Twelve years ago, Adam Sudmann sat in his Brooklyn apartment sketching out models for a multinational food hall. And on Friday, those sketches will come to fruition in downtown Syracuse.
Salt City Market, at 484 South Salina Street, is set to open at 11 a.m. on Friday and features food vendors with cuisines from around the world. The market was designed to model various food halls across the country and has 11 different food vendors.
Sudmann said that the market wouldn’t have been created without the Allyn Family Foundation. The foundation created the Syracuse Urban Partnership for projects like Salt City Market, and about a quarter of the foundation’s endowment went to the project.

Hot cocoa bombs: Sweet new craze sweeps through Central New York
Updated Dec 19, 2020;
How about a cocoa bomb?
“It’s so much more fun, and more fun for the kids,” said Duyen Nguyen, a baker who is preparing to to open a sweets shop called the Cake Bar at the Salt City Market in downtown Syracuse in early 2021.
There’s a good reason kids (and many adults) love the cocoa bomb, which has become one of the hottest food trends in the nation this holiday season. Eater.com reported this week they’ve “exploded on TikTok.”
It’s a hard shell of chocolate, wrapped around ingredients like cocoa powder, peppermint candy, marshmallows, berries and/or sprinkles. They’re typically decorated in playful or festive fashion.
After this extended season of partial solitude, it s interesting to think about what long-term effects it may have on our tolerance for loud, crowded and tight spaces. After this passes, will it bother us if the next table is in our elbow space? Will large family gatherings roar back, or will we stretch out this imposed distance into a regular routine? Perhaps tolerances will have shifted. Probably not, though.
But a few things will never change, such as the comfort of baked goods and treats around the holidays, when, thankfully, calories don t count. And then there s an explosion of sparkling Christmas lights throughout a neighborhood; it just has a strange, happy effect on people.
