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.

A long-time Ithaca favorite for brunch, it's located in the 100-year-old Dewitt Mall - another interesting historic building transformation as it served as Ithaca High School from 1915 until 1960 when the current campus was completed. Cafe Dewitt sits in middle of the main thoroughfare, perfect for people watching, though if you're not a fan of that the wall of fish tanks serves as a great distraction while waiting for your meal. The French toast is worth the wait.
