Built by CNY. For CNY.

We know what it's like to want to go out on a Friday and have no idea where to start. We also know what it's like to be a local business owner wondering if anyone even knows you exist.

What's happening near you tonight?

Right now, finding out what's happening locally means checking Eventbrite (mostly big Syracuse events), scrolling every bar's Facebook page, scanning the newspaper — and still missing things. It takes hours and people give up.

Wicked Local changes that. One app. Draw your own radius. See everything happening in your area — food, music, deals, events, services, hidden gems — all in one place, all at once.

We're not trying to be the next big tech thing. We're trying to make sure the Millers Mills Ice Harvest gets found. That the local band gets a crowd. That the woman selling homemade candles from her kitchen gets discovered.

"Every time someone in your area opens Wicked Local looking for something to do — your business is right there on the map. Not buried in a feed. Not missed because someone forgot to check your page. Right there."

Simple as a Friday night should be.

No more searching twenty different places. Wicked Local puts everything on one map — built around where you actually want to go.

01

Draw Your Radius

Open the app and draw any shape on the map — your neighborhood, your drive zone, your comfort zone for the night. You decide the area, not an algorithm.

02

Filter What You Want

Food? Music? Events? Deals? Services? Garage sales? Pick your tags and the map populates with exactly what you're after — nothing you're not.

03

Go Have Fun

See who else is going, read reviews, get directions, and spend your time actually getting ready — not scrolling Facebook until midnight.

Everything local. All in one place.

Wicked Local isn't just for bars and concerts. It's for every business, event, and hidden gem in Central and Upstate New York.

Less than a newspaper ad. Every single day.

A single newspaper insertion costs more than a month on Wicked Local — and it runs once. Your listing works 24/7, every time someone searches your area.

Reach people who are actively looking.

Unlike a billboard that interrupts, Wicked Local reaches people who already want to go somewhere tonight. That's the most valuable moment in advertising.

You don't need a Facebook page.

Post directly on Wicked Local. Your events, your specials, your story — no algorithm deciding who sees it.

Not just bars. Every local business.

Restaurants, food trucks, hair salons, home-based candle makers, farm stands, craft fairs — if you're local, you belong on Wicked Local.

Founding businesses get priority placement.

The businesses that sign up first get featured placement at launch. Be one of the first on the map.

Be part of something wicked good.
