Two new Trader Joe's stores are planned for New York, expanding the popular grocery chain's presence in the state. 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. The expansion comes as Trader Joe's continues to draw shoppers with its private-label products and competitively priced groceries. Where are the new Trader Joe's stores? According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area. Yonkers: 2482 Central Park Ave. The Camillus store, located just west of Syracuse in Onondaga County, will be about 9,000 square feet and become the area's second Trader Joe's. The existing Syracuse-area store is at 3422 Erie Blvd. E. in DeWitt. The Yonkers location will cover about 10,000 square feet. When will the new Trader Joe's stores open? Trader Joe's has not announced opening dates for either New York location. Spokeswoman Nakia Rohde said new stores typically open within three to six months of being announced.

Big Fellas opens second location in Cicero that’s just as good as the original (Dining Out Review)

Cicero, N.Y. — What happens when you squeeze two restaurants into a former Chinese takeout spot? It’s loud, a little chaotic, and tremendously delicious.

We Ranked The 10 Best Eastern European Restaurants In New York And Here Are The Results

One of the best plates of pierogi in New York comes out of a former church. I did not see that coming, and honestly, it feels a little perfect for food this comforting. Eastern European cooking has always felt a little sacred to me, like a family ritual. Recipes like these crossed oceans in someone’s memory, and they still taste like home to the families who carried them.

The 10 Remote Finger Lakes, New York Diners Most Travelers Never Find

Breakfast at one country diner can cost less than a fancy coffee, and I love that math. The doors open at 5 AM, so early birds can dig in before most alarms even ring. Getting to places like that usually means leaving the busy lakeside traffic far behind you. You’ll roll down quiet county roads between the lakes, where the towns seem to get smaller with every mile.
