Syracuse sits at the center of New York State, where the Erie Canal once carried salt from its springs to markets across the country. Today the city’s largest employers are Syracuse University, SUNY Upstate Medical University and the region’s hospitals, alongside defense electronics and engineering firms and a growing drone and advanced manufacturing sector. A major Micron semiconductor investment planned in nearby Clay has brought new attention to the region from engineers, builders and suppliers.
Syracuse is roughly a four- to five-hour drive from New York City and three hours from Albany or Buffalo, so business trips by car consume whole days. Flying private makes it easy to fly in for a meeting, a university visit or a Syracuse Orange game and fly out the same evening. Leisure travelers use the city as a base for the Finger Lakes, with Skaneateles Lake about twenty miles west, as well as Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands to the north. In town, Armory Square’s restaurants and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que are favorites.

Things to do in Syracuse
When to go. Summer and early fall are the best times to visit, with warm days on the Finger Lakes and the Great New York State Fair, which runs for about two weeks ending on Labor Day. Fall foliage peaks in early to mid-October, and football and basketball seasons bring crowds to the JMA Wireless Dome. Syracuse winters are among the snowiest of any large U.S. city, so plan for weather from December through March.
