Downtown Syracuse
For over a century, it was also the retail and entertainment center of Central New York, with large department stores such as Chappell's, The Addis Co., Flah's, E.W.Edwards, Woolworth's, Grant's, Lincoln Stores, The Mohican, David's, Kresge's, Clark Music Co., Dey Brothers, and Sibley's.By the mid-19th century, the construction of Erie Canal further transformed the busy intersection into the center of commerce and trade in Central New York.These efforts were supported by The National Endowment of the Arts and the State Office of Parks and Recreation, which provided grants to help the restoration continue.The theatre now boasts having prominent performers, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Celtic Women, bringing their acts to Syracuse and often features many popular Broadway shows.Today, downtown Syracuse is an economic center, with many insurance companies, banks, and law firms having a large presence there.Since the late 1980s, downtown Syracuse has also increasingly become a nightlife center, with many bars, clubs, restaurants, and pubs located in the Armory Square area.
