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.

    Skaneateles

    About 20 miles west, this village on one of the clearest of the Finger Lakes has a lakefront park, boat cruises, shops and restaurants along a classic small-town main street.

    Armory Square

    The historic warehouse district downtown is now Syracuse’s liveliest neighborhood, filled with restaurants, bars, independent shops and the Museum of Science and Technology.

  3. 03

    Housed in I. M. Pei’s first museum building, the Everson is known for its American art and one of the largest public collections of ceramics in the country.

    Set in the only surviving weighlock building on the canal, the museum tells the story of the waterway that shaped upstate New York, including a replica canal boat.

  5. 05

    Green Lakes State Park

    East of the city in Fayetteville, two glacial meromictic lakes glow an unusual blue-green color, circled by hiking trails, old-growth forest and an 18-hole golf course.

    The original location of this barbecue joint, opened in Syracuse in the 1980s, serves ribs and pulled pork to a lively crowd, often with live blues in the evening.
