Not to be confused with Amoury Square, which is full of love, rather than old buildings…read more This is surprisingly but unequivocally one of the most beautiful town squares in the country (not in winter). Syracuse downtown is extremely underrated (not in winter) and it's absolutely gorgeous (not in winter), and if you should ever have the chance to wander around here (not in winter) and check out the incredible beauty of this city (not in winter), this is probably where you should start (but not in winter). (Not in winter)

Bars, Restaurants, Museum, a Shot Clock, yes Armory Square has it all, heck I even met my soon to…read morebe wife there. The establishments range from low brow to high class with college kid meat markets like Daisy Dukes to some pretty serious eats like Pascale's and Lemon Grass. Late night the close the street to traffic so you can make the stumble to your next bar. A number of the food places are open late (I would seriously suggest Nick's Tomato Pie) and in the summer, the Night's in Syracuse are perfect for out door drinking. If you want a good beer, Blue Tusk is your place. A ton of beer on tap plus outdoor seating. Awful Al's is a cigar bar and one of the few places in Upstate New York that allows indoor smoking. Empire Brewery brews their own and generally has some pretty good music. Syracuse Suds Factory also brews their own, though not quite as good as Empire, however the large space and lack of crowds tends to make this my default starting spot for a night out.

Came here to talk to a Fire Marshall or a US Marshall, specifically Tommy Lee Jones, who seems to…read moreget the wrong end of the stick in each of the films, but sadly, due to a horrendous case of False Advertising (again), there are *no* Marshalls of *any* kind at Marshall Square. In fact there's not even a Marshall's (or a Homegoods) (or even a Ross Dress For Less). Marshall Square is basically a little college mall (mini mall, indoor thankfully considering the temps around here in winter which lasts half the year), with about seven or eight different stores in here, one of which is a far inferior version of the best place in town (Strong Hearts), and another is a sandwich chain that I hate (sorry, I do), and then there's a bunch of other stuff along these lines. But overall it's a nice little mall and it's often used (by me and plenty of others) as shelter from the freezing cold in winter, but I wish all the stuff inside it was more appealing, as in, that the Strong Hearts was as good as the other one, that the sandwich shop was an indie place or at least a Potbelly or something, and so on. And more options. They decorated it in college colours (orange of course), which is cool, and they even have a college-owned gym in here, so it's better than I'm making it out to be. Speaking of making out.

This has been here for many many years. It's not really a mall, so make sure you don't get the…read morewrong idea when coming here. You will find a small mix of shops, food places, and of course an amazing place to get coffee. I know, there are no shortages of coffee places on the hill. This by far isn't somewhere that I would recommend you come to as a must see. However, if you are in the area and need a bit to eat, needs good drink, or just want to stay away from the madness of Marshall street for a few minutes. It's a pretty nice little escape from all that.

The staff are always nice though, and that's the important thing!

I have been shopping at this location since it first opened. Ever since the "rearranging" of this…read morestores lay out last year, this place has gone right down the tube. The worst part is the check out registers. Now, there is usually only one register open (instead of two or three), and a line of 6 or more customers waiting in line to pay for their merchandise. Most of the employees have been there for a long time, and all but one exibit the "I hate my job" vibe. The one that doesn't (yet) is the one that is the newest member of their staff. I used to shop there at least once a week, or at least every other week. Now I go a month or two between visits, and absolutely dread it when I have to check out.
