Message: [QUOTE="Obie9, post: 1485549, member: 194"] My wife & I do something similar in that we try to go to 2-3 away games a year......but for basketball. We were able to visit just about every venue in the Big East, and are now working on our tour of the ACC. When we visit other schools, we like to stay within an hours drive from our hotel. Syracuse and surrounding areas have much to offer. Although nice, I would think Niagara Falls is a little to far away. Cooperstown, and the Baseball Hall of Fame is not to far from the Turning stone, and should be on the bucket list of any sports fan. Plan on spending several hours there if you go. I believe I read that several LSU fans were making the trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Friday. Someone mentioned Beak & Skiff Apple orchard. I think this would be a great idea. They have excellent desserts and breads as well as a grill and most importantly a bar that serves a variety of hard apple ciders, vodka, & gin. The bar has a small outdoor patio with beautiful scenery, and just minutes from downtown Syracuse. Syracuse has a lot of nice golf courses, but if you are staying at turning stone, there are no better courses. I'd golf at Turning Stone to limit your running around. As far as restaurants, it is very individual. My wife and I always try to eat at a campus location. Varsity pizza is pretty good, but will be crazy on game day. Funkin Waffles is great [URL='http://www.funknwaffles.com/wp/our-menu']www.funknwaffles.com/wp/our-menu [/URL]and I'd highly recommend the Jive Turkey which was featured on diner driv-ins & dives. There are also a lot of great places to go in armory square that have been mentioned above. Personally, I'd go to Pastabilities, Kitty Hoynes or Empire brewing. Dinosaur BBQ is a nice spot, especially at night if you like blues music. 10 years ago, I would have said this is a must, but I feel their food is not as good as it once was. Anyways, welcome to Syracuse. You have much to choose from with all the ideas posted above. Both my wife and I are anxious for the return trip to Baton Rouge in 2017. [/QUOTE]
