nothing else like it in the Syracuse area. I'd definitely recommend it, but be prepared to get dinged in the wallet a bit. It was worth it though, especially for a special occasion. As an added bonus, Jim and Juli Boeheim showed up at around 9 p.m. for dinner and sat at the table next to us. I was proud of my wife for recognizing them as soon as they walked in the door, since although she indulges in my love of SU athletics, she's not always the most into it.

9:00 p.m. dinner? On a Sunday? You and the Boeheims are some fancy big-city people.

It was on Saturday. And 9 p.m. is when our dinner was wrapping up, but the Boeheims were just getting started. 76 years young.

The rent is insane for that space. I'll never understand some of these moron landlords downtown that sit on empty commercial/retail space because of their outlandish rent demands. It's why the spot where Margaritas is sat vacant for so long.

You can blame the brokers, too. They are the ones trying to set an artificially high market rates. It seems that home prices are "trying" to go up by about $100,000 now that the pandemic seems over. Wait until the late fall and you'll get a much more reasonable price. It's not like anybody is making more money since the pandemic, except for Jeff Bezos.

You misspelled Marty Zero.

Casual dress?

 

[OttoMets]

Casual dress?

Yeah, the food's impeccable but the atmosphere is unpretentious, not a dressy vibe.

 

[shandeezy7]

Casual dress?

Yup, like OttoMets said, it’s a pretty laid back vibe. I had jeans and a sweater on. Most others were dressed similarly.

No Darwin! Sad.

I would have went with Darwin's over Brooklyn Pickle. I need to get to the Fair Deli, that place looks amazing, Fair Deli Craft Beer

I forgot Green Hills, that was on the list too

Fair Deli is awesome. Problem is it is only open during business hours. Forget stopping there for dinner.

Uh oh...a sub sandwich article. This is CuseTroop 's bat signal! He is a true connoisseur.

Fair Deli used to be great, pre-COVID. Outstanding imported beer selection. Owner really suffered though, not sure they will reopen.

DiBella's on Bridge Street MUST be on there. Oswego Sub Shop may be a bit too far away, but they are better than many on the Top 10 list, too.

Negative story about Fair Deli. Byrne Dairy is targeting him to put him out of business. They put the one right across from Crucible, and then they put another one right across the street from him about a mile up the road.

I caught him one night as he was about to close, and used to bring him my business whenever I was in the area at lunchtime. I mentioned "screw those guys from Byrne Dairy; I'm still coming here". He said something like "thanks for supporting us. Let me make you something special - an imported prosciutto sub". He charged me $11 or 12.

This was at the beginning of COVID, right before literally everyone shut down. I thanked him, got out to my car, and it was just a generic ham sub with some cheap ham, not even good stuff, lettuce and mayo.

So, he figured, let me hustle a few extra bucks off this guy because I don't when I'll be open next.

I've never gone back. Terrible way to treat a professed fan who drove distance to come there specifically to give him business.

Glad he made it. Too bad he treated me like a dick. I'll never go back.

Entirely fair. I’d have been very angry.

Local spots dont live long treating well meaning customers like that. Not in CNY
