Syracuse () is a city in and the county seat of Onondaga County, New York, in the United States. It is the fifth most populous city in the state of New York following New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, and Yonkers. At the 2010 census, the city population was 145,252, and its metropolitan area had a population of 662,577. It is the economic and educational hub of Central New York, a region with over one million inhabitants. Syracuse is also well-provided with convention sites, with a downtown convention complex. Syracuse was named after the original Greek city Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian), a city on the eastern coast of the Italian island of Sicily.
The city has functioned as a major crossroads over the last two centuries, first between the Erie Canal and its branch canals, then of the railway network. Today, Syracuse is located at the intersection of Interstates 81 and 90, and its airport is the largest in the region. Syracuse is home to Syracuse University, a major research university, as well as Le Moyne College, a nationally recognized liberal arts college. In 2010, Forbes rated Syracuse fourth in the top 10 places in the U.S. to raise a family.

Syracuse, NY and surrounding areas may not be as age friendly as one would hope. Jobs for people over 50 are unattainable once the employer sees your resume, no matter how qualified one might be. The downtown area of Syracuse is very difficult to maneuver for people in wheelchairs, as exampled by the lack of appropriate Handicapped designated parking place and extremely high curbs along many of the streets. Although many restaurants and public places have availabilty for ease of maneuvering wheelchairs and walkers, many times the ramps and walkways are too steep.
