Salt City Market

Syracuse, New York

Launched in January 2021, Salt City Market is a trip around the world, with cuisines from Burma, Iraq, Jamaica and more. But while the food is global, the focus is local. “We hope guests start to see what cool, talented, dynamic people live here and indulge in some well-deserved civic pride,” explains market manager Adam Sudmann. He recommends checking out the “world class” banh mi from Mamma Hai or the perpetually busy halal stall. (saltcitymarket.com)
