Downtown Syracuse restaurant to close permanently amid Covid: ‘It’s been a good long run’

Syracuse, N.Y. Another Central New York restaurant has announced it’s closing permanently amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
And the closing of this one, The Mission on Columbus Circle, brings a halt, at least for now, to the restaurant career of one of the city’s most noted chef-owners, Steve Morrison.
Morrison opened the Mexican/Latin American restaurant at 304 E. Onondaga St., in 2000. He had spent years at other restaurants, including a decade at another downtown stalwart, Pastabilities. Among his culinary career highlights was contributing to the creation of Pasta’s famous Spicy Hot Tomato Oil.
