Before you hit up all the famous food & cultural spots around Syracuse, you'll need to take care of some essentials first. Things such groceries and the like. Here's a list of the best places to go.
Bobby Lee: Make this your first stop for everything. Cleaning supplies, office supplies, kitchen utensils, etc. You can stock up on everything for cheap here. Biggest Dollar Tree selection in town.
Bobby Lee: Wegmans is consistantly rated the best grocery store in the nation and this is its best store in Syracuse. Just don't go sunday nights (restocking) or weekday evenings (huge rush).
Bobby Lee: Need stuff in bulk? Until Costco opens up in late 2013/early 2014, this is the best warehouse club in town. Don't bother with BJ's. They're over-priced w/ poor selection.
Bobby Lee: Oftentimes the cheapest place in town to buy gas. However, the 93 octane gas here does not have as much power/oomph as Sunoco's 93 octane gas. Must decide between saving money and engine performance.
Bobby Lee: If you prefer Walmart over Target (seriously?), this is *the* Walmart to go to. The largest in town unless you want to make the 45min drive south to Cortland.
Bobby Lee: It's absolutely critical that you stop here and buy some long underwear before the winter sets in. I recommend the base layer 3.0 for Syracuse winters.
Bobby Lee: Until you find a local mechanic, Goodyear Auto Service is your best auto care chain bet in 'Cuse. They do it all (almost) at an OK price w/ no fuss. This location is the friendliest of 'em all.
Bobby Lee: Best local mechanic I've used so far. Tomlin (front desk receptionist) is one of the friendliest people ever. OK priced, fast-ish turn around, good service.
Bobby Lee: Best car wash in town to get winter grime off, but always a line. Get the $16 Super Kiss Plus wash. Sign up on e-mail list for coupons. Go weekdays midday for most thorough wash. Weekends are rushed.
