Read MoreAgenda 12/16: Joe Driscoll at King of Clubs
One of my favorite low-key bars in Armory Square, King of Clubs is hosting a concert featuring local rapper and multi-talented musician Joe Driscoll. He will perform his signature style of hip-hop, which borders on too many genres to even describe. One minute you think your hearing reggae, then it’s folk, but in the next minute it changes to full on hip-hop. I saw him for the first time last week at Empire Brewing Company and the bar was packed for his show.

Another installment of SyracuseFirst’s networking event known as Local Thirst is happening on Wednesday, December 14th at 5:30 p.m. I’ve covered it in the past, if you want to see what the last one was about.

Read MoreEmilio Sanchez: No Way Home at SUArt Galleries.
Because it’s a bit of a slow week event-wise in Syracuse I’ve decided to do another art related piece. Starting December 1st until March 18th, head to the SUArt Galleries to see the amazing, minimal work of Cuban artist Emilio Sanchez. He’s an extremely well-known artist who spent his career creating beautiful, vivid and occasionally abstract work featuring buildings, houses and other structures. The paintings are all similar in that they have strong, defined lines and a delightful color palette.
Read MoreTry Bisco’s Italian Salsa: An Excellent Local Product.
If you’re anything like me, you know that the condiments are often more important that the actual food. Being a lover of Mexican food and Asian cuisine of all origins, you begin to grow an affinity for the extra elements that make the meal something memorable. For me, whatever I’m eating is always a potential “condiment delivery system” and I’ll tell you what–the obsession for salsas, hot sauce and other various ways to liven up a snack grows stronger by the day.
Read MoreThe Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe at Syracuse Stage!
The colder it gets in Syracuse, the less likely you are to see me anywhere outdoors–it’s a sentiment I’m sure many other Syracusans are beginning to remember as the temperature drops. But never fear, I’ll make sure the similar minded always find something fun (and warm) to do. If you’re looking for a great theater production plan on seeing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe presented by Syracuse Stage. I saw it years ago as a kid and I’ll always remember the experience.
