LOFO Cafe/Bistro: Inside Out
A few months ago I ventured into Armory Square to revisit Om Boys Juice Bar, only to find it had closed. New owners were onsite and explained their concept. I was skeptical and went for a smoothie.
Fast forward and (after numerous meals) LOFO, to me, may be the most underrated place in the city for flexitarian food. Reminds me of a cross between a place in NYC that was called Pump and Juicy Lucy’s in San Francisco.
LOFO is definitely a great addition to Syracuse dining. I’m glad I stumbled upon it.

CNS senior Kierrah Titus took her skills to the CFAC stage during the Cabaret & Conversation program last week. Titus sang a Beyonce song.
A rejuvenated Paul Robeson Performing Arts Company (PRPAC) took theater back to its roots when they collaborated with high school students and parents in the area to produce “Cabaret & Conversation” at The Community Folk Art Gallery (CFAC) last week. The show was developed with PRPAC following a controversy at CNS High when the school cast an all-white ensemble for “The Wiz.”
In the clip above, Dionna Owens and Justin Tanksley interpreted a duet by Rhianna and Mikkey Ekko.
