Being from Syracuse, Ny I have absolutely grown to love being from here. Maybe it's not the best city but it's certainly not the worst and there are tons of things to do, that I continue to do. These are some idea I would give someone asked me what to do while visiting Syracuse...

1. Marshall Street

The "college students strip" that happens to be filled with amazing food and insomnia cookies, very casual and "cute" strip to walk along to grab a bite to eat.

2. Armory Square

Check out the sound garden, bubble tea, the Most museum, several shops and amazing food restaurants like pastabilities.

3. Destiny Mall

One of the biggest malls in America, very popular and great place to shop and do other activities such as wonder works, the escape traps, the mirror maze and go karting.

4. Onondaga Lake Park

Beautiful, relaxing and FREE. Free to ride bikes, roller skate run and walk your pets.

5. Funk n Waffles

Sometimes live music or open mic night--plus any kind of waffle ever!!

6. Clinton Square

It's always filled with people for the tree lighting and ice skating during the winter at Clinton square.

7. Carrier Dome/ SU Hill

Go watch a Syracuse basketball game and check out SU's beautiful campus.

8. Baldwinsville Amphitheater

My favorite place to watch the fireworks because of all the good vibes from so many people, the theater has concerts all throughout the summer and right on the Seneca river.

9. The FALLS

Buttermilk, Chittenango, Ithaca, Salmon River, Pratts falls and the list goes on.

11. Heid's Hotdogs

There's Ted's hotdogs and then there's Heid's...
