Definitely see the Erie Canal Museum.
Have a look at the Niagara Mohawk Building. It's like something out of a superhero movie.
Syracuse potatoes are a tradition.
We stayed at the Jefferson Clinton, and it was good. Nice laundry facility. If your AC quits working in the middle of the night, call the front desk and they can remotely reset it.
Check out the fountain that commemorates where the canal used to come through town.
Study the trail maps.
