Downtown Syracuse is five minutes from our venue spots and there are so many amazing restaurants to be tried!

We would recommend:

Apizza Regionale: is the spot for gourmet pizza. You will not be disappointed! ($16-22)

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: has great southern-style meats with a fun retro environment ($16-22)

Pastabilities: is very known for its wide variety of handmade pasta! ($15-35)

Margaritas: is a high quality Mexican restaurant (Josh and I's favorite restaurant!) ($16-25)

Over the Cuse Deli and Grill: has some of the best Mediterranean style food we have ever had (and they are open until 2:00 am!) ($13-20)

Blue Monkey cafe: is a very nice asian restaurant with all the sushi and poke bowls you could imagine. They have very quality ingredients and a nice sit down environment. ($7-25)

Salt City Market: is down the street from the Marriott hotel and it is a food court style mall hosting over 10 restaurants with different cuisines! Very nice environment! ($10-25)

Blaze pizza: has a fast food, build your own pizza! Josh and I go here all the time because all the extra toppings are free! ($12-15)

and of course, this would not be Josh and Rylie's list of recommendations if it did not have...

Chipotle: a classic. Fast food style Mexican burritos and bowls!

Cake bar: nice coffee place with a nice environment to sit down and enjoy. They also have a variety of pastries, cakes, and cookies! (street parking) ($4-12)

Peaks: another nice coffee place (street parking) ($4-12)

There are also Dunkin's, Tim Hortons, and Starbucks all around the area

Syracuse University will have no students but a beautiful campus. You are welcome to walk the campus and explore the grounds!

Clinton Square is in the center of downtown Syracuse. It has a nice fountain and seating to take in the views!

Green Lakes beach is a very popular spot for us if we ever want to lay a towel in the sand, tan, and swim!

Jamesville beach is a bit smaller but still a very nice spot. (also where Josh and I got engaged!)

Destiny USA mall is one of the biggest malls in our country! It has a lot of good stores and restaurants.
