Syracuse Jazz Masters Dave Solazzo and Bill Horrace played a few sets in the courtyard near Lemon Grass + Bistro Elefant on Friday night.
Jack Brown, keeping it real (cool)
Hollywood has Jack Black; Syracuse has Jack Brown (of Sophistafunk). Black is known for his fluffy comedic persona; meanwhile Brown is known as a vigorous MC who dons stylish pork pie hats on stage. Last weekend, Brown mixed up his fashion ensemble by rocking a pair of classic NIKE dunks (in Syracuse Orange, of course).

Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin visited with George Kilpatrick at the Jamerican Diner this evening.
New Inspiration for the Nation’s George Kilpatrick held a “Power Schmooze” event this evening at the Jamerican Diner, located at 415 East Washington Street. The guests were treated to home-made Jamaican fruit punch and samples of sweet cheese bread and savory jerk chicken.
The cozy spot on the edge of downtown maybe one of the best kept gastronomic secrets along the Connective Corridor. If you are planning a foodie tour of center city, this place would be a great place to kick it off.

Free Zumba Class, Wednesdays during the lunch hour (Clinton Square)
How’s this for a lunch date.
Metro Fitness, under the direction of Randy Sabourin, has partnered with the City to offer free Zumba classes every Wednesday this summer (from 12:15 to 12:45) in Clinton Square. Sabourin has been a personal fitness instructor downtown for about 20 years. He hopes the Zumba class and partnership will help get Central New York residents, especially those living and working downtown, in better shape.
The Metro Fitness club is located in Salina Place a few blocks from Clinton Square.
Zumba Instructor Lynn Underwood sets the pace.
Despite serious humidity and hazy sun, men, women and children decided to sweat and dance their way thru lunch.
According to Sabourin, the class yesterday was one of the smaller classes so far (more than a dozen participants). The classes began last month and will run thru Labor Day.
