WVUFootball29 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Heading up to Syracuse to visit a buddy of mine who just moved up there. Need some ideas of things to do for two old married couples for a weekend? Any ideas?
Bullpen Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I hear they have a really nice Sears Department Store in Camillus.
BB27 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Wine tasting on the finger lakes! Keuka lake is about an hour and half (if you take your time), and there are hundreds of vinery's! Keuka Lake Wine Trail
HelloNewman Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 You can go by the old Channel 5 studios and throw a rock through a window.....

Keuka Lake Wine Trail Skanaetles (however it's spelled) is much closer and very nice. They have that one restaurant that is legendary.
linksfiend Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Clark's Ale House for Lunch and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que for dinner

Chef Jim Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Wine tasting on the finger lakes! Keuka lake is about an hour and half (if you take your time), and there are hundreds of vinery's! Keuka Lake Wine Trail I'll be there in a little over a week. I'm doing Seneca though.
Just Jack Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The wine trails as previously mentioned. Finger Lakes Wine Country Harborfest in Oswego Great American Antiquefest Sterling Renaissance Festival The Salt Museum - on the shores of one of the most polluted lakes in the entire US The MOST Dinosaur BBQ Beaver Lake Nature Center (hiking, canoes/kayaks,etc) Syracuse Visitors Bureau for any other questions/suggestions
The Poojer Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Heids,, Wegmans, Dinosaur, Middle Ages Brewing(free beer) Heading up to Syracuse to visit a buddy of mine who just moved up there. Need some ideas of things to do for two old married couples for a weekend? Any ideas?
The Senator Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Heading up to Syracuse to visit a buddy of mine who just moved up there. Need some ideas of things to do for two old married couples for a weekend? Any ideas? Couple of things previously mentioned - w/in the Salt City itself... Dinosaur Barbecue - classic Syracuse joint, great food, good music, motorcycle friendly Armory Square - Syracuse version of trendy neighborhood/Rouse development (lots of restaurants/bars/shops/etc.) Nearby... Finger Lakes Wine Trails - Cayuga is closest, Seneca is also well within range and has more wineries (I think) - Napa/Sonoma is ain't, but NYS is turning out some very nice wines these days. The Finger Lakes themselves are quite scenic, and there are many parks showcasing the region's beautiful gorges, waterfalls, etc. Ithaca, NY (about an hour away and home to Cornell University) was an 'early Hollywood', being very close to Rochester (home of Eastman Kodak, an early pioneer of motion picture technology) - some of the early Tarzan movies and Little Rascals short films were made there. And if you like NASCAR, depending on when your trip is scheduled, you can combine the Seneca wine trail with... Watkins Glen - the big NASCAR event on the Watkins Glen road course is August 8th
Just Jack Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Not quite Syracuse, but this weekend is Induction Weekend at the Baseball Hall Of Fame The Boxing Hall Of Fame is a short trip down the Thruway also.
Peter Griffin Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 In addition to all the other great suggestions 1 - check out http://www.syracuse.com/events/ for last minute ideas 2 - Turning Stone casino is 25 miles east of Syracuse 3 - Green Lakes state park has a really nice walking trail around 2 meromictic lakes created by the retreat of the Laurnetide ice sheet (if you'r into that sort of thing) 3 - Sylvan beach is at the eastern tip of Oneida Lake. Interesting resort town - sort of like a redneck Riveira. Completely opposite of the wine tour scene. 4 Dinosaur and Clarks are good (maybe I am burnt out on those two places) but I'd recommend Empire Brewing Co., Pastabilities, Coppertop Tavern, Alto Cinco's (get the catfish burrito), the Clam Bar .... see -> http://www.cnymenus.com/ for more info Have fun!
dalesw Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 How come nobody mentioned this place? http://www.bluetusk.com/
Peter Griffin Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 How come nobody mentioned this place? http://www.bluetusk.com/ Blue Tusk is good. Never crazy about the food there and the hippie crowd kind of turns me off (nothing against hippies per se, that crowd in particular seems unfriendly). I had a friend who didn't like to go there because he couldn't get a Bud Light. The Tusk did make a list of 125 places to have a beer before you die. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f28/growler-li...-you-die-65783/
