If you enjoy learning the history of places, the Onondaga Historical Association Museum covers three interesting topics. The first is all about the county of Onondaga, the second about the underground railroad, and the third about the Chinese immigration to the city. As well as these topics, visitors will also learn about industries in the Syracuse region and fashion during the early 20th century. This museum is open daily until 4.00 p.m.

Columbus Circle and its plaza are one of the more popular neighbourhoods in downtown Syracuse. The circle is named after Christopher Columbus, and there is a monument that stands as the focal point of the plaza. There are two cathedrals on either side of Columbus Circle — the Catholic Immaculate Conception and the Episcopal St. Paul's. There are also two important county buildings — Onondaga County Courthouse and the John H. Mulroy Civic Centre.

Well, it would be a shame not to! There are a number of craft breweries in and around the city. They range in size and style from small operations run by beer enthusiasts to large breweries. If you are planning an evening visit, Eastwood Brewery is a microbrewery with a variety of craft beers that are served in a comfortable bar. You can choose a particular pint, or if you would like to sample all the Eastwood beers, order a flight!
