SweetnSalty: The Sweet Tooth we Need Before Finals

Just about two weeks ago, a new restaurant on 407 Eddy Street in Collegetown opened named SweetnSalty.

As I stumbled upon this place, I was attracted by the offering of waffles with ice cream as I yearned for delicious waffles in Ithaca after a stressful day of classes.
