Downtown Ithaca

In Ithaca, Downtown really is down town. Nestled at the bottom of 50 mile long Cayuga Lake and surrounded on three sides by hills, the city center looks up to Cornell University and Ithaca College and the older suburbs. There was a long-sustained rumor that the Little Rascals filmed their boxcar hill run on one of the tree-lined streets that heads straight into town, and when you visit you'll see why that was a hairy ride.

It's more of a craft cocktail lounge than a bar. Part of the Argos Inn - a beautifully restored mansion featuring impeccable guest rooms -- Bar Argos is an elegant blend of past and present, featuring historic preservation cocktails alongside locally and seasonally based mixes. The bartenders are masters of their craft, and while they are fully capable of mixing your favorite drink, it's much more fun to tell them what you're in the mood for and what you like and let them surprise you with a uniquely crafted beverage. Ask about their shrubs. There is no food served, but you'll often find one of the local food trucks parked outside on busy nights. Photo credit to Ed Dittenhoefer.
