Better Burger has many things going for it, @jacobpucci.bsky.social found. It has the burger technique down pat and its chicken tenders are top-notch. The growing pains aren’t over yet, but that means there’s still room to grow. www.thisiscny.com/living/2026/...

With panoramic views of one of Central New York’s greatest natural wonders, @jacobpucci.bsky.social notes that Yards Grille could probably serve frozen pizza and fast-food burgers and still fill half the seats. But he found the food is far from an afterthought. www.thisiscny.com/living/2026/...

Good food brings people together. Great neighborhood restaurants build community. In Central New York, Bailiwick Cafe and Market does both, says @jacobpucci.bsky.social. www.thisiscny.com/food/2026/03...

Spoon & Chopsticks has had a winding journey from its inception to now. But at its unconventional location inside a popular grocery store, the restaurant is serving some of the best Korean food in Syracuse. Read the review by @jacobpucci.bsky.social. www.thisiscny.com/living/2025/...

Syracuse doesn’t have a Chinatown, but if it did, it would be in the southeast quadrant of the city, an area home to several regional Chinese restaurants serving dishes likely found nowhere else in Central New York. 🥟 Among them is Old Chengdu Cafe. Dining review by @jacobpucci.bsky.social
