This website was created over the course of seven years for the Spanish classes of Lonnie Chu in Syracuse, New York.
The
best
way to use this site is to
devote about an hour, early in the
course
you're taking or teaching, to skimming through the page under each
link.
Drill a little deeper into the links on the pages that you find most
interesting.

Want to eat well? Dave Chu, in his Assonance blog, has a great list of the small, often ethnic restaurants and grocery stores that you won't find at the mall.
Want great coffee? There are a few roasters in Syracuse, but so far, in my humble opinion, none is better than Cafe Kubal in Eastwood. (See articles.) Take 690 to Midler Ave. going north. At the third light, turn right on James, go about four blocks and pull into the Eastwood Plaza.
Looking for independent book stores? The Eastwood neighborhood has two of 'em! Within blocks of an independent theater showing movies as well as local and national-level shows.
Virtual Tourist has a nice bunch of tips on what to do in Syracuse.
