I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the initial response to the 2024 Wandercuse Passport! I was already proud of its growth and the number of participating local businesses... But I'm even more proud to announce that TEN MORE BUSINESSES have joined the passport this week, bringing the grand total to 48 local businesses. All I can say is WOW. Cards have been ordered and they look a little different this year since I had to make room for triple the number of logos. They are available for pre-order and will be shipped at the end of next week. https://wandercuse.square.site/s/shop Let's welcome the following folks to the passport: @blown_away_balloons_syracuse @bysulibrand @flowerskateshop @freightyardbrewing @hartbrkrs @jawnsover @just_bros_vintage @laketownlove @mostsyracuse @stoutbeardbrewing They join these incredible businesses: @20.east [NEW!] @beekindsyracuse @bodymindsyracuse [NEW!] @branchingoutbottleshop @thecurdnerd_syr @eugeniasgeneralstore [NEW!] @floridellaboutique [NEW!] @foundthingsplantshop [NEW!] @funkytowncomics [NEW!] @goldenbeebookshop [NEW!] @hgreysupplyco @just_bros_vintage [Extra NEW!] @littlerays - Syracuse @museumofintrigue @parthenonbookssyr @rightmindsyracuse @sweetonchocolate @synple_est_2014 [NEW!] @travelinggnomediner [NEW!] @allthingsoz @bugbearbean @eriecanalmuseum_syracuse @eversonmuseum [NEW!] @hgreysupplyco @onondagahisassn @pawsitivitea.cny [NEW!] @ptgrts - Destiny USA @scholarsandchamps [NEW!] @shefancygrazingco [NEW!] @skanonhcenter @unpluggedgamingg [NEW!] @vanhasslerbrewing [NEW!] @willowrockbrew [NEW!] @cuppacandles [NEW!] @farshotcuse @eatsinbun [NEW!] @thestation603 @wittywicks [NEW!] As a reminder, 10% of the sale from each Wandercuse Passport will be donated to @afsp_centralny.

I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT - @pink IS COMING TO SYRACUSE! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Did I just drive to North Carolina and miss a major event at home to see her? Yes I did. Will I get tickets to see her less than a year later in Syracuse? You can darn well bet I will. P!nk has been one of my absolute favorite artists forever. And her concerts are bucket list worthy. Fun fact - did you know she is also part of the duo You + Me? We almost chose their song of the same name for our first dance at our wedding. THAT is how much I love @pink. Pink’s Summer Carnival tour comes to the @jmawireless dome on Sunday, October 6, 2024. And did I mention that she’s touring with @sherylcrow AND @thescriptofficial?! Second fun fact: I first saw The Script in concert 13 years ago when I lived in Australia 🇦🇺 Presale tickets are available beginning at 10am on Saturday, December 9. Password is CREW Thanks to @livenationcny for bringing one of my favorite artists to Syracuse! . . #pink #pinksummercarnival #summercarnivaltour #jmawirelessdome #livenation #livenationcny #pinkpinkpink #pinkconcert #syracuse #syracuseny #bucketlistconcert #concert #spectrumcenter #charlotte #charlottenc

Another successful brewfest in the books! Some of this year’s highlights included… 🍻 Attending Fred Matt’s FREDtalk and winning a signed @saranacbrewery original beer ball poster 🍻 Meeting up with so many fellow friends from the craft beer community 🍻 Trying some new delicious beers! 🍺 Elixirs of Alchemy: Calcination Stout from @undergroundbeerlab x @awwander 🍺 The Golden Peel Hefeweizen from @webe_brewing_company 🍺 Bonzai Blonde from @middleagesbrewing 🍺 Sorry I Like To Party IPA from @growbrewingco . . #nyscraftbeer #syracuse #syracuseny #brewfest #beerfest #landmarktheatre #craftbeercommunity #thinknydrinkny #newyorkbeer #newyorkstate #cameradrinksfirst #foodblogger #beerblogger #craftbeer #craftbeergirl #craftbeergirls #girlswholikebeer #girlswhodrinkbeer #iloveny #tasteny #drinkstagram #beerstagram #cnybeerweek

It’s brewfest day! Find me at the @nyscraftbeer brewfest at the @syrlandmark and get a FREE Wandercuse passport! I’ve got three to give away, so first three folks win! I’ll be roaming around the theater, sampling from the 55+ NYS breweries - and then heading to the FREDtalk with Fred Matt from @saranacbrewery 🍻 . . #nyscraftbeer #syracuse #syracuseny #brewfest #beerfest #landmarktheatre #craftbeercommunity #thinknydrinkny #newyorkbeer #newyorkstate #cameradrinksfirst #foodblogger #beerblogger #craftbeer #craftbeergirl #craftbeergirls #girlswholikebeer #girlswhodrinkbeer #iloveny #tasteny #drinkstagram #beerstagram #cnybeerweek

If I could eat hot pot for dinner every night, I would be a VERY happy girl. The newest @kpotbbqandhotpot location opened on Erie Blvd in Syracuse this week and I did not hesitate to check it out! It’s buffet style and for $30.99 you can do all-you-can-eat Korean Barbecue OR hot pot - but your whole table has to agree on the style. So just pay the extra $5 per person and try both, it’s worth it. Have you been to a K-Pot before?! What do you think? . . #korean #koreanfood #koreanbbq #koreanbarbecue #hotpot #koreanhotpot #syracuse #syracuseny #syracuseeats #syracusefood #upstate #upstateny #upstatenewyork #thisisupstate #upstatefood #grandopening #foodcritic #foodreview #restaurantreview

One of my favorite brewfests is happening this weekend, rounding out the end of @cnybeerweek 🍻 You guessed it - it’s time for the annual @nyscraftbeer festival at the @syrlandmark! Why is it one of the best? Because all of the pourers are representatives from the 55+ breweries - owners, brewers, bartenders. That means they are passionate and educated about their beer. It’s an incredible time to meet the people who produce your favorite local beers and to network in the craft beer community - all while sampling some delicious brews of course. Not to mention being surrounded by the absolute beauty that is the historic Landmark Theatre. But wait! There’s more 🍻 This year, Fred Matt from @saranacbrewery will be leading a “FREDtalk” and you can purchase a ticket to join in the conversation and share a beer with him 🍻 If you are heading to the brewfest, make sure to say hello! . . #nyscraftbeer #syracuse #syracuseny #brewfest #beerfest #landmarktheatre #craftbeercommunity #thinknydrinkny #newyorkbeer #newyorkstate #cameradrinksfirst #foodblogger #beerblogger #craftbeer #craftbeergirl #craftbeergirls #girlswholikebeer #girlswhodrinkbeer #iloveny #tasteny #drinkstagram #beerstagram #cnybeerweek

Recently my hubby and I went back to one of our favorite breweries in the Catskills - @tinbarnbrewing. We’d been once before and were so excited to go back because we love everything about the place. The beer is fantastic, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is gorgeous, and the staff are incredible. Truly it’s an all-around amazing experience each time we go. If you’re looking for breweries in the Catskills/Hudson Valley, this is a must to add to your list. Hubs recommends their sour beers, and I can’t get enough of their freshly made smash burgers and french fries. When the weather is nice, sit out on the back deck and enjoy the mountain views with your beer 🍻 ⛰️ Even better, the main brewer is a woman 👏🏼 Plus, they have a new, second location in Dundee! @tinbarnflx . . #girlswholovebeer #femalebrewer #womensupportingwomen #pinkboots #pinkbootscny #pinkbootssociety #womenincraftbeer #craftbeergirl #craftbeergirls #nyscraftbeer #newyorkbeer #thinknydrinkny #catskills #catskill #catskillsny #hudsonvalley #upstate #upstateny #craftbeer #beerstagram #beerblogger #orangecounty
