The approximately 2000 sq ft building, which was formerly Kathy’s Country Kitchen, has been completely refurbished on the inside and now looks like the best salon in any city. The warmly painted walls are offset by tasteful, yet eclectic, furnishings and a few flickering candles add to the natural lighting. Around the main floor of the salon, sleekly organized stations for each stylist jut out and the high-gloss wood floors are swept frequently...

Out of this world
Melissa Renahan 03/02/09
Venus Salon and Day Spa could be considered a diamond in the rough. The one-story, white structure is not impressive at first glance. Furthermore, it blends in with the snow and seems unlikely as a place to get pampered and pretty. Then you walk inside and your perspective immediately changes.

Mixed results at the Euclid
Betty Wiese 03/02/09
It was a chilly Tuesday evening, but we were warmly greeted at the Euclid Restaurant on Route 31 in Clay. The hostess led us to a table set for four, but never removed the extra services. The Euclid has been a staple of the Clay dining scene for a very long time, but as we had not been there for over a decade, it was new to us. The décor is simple with wood paneled walls and some decorations. The bar, which occupies an open room adjacent to the restaurant, was almost empty. A party was being held in the private upstairs room, and we watched as platters were carried up the narrow stairs.
An almost overwhelmingly large menu offers everything from pizza ($10-14) and sandwiches ($4.50-8), to Italian dinners ($10-16) and steaks and chops ($9-20)...

Out to Eat: Nesticos
Betty and Richard Wiese 03/30/09
A pleasant Saturday night found us at Nestico’s on Route 11 in North Syracuse. Reservations for less than five are not available, but several empty parking spaces made us confident that we would be seated without a wait. We waited a few minutes for a booth, but we could have had immediate seating at a table. Nicely decorated with shades of tan and peach and large paintings by a local artist, Nestico’s is a welcoming, comfortable place with a fireplace often roaring. Tables are set with attractive plastic tablecloths and cloth napkins. The service is friendly and helpful; Julie, the owner, constantly roams the floor.
We began with a bottle of the house red, Foxhorn California Merlot, for a very reasonable $17. It was a light red merlot lacking body, but still quite pleasant...
