Before the snow reaches Syracuse, be sure to check out the best Central New York spots to take in a beautiful Fall day.

As we reach mid-October, it’s hard to shift the thoughts of the upcoming winter into the back of our minds. But sometimes we need to remind ourselves to take advantage of the beautiful Central New York Fall instead of anticipating the colder months. Here are a few spots you have to visit to sneak in that last bit of adventure (and sun) before the snow falls.

Go for a treasure hunt in Central New York's Regional Market Authority.

Need an accordian? How about a hatchet? Or what about a clear toilet brush with seashells and plastic seaweed floating around inside the handle?  Maybe you didn't need these things before, but if you need them now, head to Central New York's Regional Market Authority for its Sunday Flea Markets.

The secret life of J.M. Berry

A LaFayette, N.Y. native finds his life’s purpose in a jar of honey.

Perched on a blue canvas deckchair propped on a plastic bin, Jon Michael Berry resembles a captain looking to sea. Small tufts of white hair poke out of his black sailor's cap, and a scruffy white beard helps conceal the few subtle smiles that flash across his face.

Berry wears simple brown shoes and clean blue jeans. Over a green thermal, he wears a slate-gray flannel covered in a pattern of black and tan wolves. His pale blue eyes are difficult to read.
