I'm from Syracuse, and I know of at least one other empegger in the area from a previous inquiry

I'll try my best to answer any questions you have about Syracuse, I've been here for my entire life so hopefully I can be useful. I'm also quite familiar with most of the areas around Syracuse.

I also second the Dinosaur BBQ, I grab takeout at least once a week, usually while my car is getting fixed at Walt's across the street.
