An Ithaca classic. It's not really authentic Mexican food, but it's tasty, feel-good, and fun! Lots of vegan/vegetarian options, too.

Lots of interesting shops selling everything under the sun! (And literally next to the sun, since it's the beginning of the Carl Sagan planetary walk, which concludes right next to our house, at the ScienCenter.) The newly refurbished Ithaca Commons is a lovely pedestrian mall with plenty of shops to browse through and lots of nice restaurants to keep you going.

Getting Around
A 6 minute drive from our house! Security is a breeze and everyone is friendly. We love flying out of here. And, better yet, the flight paths don't go over our house, so we can't even hear the planes :)

If you take the bus to Ithaca, your ride will stop here. It's a bit of a walk to/from our house, though you could do it. If you're leaving from here, pick up a snack at the CoOp right across the street before you go.
