When in doubt about where to find a good time on the city's nightlife scene, go blue! To the Blue Tusk, that is. This is a bar that makes a special effort to maintain its reputation for being one-of-a-kind by offering an ever-changing selection of the highest quality international and specialty beers, fine wine and gourmet food. And its location only adds to the place's vintage air, as it can be found in the heart of historic Armory Square in downtown Syracuse.
The Onondaga Historical Association Museum is one of the largest and most respected regional facilities in the area. It has amazing stories to tell, some of which reach back to include over 300 years of natural, cultural, artistic and industrial history that are all presented in a wide variety of exhibits. One of the museum's largest and most popular exhibits is the Underground Railroad exhibit and Syracuse's role in its establishment. Unlike various other museums, this is a non-interactive, “look-don't-touch” facility, so parents with small children are advised to monitor them closely.
Syracuse City Ballet, formerly Upstate NY Ballet, features some of the area's most talented and dedicated performers. The ballet's impressive entertainment schedule keeps the group of producers, choreographers and various other behind-the-scenes personnel busy all year long. Don't miss your chance to see these breathtaking performances for yourself!
