Your day in Syracuse begins at the vibrant and eclectic Salt City Market, a food lover’s paradise where the city’s diversity comes to life through flavor. Inside this colorful space, stalls brim with global dishes—Somali sambusas, Vietnamese pho, Caribbean jerk chicken, Palestinian manakeesh, and soul food classics. Enjoy lunch at own expense. You may choose small plates from different corners of the world. Each bite is a celebration of culture, community, and the ever-evolving food scene that makes Syracuse shine. After tasting foods from all over the world you will make a stop for a delicious cup of homemade gelato at BISCOTTI’S CAFÉ & PASTRY SHOP. Next up: a sweet stop with a twist at the Chocolate Pizza Company in Marcellus, NY. This quirky shop redefines dessert. You may want to purchase their signature Chocolate Pizza—a blend of rich chocolate, English toffee, and toppings like peanut butter cups or festive sprinkles—served in an actual pizza box. You may not want to skip the Peanut Butter Wings: salty potato chips dipped in creamy peanut butter, then drenched in chocolate. Strange? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely! You finish your food excursion in the rolling hills of LaFayette, NY at Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards, a Central New York staple for over a century. You sip on a flight of 1911 Established hard ciders. If you want to indulge, purchase a freshly pressed apple cider slushie, or warm cider donut. The views stretch for miles, and the breeze carries the scent of ripening apples and fresh hay. As the day winds down, you feel full—not just from the incredible food, but from the sense of place and community each stop provided. In Syracuse, every bite tells a story.  Throughout our excursion – learn about more exciting Scenic One travel opportunities ahead.
