Explore Ithaca
Ithaca Falls
A magnificent waterfall very close to Stewart Park! No hiking necessary, you can view from the bridge/road.
Taughannock Falls
One of our favorite hikes in the area - the Gorge trail takes you up and around the falls, then back down and around for spectacular views. https://parks.ny.gov/parks/taughannockfalls
Ithaca Beer Co
Laid back brewery with a taproom, lots of outdoor space and good lunch food.
Ithaca Farmers Market
A must! Open Saturdays and Sundays - dozens of food, craft, wine/cider, produce and flower vendors. Live music, a great place to stroll, hangout, and taste the local flavors.
Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art
Check out the beautiful art museum on Cornell's campus, designed by I.M. Pei & Partners. Admission is free!
Ithaca Bakery
Great for lunch - tons of sandwiches, salads, smoothies.
Autumn Leaves Used Books
Rachel loves this place, as you can imagine. Ithaca's version of the Strand, has a cafe upstairs.
Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Cornell's Ornithology Lab is located in Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary, a 230-acre nature preserve that’s home to exquisite walking trails - see if you can find the Andy Goldsworthy sculptures!
