Third Most Educated City In The United States
I can remember when I first came to Ithaca, I fell into the trap of believing that the city had nothing to offer me. It was winter. I was young. It was cold. But, after my first semester at Cornell I began to realize why so many Cornellians, so many townees, so many people endure these winters and enjoy what "the third most educated city in the U.S." has to offer. This blog should be used as a reference for those non-believers that feel that Ithaca is lacking in several areas or for those that know nothing about Ithaca. My weekly travels will include explorations throughout the city and incorporate useful tips or general explanations of a broad range of must-sees in Ithaca (restaurants, stores, landmarks etc.). My tidbits can be as simple as -a bar that serves the best beer and rarely cards- or -where exactly the Greenstar Cooperative Market is located. So please feel free to check it on a weekly basis to see if something strikes your fancy and I can promise you that Ithaca is more than an educated, cold, green city, it is oh so much more.

Dear CT,
ReplyDeleteAfter living in Ithaca for two and a half years, I really thought I had seen it all. I mean, I kind of always thought of Ithaca as consisting of the bustling College Ave., Wegmans, and Target. But Greenstar Cooperative Market? So alternative! So green! Wow, CT, your blog gives me hope that there is so much OH SO MUCH MORE to this place. I can't wait to follow your adventures, I might pee my pants.
Yours,
Show me the world
- I love to kayak and hike. Where can I pick up a picnic lunch-I am really into whole grain breads, good cheese and fresh organic berries. Also-any suggestions about where to rent a kayak on Cayuga?
ReplyDeleteI think Ithaca is a very ethereal place, where friendliness and peace reside around every corner. I love to wear my newly knitted scarves and parade around the commons seeking both vintage and modern shops and eateries in which to waste away indulging. It's truly my tangible embodiment of "the most wonderful time of the year" (the sinatra version, of course).
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask...where is a really classy and romantic date spot? I'm going to be in Ithaca visiting for Valentine's Day and I really want somewhere memorable to take my Valentine. Thanks ct268!!
