HAve you ever been to Syacuse, New York? It's upstate. 
I have been to Syracuse, it is beautiful this time of year.
Yes, very green with lots of trees! Near the Finger Lakes regios as well, great wineries. 
I loved doing local searching around the area.  Nature and the New England, Upper NY State area really is freeing for the mind. Don't you agree?
Yes, it's a big change from New York City! 
New York City is magical in it's own right.  The theater district, the fine foods and it is only one comfortable train ride away from where I live in Connecticut!  Have you been to the High Line yet?
I have not but I would love to! I have heard that it is very cool. I love the food in New York, especially Shake Shack. 
Those designer shakes are really getting big! I think social media is impacting how we eat! The fancier the better. We just tried Sugar Shack at the Foxwoods Casino.  $19.00 for a milkshake, are we crazy?
Wow! that seems a little expensive! When did a shake get to be ealmost $20? 
That used to be a meal deal for two at Chili's back in the day (actually not that long ago!) And included 2 drinks, 2 meals, an app and a dessert.  Makes you think about where you toss our money.  Not too say some designer meals aren't also amazing for our lives.  We all need a little treat now and again.
I agree with you, it's about social media. Everyone wants to post their pictures of their food. I am on a strict budget, so no treats fo rme these days!
