Food Scene
Lupo's S & S Char Pit
6 W State StA good place to pick up a Spiedie Sandwich or Salad without driving too far.
We cannot say enough about all of their food. It’s the damn sauces that makes it so good... or the handmade pasta... or “Half Priced Wine Wednesday”.

An elegant restaurant with deliciously authentic Italian food. Try any of the pizzas or order a Steak, Prime Rib, or Pork Chops "Milanese Style" and get unique blend of garlic, oregano, and oil sauce from the Cortese family.

The best place to pick up a Spiedie Sandwich. We’re not quite sure why or how they get their Spiedies so good, but it’s worth the drive. They also have great shoe-string fries and perogies.

Our first night there was Prom Night. We’ve made it back to this former firehouse to enjoy a bit of nostalgia and delicious food. They don’t offer the Steak Diane anymore, but if you ask Chef real nice and add a great story, he may be inclined to satisfy your palette.

A nice homey atmosphere where everyone seems like family. They have a great grilled pizza or try the Chicken Sofia.

Another great diner that has "history" on the Parkway. They say a famed mob boss conducted some shady meetings here for the regional syndicate. They also have a slow roasted beef sandwich that's hard to believe, too and they’re open really late.

Arts & Culture
First Friday's of every month. Yes, even the bitterly cold ones. Local shops on State street in Binghamton open their doors and invite you inside to sample a little bit of everything. Orazio Salati Studio is one of them and is host to many beautiful and talented artists. We might be a little biased, as Mr. Salti was my art instructor for many years.

Ross Park Zoo is a quieter alternative to the sporting venues in the area. Ross Park sits tucked into the northern face of Binghamton’s South Mountain. The zoo officially opened in 1875, and it is the fifth oldest zoological institution in the country. It has seen the best of times in the age of industrial revolution and the worst of times as the age of travel brought decreased revenue for the park. Ross Park has overcome overwhelming adversity in its nearly 150 years and undergone tremendous changes with the help of the Southern Tier Zoological Society. What was once asphalt, concrete and steel bars is now winding wooded paths with naturalistic exhibits housing over 100 different species.
