Phenomenal BBQ. Stop by if you're swinging by Syracuse, but be careful because it gets very busy and as of 1/22 they are not taking reservations. If there's a wait time, stop by the donut shop around the corner for a snack and they will text you when you're table is ready.

"The Commons" is a stretch of a few blocks in the downtown area that's blocked off to cars. You'll find lots of restaurants and little local shops.
