Melinda & Max
Things To Do
Ithaca Farmers Market
Go see our venue in action! The market is open Saturday (9AM-3PM) and Sunday (10AM-3PM) - It's a great place to go grab breakfast or a fun local craft!
Buttermilk Falls State Park
This is another stunning hike that is one of Max and Mel's favorites!
Robert H. Treman State Park
This is a beautiful, fairly rigorous hike and popular swimming spot. Max thinks it looks like Jurassic Park!
Taughannock Falls
This is Mel's all time favorite hike in Ithaca! It's an easy 2 mile roundtrip walk to the most beautiful waterfall in Ithaca. This is about a 20 minute drive from city center, and totally worth it!
Collegetown Bagels
THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST BAGEL PLACE ON THE PLANET YOU HAVE TO GO HERE. Mel always orders the Vegetarian Bagel on Rosemary Salt, and Max always orders the Bronx Bagel on Rosemary Salt. Either way, you have to get the Rosemary Salt! Their coffees are outrageous too. Ithaca Bakery is also affiliated to CTB and a great option too!
Purity Ice Cream Co.
The BEST ice cream! If you know Mel at all, you'd know her favorite food is ice cream - and this is where the love started. Mel's favorite flavor is chocollate raspberry truffle in a sprinkle waffle cone, and Max's is a Madigan Mint Milkshake. You cannot go wrong here, it is truly the best!
Ithaca Commons - Seneca St
You'll love walking down this cute street filled with local shops!
Wine Tour
If you're planning on staying a few days, there are tons of wineries in the area!
Cornell Botanic Gardens
This is a great place to go to get a look at Cornell's campus while enjoying some beautiful wildflowers!
