utica restaurants

If you've been to The Tailor & The Cook in Utica's historic Bagg's Square then you know how serious they take their food and their farm to table style. Now the rest of the Country does too.

Over the past year Utica has seen quite a few new restaurants open up shop. We're taking a look back at all the tasty goodness that arrived in Central New York in 2016.

If you love great seafood and oysters, then you will love the new Ocean Blue Restaurant and Oyster Bar. I'm sure you have seen the billboards somewhere around town saying things like "Raising the Bar, Literally" or "Elevation: 306 Feet Above Sea Level." The clever ads are to promote the rooftop experience you'll get with this restaurant atop Utica's Landmarc Building.

Masahiro Tanaka just signed a contract to play for The New York Yankees that pays him a salary of $155 Million for 7 years. Tananka is from Japan and is already projected to be one of the best pitchers in baseball this year. With that big of a salary, what does one do with it? That got me thinking, what could I buy in Utica for $155 Million?
