It's not all bad though. There are a few good places near by for lunch and the employees are pretty entertaining. I'm pretty sure they hate give the speech on how to be a juror more than you hate listening to it. Even though they could use more comfortable chairs, the snarky attitude and proximity to tacos makes the Syracuse City Courthouse A-OK in my book.

This is a beautiful little town in Upstate New York not far from the highway and one of the service areas at Port Byron is technically in the town of Montezuma. It's famous and small and typical very ethnically homogeneous and very middle-class. The weather here is absolutely freezing which is definitely a bad thing.

Beautiful view of Syracuse from the top of this scenic and relaxing resevoir. Easy to moderate…read moretrails for all ages and dog friendly however your dog must be on a leash at all times. Great for families looking for a leisurely stroll throughout the day except their isn't any street lamps to lit the trails at night. So I recommend coming in the morning to early evening hours. Parking is free and easily accessible to the public and great for those needing a jogging path. The actual resevoir is fenced off and close to the public, so there is no swimming, fishing or any other water activities permitted including feeding the wild life in the area. This place ranks as one of my favorite spot to enjoy the view of the city and needing a serene place to escape the stresses of life! :) 2018 Yelp Review #45

City Hall is yet another spectacular building in the downtown area of Syracuse. There are so many Grand and imposing and spectacular buildings within a few blocks of each other. I don't think people realize just how beautiful the city of Syracuse is in terms of architecture.

I LOVE NY! Not just…read morea commercial statement anymore. Its a common thing you hear across the state and from tourists alike. What's not to like? Its the 4th most populous state but its a big one, so unless you are in Times Square you probably have plenty of breathing room. While NYC is the largest city in the US, and has over 800 languages being spoken at any given time, other cities and towns in NYS are much smaller and much easier to navigate with a car. Ive lived in NYC and in towns outside of the city and cities across the sate, so Ive had a little of everything. NYC is the home of the UN, has a huge impact on finance and fashion both, and of course has Broadway, setting the tone for theaters worldwide. Nevermind the Opera, Ballet and Museums. The state was named for the Duke of York (yep, a Brit). We have 4 of the 10 most popular tourist attractions IN THE WORLD. 4. 3 are in the city of course, the 4th is Niagara Falls, other end of the state. In NYC Grand Central Terminal, Times Square and Central Park are the others. While those of us who lived there took all three for granted, and likely passed through at least one of them (if not all three) weekly, they remain a significant tourist draw. As the largest point of immigration into the US, NYC has a very diverse population. 800 languages are spoken there. Ellis island remains a place where people go to see their family name on the wall or in the books. So many immigrants passed through there on their way across the US that over 100 million of us can trace our family roots there. Did you know NYS had the first state park, which was at Niagara Falls. Also, the Adirondack Park (great for hiking and camping both) is the largest state park in the US, by a very large margin. So while we have a lot of people, most are in the NYC area, and much of the rest of the state is available for hiking and more by everyone. Those are just some of the reasons I LOVE NY. This is the geographic center of the state, near Manilus, NY, right near where Sweet and Gates Roads intersect. I tried to put this review in the Capital, but Yelp kept moving it to the Capital Building, which this review is not at all about. Its about the whole awesome state. 2014
