First Stops for New Syracuse Residents
Dollar Tree is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

1. Dollar Tree

8.0
3130 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY
Discount Store · 4 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Make this your first stop for everything. Cleaning supplies, office supplies, kitchen utensils, etc. You can stock up on everything for cheap here. Biggest Dollar Tree selection in town.

Target is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

2. Target

8.4
340 Towne Dr (at North Burdick St.), Fayetteville, NY
Big Box Store · 16 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Best Target in town. Stock up here. Fairmount/Camiluus Target is a great second choice if you live on the west side of town.

Target is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

3. Target

7.5
3657 W Genesee St, Syracuse, NY
Big Box Store · 17 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Second best Target in town. Fayeteville Target is better.

Wegmans is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

4. Wegmans

9.0
6789 E Genesee St, Fayetteville, NY
Supermarket · 98 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Wegmans is consistantly rated the best grocery store in the nation and this is its best store in Syracuse. Just don't go sunday nights (restocking) or weekday evenings (huge rush).

Sam's Club is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

5. Sam's Club

2649 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY
Warehouse or Wholesale Store · 7 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Need stuff in bulk? Until Costco opens up in late 2013/early 2014, this is the best warehouse club in town. Don't bother with BJ's. They're over-priced w/ poor selection.

Sam's Club Fuel Center is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

6. Sam's Club Fuel Center

2701 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY
Fuel Station · 4 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Oftentimes the cheapest place in town to buy gas. However, the 93 octane gas here does not have as much power/oomph as Sunoco's 93 octane gas. Must decide between saving money and engine performance.

Walmart Supercenter is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

7. Walmart Supercenter

6.0
5399 W Genesee St, Camillus, NY
Big Box Store · 26 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: If you prefer Walmart over Target (seriously?), this is *the* Walmart to go to. The largest in town unless you want to make the 45min drive south to Cortland.

Under Armour is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

8. Under Armour

6.8
655 Rt 318 Ste A003 (at Waterloo Premium Outlets), Waterloo, NY
Clothing Store · 3 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: It's absolutely critical that you stop here and buy some long underwear before the winter sets in. I recommend the base layer 3.0 for Syracuse winters.

L.L.Bean is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

9. L.L.Bean

6.8
304 Towne Center Drive, Fayetteville, NY
Clothing Store · 4 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: If you need winter clothing, make a pit stop here. You may not get everything you need, but you'll find some essentials here.

10. Waterloo Premium Outlets

7.5
655 NY-318 (9 Foot Rd), Waterloo, NY
Outlet Mall · 25 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: This outlet mall is very unimpressive. However, if you are in dire need for cheap apparel or a shopping escape, this is your best bet.

Destiny USA is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

11. Destiny USA

8.1
9090 Destiny USA Dr, Syracuse, NY
Shopping Mall · 144 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: It's a mall. Happens to be the 6th largest mall in America. But don't get your hopes up, it's disappointing. Get what you need and get out.

12. Goodyear Tire

3136 Erie Blvd E, East Syracuse, NY
Automotive Repair Shop · 1 tip

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Until you find a local mechanic, Goodyear Auto Service is your best auto care chain bet in 'Cuse. They do it all (almost) at an OK price w/ no fuss. This location is the friendliest of 'em all.

K&C Auto Center is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

13. K&C Auto Center

Milton Ave, Solvay, NY
Automotive Repair Shop · 1 tip

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Best local mechanic I've used so far. Tomlin (front desk receptionist) is one of the friendliest people ever. OK priced, fast-ish turn around, good service.

Delta Sonic Car Wash is one of First Stops for New Syracuse Residents.

14. Delta Sonic Car Wash

6.5
3439 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY
Car Wash and Detail · 28 tips and reviews

Bobby L.Bobby Lee: Best car wash in town to get winter grime off, but always a line. Get the $16 Super Kiss Plus wash. Sign up on e-mail list for coupons. Go weekdays midday for most thorough wash. Weekends are rushed.
