Armory Square, the city’s crown jewel, has recently added a new gem to its sparkling restaurant and bar scene. I visited Bittersweet, the clever concept bar at 121 W. Fayette Street, for the first time this past Friday since its December opening.

Looking for a fun night out with your friends after a busy week or a great spot to impress that special someone? The new and improved Wise Guys Comedy Club and Bistro is sure to be a riot! I had the opportunity to visit and see for myself this weekend. From the moment I stepped through the door, the day’s worries slip away as I got ready for some delicious food and a night full of rip-roaring laughter.

Travel Channel's Man Vs. Food visited Syracuse and had the pleasure of eating at our fabulous Dinosaur BBQ, Heids and took on the frittata challenge at Mother's Cupboard.

If you haven’t heard of Funk N’ Waffles, it’s understandable – the restaurant only opened a few years ago and is hidden beneath Chuck’s bar in the alleyway known as Campus Plaza off of S. Crouse Ave. However, one trip to this hip café and I know you’ll be back, not only for the waffles but the entertainment as well!

This recipe is a family favorite. My daughter can't get enough of it. I understand you're thinking taco soup, huh?! But trust me, you'll love it!! I recommend putting it in your slow-cooker while you go out and go sledding or ice skating..... it's a perfect "warm you up" dish. I have varied the recipe depending on who I am serving it to. My mom, prefers a mild spicy taste. My daughter, medium-mild, my brother- the hotter the better, and me- well, medium hot-ish.

Ingredients:
15. 5 ounce can of dark red kidney beans
15.5 ounce can of pink kidney beans
15.5 ounce can of corn

Having driven by Mama Nancy's along 690 West thousands of times I never once considered stopping in. What I discovered was that I was a fool for many, many years. On a recent Sunday morning, my family and I felt stuck with no place to go in the middle of the breakfast high noon hour.
When we got inside there was a 15 minute wait. The staff was bustling and everything was spotless. The food was dead-on. Fantastic pancakes, freshly prepared bacon and sausage, and eggs cooked to perfection. The price fell in line with most Syracuse eateries.
