A Pocketful of Progress: A Retrospective Look at the Machines Found in our Smartphones opens 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3, downtown at the Onondaga Historical Museum. The exhibit displays machines from the past 150 years which performed functions that, today, can be done on a smartphone. The array of machines, many which originated right here in Syracuse, offer a stark juxtaposition to the incredible technological tool you carry every day in your purse or in your pocket. The is a free event. RSVP to ohamuseum@cnyhistory.org. For the safety of all staff and patrons, proof of vaccination is required to attend.

Every Thursday in February, Chef Kuukua will instruct in making a traditional African soup or porridge, in commemoration of Black History Month.

The World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters will bring its newly re-imagined Spread Game tour to Syracuse, featuring ankle-breaking moves, jaw-dropping swag and rim-rattling dunks. Part streetball from the players who defined it, part interactive family entertainment, the new tour will show off the best of the Globetrotters in a dazzling exhibition of talent and game.
