Hi guys, So, this weekend I am driving to Utica, NY to pickup a merchandise I found on Craigslist. That means I will be driving, passing trough Rochester, Syracuse and Utica. Anything interesting things to see in Syracuse and Utica? Any important/unique landmarks? Any good restaurant in Utica, NY for lunch, perhaps? I am thinking of stopping by, perhaps 2 to 2.5 hours per city just to look around… Thanks! ---

I’ve got relatives in both the Utica and Syracuse areas and my personal opinion would be to… just keep on driving. ---

Mid 1990’s to now is the steroid era. Baseball has been around since the late 1800’s so i’d say not too many people. No wonder people pick on you so much. ---
