A grocery store in downtown Syracuse is closed temporarily as a new movie continues filming in the area.
The Syracuse Cooperative Market announced on Facebook that it is closed for most of the day Monday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at its location inside the Salt City Market at 484 S. Salina St., across the street from the Marriott Syracuse Downtown (Hotel Syracuse). The full-service grocer is expected to reopen Monday from 4-9 p.m. and resume regular hours Tuesday.

Hope Cafe’s owner Matthew Cullipher spent five years in Peru before returning to the Syracuse area and opening the cafe in Liverpool in 2017. The cafe’s cuisine is a fusion of American, Italian and Peruvian food, with its menu including caprese arepas and the chicharron “sanguich,” a combination of Peruvian meats and sauces on Italian bread.
When you enter the Liverpool cafe, there are organic and fair trade coffee bags on standby, with whole-leaf Japanese tea and Argentinian mate available, too. Don’t expect to break the bank at Hope Cafe the menu is relatively inexpensive because of the low overhead costs that come with having a staff of volunteers.

A full service grocery store now joins the growing list of places to eat or buy food downtown. The Syracuse Cooperative Market cut the ribbon to mark its official opening in the Salt City Market building on the southern end of downtown. Coop Manager Jeremy DeChario thinks the market will serve a particular niche, even among the many eateries and places to drink downtown.
“Up to this point it wasn’t a true walkable community because there wasn t a grocery store that had fresh foods,” DeChario said. “What we are really looking to do is really be a nexus for community the same way that the store on Kensington has been a nexus for community in the Westcott neighborhood for all these years.”
