You don't even really need to see a show to want to just come see the building itself. I did of course come to see Get the Led out a Led Zeppelin cover band that did a great job at playing as close as possible to the original. I love that this venue is available close to home. Syracuse has lots to offer. This theater is palace waiting to be discovered.

The stairs in the balcony section are steep but I found the seats, themselves, to be quite comfortable. The sound and view from my seats were also always excellent. The ushers are very helpful and friendly as well. I can't wait to come back for another performance!

I LOVE NY! Not just…read morea commercial statement anymore. Its a common thing you hear across the state and from tourists alike. What's not to like? Its the 4th most populous state but its a big one, so unless you are in Times Square you probably have plenty of breathing room. While NYC is the largest city in the US, and has over 800 languages being spoken at any given time, other cities and towns in NYS are much smaller and much easier to navigate with a car. Ive lived in NYC and in towns outside of the city and cities across the sate, so Ive had a little of everything. NYC is the home of the UN, has a huge impact on finance and fashion both, and of course has Broadway, setting the tone for theaters worldwide. Nevermind the Opera, Ballet and Museums. The state was named for the Duke of York (yep, a Brit). We have 4 of the 10 most popular tourist attractions IN THE WORLD. 4. 3 are in the city of course, the 4th is Niagara Falls, other end of the state. In NYC Grand Central Terminal, Times Square and Central Park are the others. While those of us who lived there took all three for granted, and likely passed through at least one of them (if not all three) weekly, they remain a significant tourist draw. As the largest point of immigration into the US, NYC has a very diverse population. 800 languages are spoken there. Ellis island remains a place where people go to see their family name on the wall or in the books. So many immigrants passed through there on their way across the US that over 100 million of us can trace our family roots there. Did you know NYS had the first state park, which was at Niagara Falls. Also, the Adirondack Park (great for hiking and camping both) is the largest state park in the US, by a very large margin. So while we have a lot of people, most are in the NYC area, and much of the rest of the state is available for hiking and more by everyone. Those are just some of the reasons I LOVE NY. This is the geographic center of the state, near Manilus, NY, right near where Sweet and Gates Roads intersect. I tried to put this review in the Capital, but Yelp kept moving it to the Capital Building, which this review is not at all about. Its about the whole awesome state. 2014

There was no…read moreadmission on this particular Sunday and had tons of complimentary books, brochures and information regarding historical and present Syracuse! We spent well over an hour marveling at the rich history of the Salt City of Syracuse, original maps, antiques, so much to see! You definitely could spend hours digging into the history of Syracuse, Erie Canal, and surrounding areas! They do have an area for games and reading and a gift shop.

This is a lovely old building in the heart of downtown Syracuse which is probably most famous these days for being the epicenter for the ghost walks. It's great that they organize them and have jumped on the massive popularity of these things all over the world. Syracuse has a lot of old scary buildings so it's perfect for ghost walks, and the ghost walk run by this little place is actually probably one of the very best we've ever been on.

I have been boxing the last decade, so obviously I had to see the OG ring from Madison square garden. It's a small museum that you'll go through quickly, but man is it cool to see.

I'll just get this part out of the way: I'm not a fan of boxing (nor do I hate it), as in I just…read moredon't follow it like some people do. I know there will be a lot of people who would appreciate the museum, and since I was in the area at the time, I figure - why not visit? Yes, it's definitely the Int'l Boxing Hall of Fame and I'm surprised they don't have (+ Museum) attached at the end! It is actually two parts: one big building which has the gift shop and the old Madison Square Garden boxing rink (which was donated to the place in 2000s). The smaller building houses three rooms, one mostly focused on the Hall of Fame inductees, plus some cool, very retro memorabilia such as old books from the 19th century about boxing. It's interesting to know that boxing has been around for centuries and somehow someone was taking notes and records on who were the greats during the older times. I've heard of all the boxers that everyone else has heard of, like Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Evander Holyfield and a couple others. Of course, they're all enshrined. Even Sylvester Stallone, who wasn't really a pro boxer - just helped popularize it - is in the Hall of Fame! The other two rooms have memorabilia dating back to at least 1900. Lots of cool retro posters, bronze fists that are meant to look like other boxers, etc. A different but great experience, regardless of how much you care about boxing. Apparently the greats think it's a big deal...Tyson and Stallone have both been here!
