Local Swag
Wish you could broadcast your love of local businesses? Try a cap or hoodie from sausage kings Liehs & Steigerwald in Syracuse, T-shirts from Picasso’s Pastries and Cafe in Syracuse and The Piggery in Ithaca, or Ithaca Bakery metal water bottles. Or hit up the local wineries, distilleries and breweries, most of which have expansive gift shop selections from glassware to clothing to home interior items.
Dare we say that no locavore household is complete without deliveries of hot-off-the-presses copies of Edible Finger Lakes? $19.95 for a year subscription.
