Boxcar Diner

Liverpool, a village on the shore of Onondaga Lake just outside Syracuse, is home to Boxcar Diner. The railroad-themed name nods to the dining cars that inspired many classic diners, and it suggests a casual, no-fuss place for an everyday meal. It’s an easy stop for a hot meal close to home.

Liverpool is next to Onondaga Lake Park, which has a salt museum telling the story of the area’s salt-making past. A casual diner makes a good break after a walk along the lake. Boxcar Diner is a member of the Greater Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.
