This restaurant now on Syracuse’s North Side was formerly in Watertown: Mr. Bigg
There are 3 other Caribbean restaurants in Syracuse, btw(Jerk Hut, the Jamerican Diner and Jamaica Lick Finger).
Just an update, the last restaurant location has moved to Nedrow, a suburb just south of Syracuse near Green Hills Farms grocery store. I found out that they made the move a couple of months ago.
A sports reference from the Park School in Amherst outside of Buffalo and the writer is a former Niagara Falls HS and UB Basketball player that played on arguably the best HS Basketball team ever to play in Upstate NY: At The Point With Greg Gamble: Noah Hutchins – The Challenger News
A recent mixtape and he is coming back next year with his backcourt mate Daniel Scott(#13 in the video), whose mixtape is earlier in the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKTSi6cwAgM
A related historical reference is of Rev. James H. Nichols, who was born in Binghamton in 1842 and served at the Owego Church: https://books.google.com/books?id=mL...church&f=false (swipe page to the left) It mentions that he served at churches in Chatham, Albion, Amityville, Lockport, Setauket, Glen Cove, Jamestown, Middletown and Rochester. Given that he died in 1899, this illustrates that these Upstate and Long Island communities have long time Black populations/communities.
Also, this young man from Rochester is one of the top HS Basketball players for his class in the country: https://www.democratandchronicle.com...cks/658530002/ (if he stayed at McQuaid Jesuit, a team that made the public school state Final 4 in Class AA(the state’s biggest class), they would have had a great shot to win a State title)

Also, in terms of the historical reference(from 1917, if I’m not mistaken), it mentions that places such as Olean, Oswego, Elmira, Kingston, Warwick and Catskill as having churches.
From the same source(from 1882), there is a mention of an African Methodist Episcopal Church that was started around 1824 in the village of schoharie: https://archive.org/stream/cu3192402...e/378/mode/2up (page 378)
