Things To Do
Ithaca Farmers Market
Yes it's our venue - but it's also the greatest farmers market ever! Check it out Saturday 9-3, or Sunday 10-3. Some of our favorite items are the breakfast burritos, apple cider donuts, baked goods, dried flowers, thai food, chinese food, wood-fired pizza, and Knott's farm jam!
Waterfalls and State Parks
Ithaca is filled with beautiful waterfalls that we love to visit whenever we are in town! For hiking, some recommendations are Treman State Park (hike all or part of the rim trail), Taughannock State Park (take the path up to the falls), Buttermilk falls (start at the lower falls and hike up until you want to turn around), and Cascadilla falls (right in town!). Make sure to check out Ithaca Falls, too! It's right off the road and one of our favorite spots. Not hiking required! The state parks have hiking trails that range from wheelchair accessible to big elevation gains (even Ben can do them!).
Ithaca Commons
You can't go to Ithaca and not explore the Commons! There are tons of fun shops, restaurants, and street performers on this pedestrian mall in the middle of the city.
Purity Ice Cream
You can't go wrong at Purity Ice Cream - everything is fantastic!
Paddle on Cayuga Lake
Take a kayak or paddle board out on the lake!
Cayuga Lake Wineries
The Finger Lakes are known for their wineries - visit one or pick a few and make a wine tour!
Ithaca Beer Company
A beautiful spot to have some local beer!
Byrne Dairy and Deli
Ben really likes the low-fat chocolate milk from Byrne Dairy. They used to serve it on campus. Now you can buy it at a gas station.
