Lyft has announced the winners of its 4th annual Lyftie Awards, a program that recognizes the most popular destinations in cities across the country, and Syracuse made the list!

A little background about Lyft, if you aren’t sure what it is. It’s a service that cuts down on drunk driving and offers people a safe affordable way to get from point A to point B. When I moved to CNY a few years ago, I was shocked it wasn’t here yet. I am extremely grateful that it’s here now offering rides to all of us when we are in need.

This year, the ride sharing company has expanded the awards to include bars, concerts, gyms, neighborhoods, and more in 45 different markets.
