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).

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.

We were at the "Adult Scholastic Book Fair" (which was honestly pretty lame, though the people were mostly nice), and she started experiencing pain during lunch.

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.

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.

Their cards have super modern sentiments from silly sarcasm to sweet sincerity or puns with simplistic but bold designs. I bought my mom a card called Anatomy of a Woman for Mother's Day and she LOVED IT. The card I gave my mom also had wildflowers in the paper itself that could be planted instead of (eventually) being thrown out. I was laughing at their other selections such as divorce party cards! Most of the cards are printed on recycled materials too. Aside from cards the shop carries a lot of hand crafted wood items, glassware, candles, some jewelry, and unique ornaments around the holidays. If you're looking for a "classy" gift I'd recommend Mixed Methods.
