Located in the heart of downtown Ithaca, The Commons is a four-block pedestrian shopping area jam-packed with more than 100 independently owned and operated shops and boutiques, gift shops, restaurants, art galleries, service providers, street vendors, and entertainers.
If instead of the great outdoors it is fresh food and produce that you are after, then you’ll certainly want to check out the excellent Ithaca Farmers’ Market. A very fun and friendly place to explore, its countless stands and stalls are located at Steamboat Landing, along the shores of Cayuga Lake.
