Things To Do
Taughannock Falls State Park
Taughannock is the tallest waterfall in the Northeast -- at 215' it is taller than Niagra Falls! Take a short 1-mile hike on a flat, manicured trail to the base of the falls or drive to the scenic overlook if hiking isn't your thing.
Buttermilk Falls State Park
The Buttermilk Falls Rim Trail is an unbelievable gorge hike. The first half mile is a steep incline, but we promise the views are worth it!
Ithaca Commons
Ithaca Commons is an outdoor pedestrian mall with plenty of eats, drinks, and shops. Make sure to stop one of our favorite restaurants -- Ithaca Ale House, Simeons Bistro, Mahogany Grill, or Viva Taqueria. If you're feeling extra spicy, have a shot at the Moonshadow Tavern for us!
Ithaca Farmers Market
The Ithaca Farmers Market is an exceptional experience for local craftsmanship, hot food, and produce. Make sure to go around brunchtime / lunchtime for great coffee, food, shopping, and live music.
Ithaca Beer Co
Ithaca Beer Co is not only a craft brewery, but also a farm-to-table restaurant. Visit the taproom, drink a flight, and eat a brick oven pizza or burger in their beautiful field. There are now 2 locations, but we HIGHLY recommend the one at 122 Ithaca Beer Dr.
Moosewood
A world-famous vegetarian restaurant known for their legendary cookbook. If you don't mind skipping the meat, Moosewood is a must!
Collegetown Bagels
Grab a coffee and a bagel or pastry at the great Collegetown Bagels. There are 2 locations -- in the Ithaca Commons and in Cornell's Collegetown.
Cornell University
Although Addison and Krista went to school on the South Hill at Ithaca College, Cornell University's campus is a sight to be seen. After grabbing breakfast at Collegetown Bagels, we recommend taking a stroll through campus for the views.
Ithaca Ale House
Best brews and bar food in town. Get the onion rings and buffalo chicken egg rolls!
Viva Taqueria & Cantina
An Ithaca staple, fresh Mexican food and margaritas to die for.
Argos Inn - Ithaca's Boutique Hotel
A beautiful B&B in downtown with a fantastic Absinthe bar, outdoor lounges with fire pits, and small bites.
Cayuga Lake Wine Trail
The Finger Lakes is a beautiful wine region known for their Rieslings. All of the wineries along the pre-historic Cayuga Lake are stunning. We recommend driving yourself or organizing a driver ahead of time, as Ubers can be scarce. It's also best to stick to one geographic side of the lake, as Cayuga Lake is huge (60 miles long). Some of our favorite wineries are: Hosmer, Americana, Thirsty Owl, Lucas, Long Point, Bright Leaf, Treleaven. https://www.cayugawinetrail.com/ is a great resource for your planning!
