If that kind of comforting cuisine is your thing, welcome to Syracuse.
Five new southern/soul food restaurants or dining spots have opened in and around Syracuse since last fall. That appears to be nearly double the number of soul food-oriented places that had been open in the area.
All five opened since November. They join older places like Chi’Soul on South Salina Street, Soulfood Extension on Midland Avenue and Creole Soul in DeWitt. (There are others, like Joe’s to Go on West Onondaga Street, that combine some southern/soul cuisine with other dishes). All are operated by African-American entrepreneurs.

Syracuse, N.Y. Pulaski’s HealthWay Family of Brands has donated air purifiers to 18 small Central New York businesses, including 16 in Syracuse, to protect against the coronavirus.
The donated units are from HealthWay’s Intellipure line, a medical-grade air purification system that captures and removes viral and bacterial particles from the air.
HealthWay president Vinny Lobdell said the machines can be placed on the floor or hung on a wall, and are effective at removing particles containing the coronavirus.
Southern Californian Bakery gives Filipino favorites a vegan twist
Localish
LOS ANGELES Kym Estrada is sharing her culture through food - with a twist. I m Filpina and I ve been vegan for 10 years, Estrada said. I basically started this out because like there was nothing like it. I miss my culture and I miss eating foods I grew up eating.
Estrada has been creating plant-based Filipinx baked goods since 2016. This one-woman moved her bakery from Brooklyn to Long Beach in October 2019. There s a growing number of vegans in the Filipino community, so I just want them to have those options as well, Estrada said.
