Ithaca Farmers’ Market

The Ithaca Farmer’s Market is the largest in the region, with over 150 vendors living within 30 miles of Ithaca. Agricultural vendors grow and offer high quality produce, while many talented artists and craftspeople sell exceptional, locally made items.

Cornell Plantations is alive with plants, purpose, and a pres-ence that truly distinguishes the university among its peers. Our mature botanical garden, arboretum, and diverse net-work of nature preserves help make Cornell one of the most beautiful campuses anywhere.

Moosewood Restaurant+ My Trip

+ My Trip

The restaurant had a big hand in changing the way people thought about local, organic, vegetarian recipes. Their menu, which changes twice daily for lunch and dinner, is influenced by the freshest local ingredients and imagination.

This tiny tapas restaurant is dishing out big flavors. Their constantly evolving menu features a selection of proteins like buffalo, octopus, and head cheese. Unpredictable, this eatery is not to be missed.

WELCOME TO Ithaca

fun facts

Ithaca and Tompkins County are located in the Finger Lakes Region of central New York State

Ithaca, NY sits at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, the longest of the 11 Finger Lakes.

Ithaca is famous for its many waterfalls, more than 100 within 10 miles of downtown. If you put them all together, it’s a waterfall 7,342 feet tall. That’s 1.39 miles of falling water!

Ithaca takes its name from the Greek island of Ithaca in Homer’s Odyssey

The first Ice Cream Sundae was invented by a local fountain owner Chester Platt and Unitari-an reverend John Scott on April 3, 1892

Chicken Nuggets were invented by Cornell food scientist Bob Baker in the 1950s.

Novelist Vladimir Nabokov wrote “Lolita” in Ithaca-and he almost burned it here after the story was rejected by every American publish-er. His wife changed literary history when she pulled the manuscript from the incinerator be-hind their rented house on East Seneca St.

What makes Ithaca unique? Is it the towering waterfalls, lush ice-age gorges, endless panoramic views? Is it the hiking, the biking, the boating? Is it the beauty of Cayuga Lake, the largest of the Finger Lakes? Perhaps.

But perhaps it’s something more. Maybe it’s the buzz from Cor-nell University and Ithaca College. You feel it everywhere—in our museums, our galleries, and in our restaurants. You hear it in our theaters, our nightclubs, our Finger Lakes festivals. You see it downtown on our pedestrian mall, the Ithaca Commons, where PhDs cross paths with street musicians and families stroll the solar system on an interactive “planet walk.” You experience it in our area hotels, B&B’s and waterfront cabins. You can’t put your finger on it, but there’s something special going on here.

The bumper stickers say “Ithaca is Gorges,” but it’s more than that. Ithaca is beautiful and smart and always unexpected. It’s in-tense and laid-back and disdainful of convention. Ithaca is Ithaca. There’s a vibe here unlike anywhere else in America. And experi-encing it is the only way to discover it.
