Food Scene

We had my spouse's graduation dinner here after the ceremony at Cornell and it was fantastic. Highly recommended! Right on The Commons.

Just A Taste is a great restaurant but the environment is quite noisy. They also serve wine and beer. Tapas are fun when you are with three or more people.

Parks & Nature

If you are coming to Ithaca for the first time, you must see Taughannock State Park. The waterfall is incredible. There is a nice walk/hike/bike-ride before you finally encounter the falls. Taughannock Park is more than just the waterfall; it is also a park and campground. There is a $7 fee for each car and they only accept cash. I believe parking is free after 6 or 7pm.

Sightseeing

Ithaca Falls isn't as well-known as Taughannock and Buttermilk State Parks but it is absolutely worth visiting. Located behind the Ithaca High School, I highly recommend it. I visit Ithaca Falls and Taughannock Falls at least once a year with my children, family and friends. It is completely free to walk up to the falls.

Arts & Culture

Cornell University is FULL of local history and culture. If you have never visited Cornell, I highly recommend devoting at least two hours to it. Check out the Clock Tower, Sage Chapel and learn about the history of Cornell.

Shopping

We have one Mall in the area. The biggest mall however is called Destiny USA and is located an hour away in Syracuse. The Ithaca Mall contains the essentials such as Best Buy, Target, Old Navy, Dicks, Pandora and of course, a food court.

The Ithaca Commons contains a variety of shops and restaurants. If this is your first time in Ithaca, I highly recommend it. The Commons was recently remodeled. Parking is free after 7 or 8pm in the parking garage that is within walking distance.

Essentials

Tops is a full grocery store. The products here are more affordable than anywhere else, if that is important to you. You will not find a bigger selection anywhere else, at least near my apartment. If you are willing to travel to downtown Ithaca, you might find that Wegmans is even better.
