Just how rural is Syracuse, New York?

<p>I love Armory Square! It’s a little taste of city life in 'Cuse. Freedom of Espresso, Sweet on Chocolate, Razz Berry, Sound Garden, great restaurants and the MOST (Museum of Science and Technology). It’s a nice escape from the hill. My friend and I make pilgrimages out there every so often for chocolate fixes. It’s a slow bus ride or quick drive to a few city blocks of culture.
Check out the Italian cultural festival in early fall.</p>
