The 9 Best Utica Restaurants You've Never Heard Of

There's a Broadway show called Brigadoon, about a magical Scottish village that springs to life once every 100 years. This is the Utica restaurant version of that musical.

Our Facebook Friends took up our challenge and told us about their favorite restaurants and eateries that rival the town of Brigadoon in obscurity, magic and wonder. The listing is a combination of ethnic and American joints. And some of them are open at odd times every week, but we've provided links to their Facebook pages.
