SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Miss Prissy’s, a Syracuse eatery specializing in American soul food, will soon open a location at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR). The restaurant, one of the original vendors at the Salt City Market, recently made headlines when Onondaga County awarded it a $100,000 grant for its renovation work at 431 S. Warren St. where expects to begin stand-alone restaurant operations in November. Miss Prissy’s is a New York State-certified Minority-and-Woman-Owned-Business. It will be located in the previous eSavvy gift shop location in the post-security checkpoint hallway leading to terminal B gates, the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) said in its announcement. This location, just down the hall from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoint, will be “conveniently accessible to all travelers, regardless of their departure terminal.” SRAA expects construction at SYR to begin in late 2024 with a targeted opening date in the first quarter of 2025. “As we expand and improve the airport, our mission is to ensure travelers can savor the finest local flavors Syracuse has to offer,” Jason Mehl, SRAA chief commercial officer, said in the announcement. “By partnering with Dreamer and Cyrus to introduce Miss Prissy’s to the airport, we are bringing our vision to life, creating a genuine ‘sense of place,’ and elevating the entire passenger experience.” SRAA says Miss Prissy’s co-owner Dreamer Glen is “excited” to meet and serve the “diverse clientele from all over the world” who pass through SYR. “Food is the ultimate unifier. You can crack anyone with a good meal!” Glen said in the SRAA announcement.
