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.

The food here is cheap and delicious. There are favorites of course – the escabeche, the chorizo, the calabacitas – the list is long. You can grab a burrito at the taqueria and eat on the Commons, but then you can't enjoy a margarita, and they are not to be missed. The full serve restaurant (the cantina) has a solid bar menu and all the favorites that you can get to go. Food is fresh, healthy and wonderful. Don't forget to look for the hippo head.
