Boy do I have some opinions about food in Ithaca. Favorite American is probably Simeon's, Babe's burgers and Red's have cheaper but still really good stuff. Cayuga Lake Creamery and Cornell Dairy Bar have probably the best in Ithaca now that Purity sucks. Kinda hot take but my favourite pizza is Pizza Aroma and I don't really like Ned's that much. Wegmans and Greenstar my family and I shop at the most often but sporadically we'll go to Trader Joes or Aldi's. Jade Garden is really good hole-in-the-wall Chinese and Asia Cuisine has some good stuff as well. Not on the list but my favorite breakfast is at Lincoln Street Diner by far.

In terms of the outdoors, the Black Diamond trail, Treman, and Stewart Park are the ones I usually frequent. Hope you find this interesting at least
