Unlike Rensselaer, Buffalo, Rochester, Utica & Syracuse all are located in the downtown core with plenty of things to see, go to and do!
Syracuse's station is hardly near downtown; it's a good two miles west of the downtown zone. Had Ontrack been able to complete a connection and serve it's intended purpose, you might have an easy connection to go there, or even just to ride over to the mall platform. About the only other thing within an easy walk I didn't mention is the baseball stadium; I don't know if you can work out a set of connections that would let you attend a game without an overnight stay.
Someone mentioned to try Utica; the restaurant is primarily a dinner place - it's not open during the train show held there each January. There is another restaurant I think nearby. Kids may be interested in the Childrens Museum next door, but aside from that you'll be walking a few blocks to do anything.
Rochester is located in a lousy part of downtown.
