A restaurant on Syracuse’s north side has tried everything to stay afloat since last March. Ullys Mouity owns Taste of Africa on Danforth Street.
“During the pandemic, maybe like a month after it started, financially we were almost about ready to close down the business.” said Mouity.
“We really had to reinvent ourselves in order for us to continue. What we did is, on the same building we have the empty space that we ended up turning into take out.”
The pandemic hurt many local businesses, but Mouity says for him that was just the beginning.
