Downstate New York gets a lot of love, and upstate is left out in the cold.
That was the underlying message in a Monday conference call between Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and media outlets to discuss the upstate rehabilitative initiatives in his 2016 Executive Budget. [Read more…]
Destroyed by fire in 2002, Stefano’s Pizzeria & Restaurant on State Street, Carthage, has endured changing times. The business marked its 30 years in 2015 and now operates locations in Pulaski and Mexico. Watertown Daily Times file photo.
By Joleene Moody, NNY Business
Stefano’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in the village of Carthage is nothing short of iconic. Started in 1985 in a tiny building on State Street in the historic village, the pizzeria began quite small and unassuming, pumping out fresh Italian pies baked to perfection by Sicilian-born founder and owner, Stefano Magro. Thirty years later, the Northern New York pizzeria has grown by leaps and bounds and today is primarily managed and operated by his two adult children, Stefania and Salvatore “Savie.” [Read more…]

Traveling south on Interstate 81 from the north country to Syracuse, one can’t miss the F.X. Caprara car complex just south of the Pulaski exit. Less than two years old, the campus is the Caprara family’s largest dealership to date. It’s not their first family-owned dealership and it won’t be their last. Charlie Caprara, president of F.X. Caprara Chevrolet Buick and Ford in Pulaski is proud to add a shiny, new Honda franchise to the portfolio of auto dealerships. [Read more…]

It happened on a cold night last January. Four friends, talking over a bottle of Ménage a Trios’ Midnight Dark Red wine, decided they would throw caution to the wind and embark on a new adventure. That adventure would include wine, spirits, and the uncharted territory of owning a business. It was new ground for the two couples, but no matter. Gary Zehr, wife, Nina, Brian Mellis, and Elaine Smith have gumption, a powerful trait that moved them to start a business in Pulaski that was crisp and fresh and could thrive from the influx of tourism dollars in Oswego County. Within days of their decision, the foursome began to take some first steps toward realizing their vision. [Read more…]
