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.
