The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year.

This NYC Style Deli In Upstate New York Piles Pastrami Sandwiches As Big As Your Head

The first shop here started in a space barely wide enough to hold one of its giant sandwiches. That is the deli’s own joke, and honestly, it tells you everything about the priorities. The menu leans hard into New York deli tradition. Pastrami, corned beef, Reuben sandwiches, and full...

From tire shop to Syracuse dining landmark: Dinosaur Bar-B-Que building turns 100

There’s a story behind every Syracuse building. This is one of them. Some Syracuse places do not need a street number or name. A single word lets you know where to go. If someone told you to “meet them at the Dinosaur” any proper 315-er would know they’re talking about the famous barbecue joint at 246 West Willow St. Since its opening in 1988, it has become the most (choose your favorite over-used adjective here) beloved, iconic or legendary food spot in the city.
