Last night I took my girlfriend out in Syracuse for our weekly "release" from our jobs. It went like this...
7:00 - quick bite at Alto Cincos | $13
8:00 - an amazing display of music at the Syracuse Symphony | $58
10:00 - late dinner, drinks and dancing at Dinosaur BBQ | $29
11:45 - movie at the apartment
My point is this; only in Syracuse can I enjoy an amazing Mexican dish, a world renowned pianist, the best BBQ in the north east - and in my opinion, the best BBQ in the country... and I have lived in the south - and an awesome live blues band in one evening!
I have spent nights like this in many cities and typically spend $300+ and have just as much fun.
The moral of this little outtake of my life is that if you want to live a life to the fullest but are on a budget - you can live life like a rockstar in Syracuse for $100 a night.
