Armory Square

Armory Square is a small neighborhood on the west side of Downtown Syracuse, New York.It began life as a busy commercial and industrial area just to the west of the central city.After World War II, Syracuse's central city became less and less populated as more housing and business facilities were built in the suburbs.These plans came to fruition during the 1990s, when new stores and restaurants opened, and several new buildings were constructed in a compatible style to the middle and late 1800s and early 1900s architecture dominating the district.Today, Armory Square is the home of some of Syracuse's better restaurants, at least two coffeehouses, a radio station company, dozens of small shops selling everything from band instruments to used records to women's clothing, several bars and nightclubs, Urban Outfitters, Armory Massage Therapy, a newly restored upscale hotel and two tattoo parlors.
