UNCOVERING UTICA'S GEMS - Clinton - Hamilton College

utica’s hidden gems
Although Hamilton students don’t often venture to Utica,
there are still plenty of great places to check out. If you
head in with an open mind and a sense of adventure, all
of these places are sure to be great for you.
That Place
216 Bleeker St.
Sick of Bundy parties That Place has it all: Gays, straights, DJ, pool, darts, karaoke on occasion, and of course dancing, dancing,
dancing.
Café Domenico
2011 Genesee St.
Need Coffee Procrastinate by Driving to Café Domenico and try out some new vibes and some new brew. With cozy chairs and a
diverse crowd, this is a fabulous place to perk up.
Café Florentine
667 Bleeker St.
If that sweet tooth has started to kick in then head to Café Florentine. It’s an adorable little café with outdoor seating, wifi, cannolis,
and other pastries to die for.
Pho Mekong House of Noodles
601 John St.
It may look like a beat up shack, but there is so much more to it! Hiding inside is authentic and delicious Vietnamese food. It’s a
little rustic and you might have to scrounge for your own silverware but it is definitely worth it in the end.
Virgo Bat’s Retro Collective
722 Varick St.
An eclectic assortment of men’s and women’s vintage clothing from the 1940’s through 1970’s with handmade accessories and used
vinyl records, CD’s, tapes, and music memorabilia. Great if you’re looking for a funky costume or just simply a weird outfit.
Space 26
24 Bank Pl.
This swanky nightlife hot spot caters to a more professional crowd rather than the frat boy scene, so if you’re in the mood for getting
down to jazz and electronic tunes with Utica’s best, this is your spot.
