Reason #196,287,375 we love Syracuse

We’re constantly finding cool things around Syracuse, and we love to see exciting new things happening in the area. Lots of independent businesses are springing up, there’s a great push to buy local products, and some new public art displays are just a few of the things we’re diggin’ these days.

So, needless to say, we were beyond psyched to find out that Syracuse First – a local nonprofit dedicated to getting the people of Syracuse to think, buy & be local by supporting independent businesses within the community – did a great feature on us here at Boxcar Press! Visit the Syracuse First Blog to see the full profile, and check out their website to find other great businesses around here.

We thought we’d share some of our favorite Syracuse First businesses – if you’re in the area, check them out!

  • Freedom of Espresso: A great coffee shop – they supply the coffee that keeps our company moving!
  • Farmshed CNY – A great app for your phone that puts local CNY food producers at your fingertips.
  • Friends of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo – The zoo is a popular hangout for the Boxcar babies!
  • Lilipad Creations – A line of funky handmade bags (and one of our neighbors in the Delavan Center!)
  • Syracuse Soapworks – Fantastic soaps made just down the street.

Big thanks again to Syracuse First for the awesome feature!
