THE WORK
The Erie Canal isn’t just something you read about in a history book.
At Camillus Erie Canal Park, it’s still RIGHT HERE. More than 200 years after the canal first transformed New York, you can still walk or bike along its paths, take in a boat ride, explore the museum and experience a piece of the Erie Canal story for yourself.
And with fall here, there’s never been a better time to experience it…walk the trail, explore the history, take in the colors...the choice is YOURS!

This really has to be one of my favorite times of year in Upstate New York…crisp mornings, warm afternoons…it gets no better 💯 #upstateny #syracuse #syracuseny #sunrise #fallvibes🍁
It’s the FRIDAY FIVE! This week, we’re featuring entrepreneur and Chocolate Pizza Company owner Ryan Novak! Special thanks to our friends at @CrouseHealth for helping bring stories like Ryan’s to life each and every Friday in the FRIDAY FIVE!
Ryan’s story is one of those great Central New York stories about starting small, dreaming big, and never forgetting where you came from.
He started working at Chocolate Pizza Company when he was just 15 years old, mopping floors and washing dishes. But even then, Ryan had bigger dreams for the little chocolate shop in Marcellus. At just 21 years old, while still a senior at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management, he took a huge leap and bought the business.
What he’s built since is pretty remarkable.
Ryan has helped transform Chocolate Pizza Company from a small-town chocolate shop into a growing national brand, all while keeping the company family-owned and firmly rooted right here in Central New York. Today, the company operates from a 15,000-square-foot facility between Marcellus and Skaneateles, with its signature Chocolate Pizza and Peanut Butter Wings reaching customers across the country.
Along the way, Ryan and the company have been featured everywhere from People and Forbes to Food Network and ABC World News Tonight. But what I appreciate most about Ryan’s story is that behind all that national attention is still a local business, a local team, and a guy who literally started at the bottom and worked his way up.
That’s what the FRIDAY FIVE is all about. Getting to know the people behind the businesses, organizations, and stories that make Central New York special.
This week, get to know Ryan Novak!

So excited for this fall, and the Friday night lights set to beam from the Corcoran High School athletic field in Strathmore. I have so many awesome memories from my time at Corcoran, and am appreciative for all the amazing teachers and administrators that made it one of the best experiences I had as a young adult. Cougars for life 💯🙌 #syracuse #fridaynightlights #scsd #fall #strathmore
One of my favorite buildings on one of my favorite campuses in one of my favorite cities at one of my favorite times of day…does it get any better?! PS: Can you name that building? #syracuse #syracuseu #syracuseuniversity #upstateny #sunset
It’s almost time to see my favorite New York State Park in all its FALL glory! Who else is excited to see Green Lakes State Park when the colors peak in a few weeks? This is not a current photo, this was taken with my drone in 2025. #greenlakes #iloveny #nysparks #greenlakesstatepark #upstateny
I’ve seen Syracuse from a lot of angles, but this view never gets old.
Looking through the city from north to south, you can see downtown rising in the middle and the valley stretching out for miles behind it.
It’s a perspective most people never get to stop and really appreciate.
A city I’ve known my whole life, seen in a completely different way.
This is why I fly.
To change perspectives of Syracuse, one view at a time.

On a walk through Strathmore, I spotted a small patch of brick peeking through the asphalt.
And for a second, it felt like old Syracuse was showing itself again.
There was a time when streets like this were everywhere… laid by hand, brick by brick, carrying generations of Syracuse families through the city.
Today, only FOUR brick streets remain. More than a road. A little piece of Syracuse history still beneath our feet.

It’s the FRIDAY FIVE! This week, we’re featuring Syracuse basketball legend, coach, AND community leader Eric Devendorf! Special thanks to our friends at @CrouseHealth for helping bring stories like Eric’s to life each and every Friday in the FRIDAY FIVE!
Most of us first got to know Eric on the court at Syracuse University, where he scored 1,680 points and became one of the most memorable players of his era. His basketball journey would take him around the world during a seven-year professional career before eventually bringing him back to Syracuse, first as a coach and today as a mentor to the next generation of players.
But what I love about Eric’s story is what he has chosen to DO with the platform basketball gave him.
Through @ed23hoops, Eric is pouring his experience into young athletes at every level, from individual training and camps to AAU teams for boys and girls. And through @ed23foundation, his impact reaches well beyond the basketball court.
From annual turkey drives and scholarships to programs supporting underserved youth, Eric continues to give back to the community that has supported him for so many years. He may not have grown up here, but Central New York is a community Eric now calls home, and he continues to show just how much that means to him.
That’s one of the things I love about the FRIDAY FIVE. We might know someone for what they’ve accomplished, but there is often so much more to their story.
This week, get to know Eric Devendorf.

25 years later, we remember.
The 9/11 memorial tucked inside the @nysfair is a powerful place to pause, reflect and remember the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and a day we will never forget. Standing face-to-face with the steel beam pulled from the rubble is such a powerful, moving experience.
As for me, I think about all those young dads that lost their lives and how heartbreaking it must’ve been for all those families and children. Keeping them all in my prayers today and forever.
Never forget.

Another @nysfair in the books! How would YOU rate this year?! What did you LIKE or what would you do differently? Honored to have captured this year’s NYS Fair from above for the sixth straight year. This picture is one of my favorite drone shots captured in 2025. #nysfair #syracuse #syracuseny #upstateny #syracuseu
