Downtown Ithaca Food & Drink Recommendations
TOP RECS Ithaca Beer Co (Ithaca Beer Drive) - Relaxed taproom/restaurant with great food and big lawn with Adirondack chairs. Book a tour of the facilities! Moosewood - mainstay for vegetarians with something for everyone Viva Taqueria - popular spot with no reservations but fast service and excellent food Collegetown Bagels (East State St) - Classic spot with a HUGE menu that has upgraded to a larger location since we graduated in 2013. Typically has long lines during peak times but it moves fast! Maxie's Supper Club and Oyster Bar - Southern dishes, shucked shellfish & live music, open late. Purity Ice Cream OTHER RESTAURANTS Mercado - Northern Italian Simeons - American Boatyard Grill - Lakeside American
Taughannock Falls State Park & Overlook
The waterfall overlook and hike are an iconic Ithaca area attraction. The park is nearby across the main road. A small entry fee gets you access to the lakeside park and swimming with pavilions and playgrounds.

Most memorable hikes include Buttermilk Falls State Park, Lake Treman Loop, Taughannock Falls State Park, Ithaca Falls Trail and Cascadilla Gorge Trail. Many trails follow river/gorges and can get a little slippery so bring good shoes and a suit so you can jump in!
