Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is a Syracuse classic and has won Best Bar-B-Que in America on multiple occasions! Dino has been featured on the Food Network, Travel Channel, and Good Morning America. We recommend the Bar-B-Que chicken, pulled pork, BBQ beans, & cornbread, but you can't go wrong.

Turning Stone Resort offers a variety of activities, including world-class gaming, seven exceptional restaurants, PGA-level golf at Shenendoah, and a luxurious spa. The Sportsplex offers year-round indoor golf and you can find live music in one of their restaurants almost every night!

For a true taste of Syracuse, a visit to Pastabilities is a must. Don't miss their famous Stretch Bread paired with the spicy hot tomato oil—a local favorite that’s so good, it’s sold all over Upstate New York!

Clinton Square, located about half a mile from Hotel Syracuse, offers ice skating for all ages—a perfect way to enjoy downtown Syracuse in the winter!

If you're a fan of bagels, you have to stop by Water Street Bagel Company! We love their wood-fired bagel sandwiches. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast or a quick lunch, this spot never disappoints!

One of our favorite spots downtown for tacos and drinks is XO Taco! Bella's personal favorite is the Howlito Burrito, and Chris loves the Carne Asada and Lobster Tacos. Be sure to add on the Chips and Guacamole as well!

Salt City Market is a food hall featuring authentic cuisine from all over the world. This is a fun place to stop by if you would like to cater to everyone in the group!
