Good morning! From all of us at Syracuse New Times, we’d like to wish all of you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are celebrating with people (or animals) you love. Share your family time with these CNY events, if you’re scrambling for things to do.
Due to the holidays, you may presume there is not much going on. Well, there isn’t as much as other weekends, but there is still plenty to enjoy. Check out some comedy, warm up with some wine and chocolate, listen to some music, enjoy live sporting events and more.
Be sure to get some local shopping done for the upcoming holidays, enjoy local food and check out the tree lighting this Friday night. Remind those visitors or CNY returners there is much to appreciate.
