I attended the Brew Fest for the first time a few years ago and I couldn't believe what I had been missing. What seemed like hundreds of different beers and wines to sample were available for my tasting pleasure. From the darkest loggers to sweet Belgium Frambiose, at this fest you are sure to find your new favorite.

Nobody can say it – everybody loves it. Skan-ee-AT-las is the name… “Long Lake” in the local Iroquoian tongue. It’s just the right size for strolling from shop to shop to shop, and the lake itself makes a wonderful backdrop for the 19th-century shopping district.

One of the great things about living in Syracuse is the abundance of parks and recreation trails. When I plan my workout I have dozens of uniquely interesting places that are within a few minutes drive. One of my favorite routes is something few parks can claim; it used to be one of the most important trade routes in the country. The route I am talking about is of course, the Old Erie Canal.

What kind is your favorite? Empire? Macintosh? Cortland? Whatever your choice, there are tons of local apple orchards within a 15 minute drive of downtown for you to sink your teeth into.

A few weeks ago, I visited Beak and Skiff Apple Farms in Lafayette and was pleasantly surprised at all they had to offer. Not only apple picking - complete with riding a tractor out to the orchard and getting "let loose" to choose the perfect pieces for a pie, cake or just to nibble - but a full country store, apple tasting stations, games and horse rides for the kids -- and a winery!
