As March approaches, we\u2019re getting ready to celebrate Women\u2019s History Month! It\u2019s time to reflect on the amazing female accomplishments of the past and show your appreciation for all the incredible women in your lives. In honor of the month, why not check out some of Syracuse\u2019s woman-owned businesses?<\/p>\n
For all the bookworms out there, the Golden Bee Bookshop<\/a> in Liverpool is a buzz<\/em>worthy spot. Owner Casey Rose Frank has dedicated her shelves to books that represent a diverse audience, ensuring everyone can find a piece of themselves in a story from her shop. Aside from selling a large selection of books, the Golden Bee also hosts various events, including book clubs for every genre. The store even has a partnership with Libro.fm<\/a> if audiobooks are more your speed. So if you\u2019re looking for a new hobby or want to fuel an existing one, go pick up a book (or many), and don\u2019t forget to read bee<\/em>-tween the lines!<\/p>\n Who doesn\u2019t love a sweet treat? In 2011, two female friends, Jennifer Walls and Natalie Evans, started a catering business before settling into their shop downtown, The Sweet Praxis<\/a>, in 2016. Sadly, Evans passed away in 2022, but the business has continued to flourish under Walls. This bakery carries an elaborate assortment of baked goods, along with fancy drinks and lattes, and even some more hearty lunch foods. Plus, there are various gluten-free and vegan options. If you\u2019re looking for a goodie to bring to a friend’s potluck or you\u2019re planning a coffee date, consider making an order or stopping by!<\/p>\n Window-shopping at a boutique is one of my favorite pastimes. If you\u2019re into that sort of thing, you\u2019d love BeeKind<\/a> in Tipperary Hill. While the shop is filled with tons of knick-knacks ranging from home decor to jewelry to beauty products and more, the homemade soy candles are the main attraction. In fact, co-owners (and sisters!) Jillian Barret and Jenna Graf formed their business after perfecting their candle-making craft during the COVID-19 shutdown. On the whole, BeeKind is about sharing products that were created close to home. So if you need a sweet gift for a loved one, products from BeeKind are as kind as can bee!<\/p>\n Calling all the foodies! Located in Salt City Market downtown, Mamma Hai<\/a> is a Vietnamese restaurant that shares traditional recipes mixed with some local Syracuse flavors. They also have gluten-free and vegan options. Owner Ngoc Huynh opened the restaurant in 2021 to share her culture, family recipes and love of cooking. With the intention of being a place of comfort for the community<\/a>, Huynh named her restaurant after the endearing Vietnamese term \u201cMamma Hai,\u201d meaning \u201cMother number two,\u201d someone who cares about you unconditionally. So if you\u2019re feeling homesick or just looking for a nice meal, grab a bite and remember to spread the love.<\/p>\n On International Women\u2019s Day (March 8), CNY Women\u2019s Network<\/a> is hosting a CNY Women\u2019s Market<\/a>, showcasing woman-owned businesses, artists, makers, curators and creators. The event will be held at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and is free for anyone who wants to come support and celebrate women in business.<\/p>\n Written By Maggie Anderson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u201925, S.I.
