16 Delicious Foods You'll Miss When You Leave Syracuse
Syracuse Food Tours

Moving to the Big Apple from Syracuse has been no easy transition (we all know the Orange are known for their excessive hometown pride.) The hardest part about transitioning downstate was adjusting to the lack of Upstate food (especially the scarcity of fresh apples), and let's not forget about the Long Island accents. New York City and Upstate New York may be in the same state, however, that's about all they have in common. Here, I've compiled a list of everything you should feast on before you leave Syracuse for any period longer than a couple of weeks.

1. Half Moon Cookies

Because nothing beats a good ol' Harrison Bakery half moon cookie.

2. Bomb Buffalo Wings

People who aren't from upstate New York think that Buffalo Wild Wings is good. Sigh.

3. Bruegger's

I would kill for a bagel right about now.

4. Insomnia Cookies

Because what could be better than warm, delicious cookies delivered to your doorstep in the middle of the night?

5. Apples

I actually went home for a weekend just for the Apple Fest. No one does apples like upstate NY does apples.

6. Salt Potatoes

Who wouldn't love a baby potato full of deliciousness?!

7. Dinosaur BBQ

We were on Food Network. I think this says it all.

8. Tully's

I can't even go near the chicken tenders they serve anywhere else. You could say I'm a little spoiled.

9. Byrne Dairy

No one does green milk like Byrne Dairy... or does green milk, period.

10. Utica Greens

Just look at that masterpiece.

11. Pastablities Stretch Bread and Hot Tomato Oil

Again, it was on the Food Network.

12. Chicken Riggies

Who would have known we only have this amazing creation in Upstate New York?

13. Varsity Pizza

A classic after a game at the Dome snack.

14. Gianelli Sausage

Don't forget the peppers and onions.


15. Gannons Isle

As summer approaches, fresh homemade hard ice cream sounds better and better.

Last, but not least...

16. Wegmans

THE HOLY GRAIL OF DELICIOUS FOOD. I WORSHIP YOU.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
