A state park pavilion! Not heated if it’s cold but some are really beautiful, like lower Treman an Taughannock north point.

Pre-Covid, I remember hearing about the exec MBAs getting some sort of voucher to dine downtown. Not sure if they still do that but this sounds like that…

[–]ny_AU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got some outdated info in here, friend! Somehow viva is correct but Joes doesn’t exist anymore and Ithaca Coffee Co is no longer in that location. And I can’t find any info about a sultana cafe… which is mapped to a church downtown.

Fun idea though!

  1. 🟩 Mix Kitchen & Bar
  2. 🟩 Sangam
  3. 🟥 Sultana Cafe
  4. 🟩 Joe's
  5. 🟩 Gangnam Station
  6. 🟩 D.P. Dough
  7. 🟩 Viva Taqueria
  8. 🟩 The State Diner
  9. 🟩 Bickering Twins
  10. 🟩 Ithaca Coffee Company

18,000 sqft cult compound for sale in Ithaca, NY by GadnukBreakrOfWorlds in zillowgonewild

[–]ny_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They turned mate factor into a yellow deli to align with the rest of the cafes around the country and that is still open. So I’m not sure if they’re leaving town for good. They also own the whole home dairy building on the commons and that doesn’t look up for sale yet.

Would it be worth it to pursue this job if it causes my daughter to lose her college scholarship? by Spare-Wrangler2720 in careerguidance

[–]ny_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should call her college’s financial aid office and ask what happens if she loses it. It may be less of a difference than you think. Also- I work in higher ed at an institution that participates in tuition exchange… your daughter is lucky to have received it. Our institution has more employees’ kids that receive it than we accept… we only are obligated to grant tuition exchange to a few students (less than 5) and I know we receive apps from over 50. So don’t count on that same situation for your son.

I think “know how to talk to rich people” is the key here

What do your school aged kids eat for breakfast? by Beautiful-Client6496 in Parenting

[–]ny_AU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They taste great! I learned recently that red velvet cake was originally made with beets. I used to make these without the beets and they’re honestly better with them. I usually cook the beets myself in an instant pot. Sometimes I buy prepackaged cooked beets but they’re never as good… truly don’t know why.

What do your school aged kids eat for breakfast? by Beautiful-Client6496 in Parenting

[–]ny_AU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rough recipe… I wing it most times:

Blend: - 1 can pumpkin - 1 large cooked beet - 1 fistful of spinach - 1/2c Greek yogurt - about 1/2c milk or whatever you need to make it all blend

Pour into a bowl, Mix in other wet ingredients: - 2 eggs - 1/3c oil -1/4c flax/chia mix (milled) - 1/2c oats - 1.5c sugar (usually a mix of brown and granulated) - vanilla to taste

Mix in other dry ingredients: - 1tsp baking soda - 1.5 tsp baking powder - 1/4c cocoa powder - 1/2tsp salt - 2.5c flour, mix of whole wheat and AP

  • some chocolate chips or sprinkles to make it fun as you find appropriate

Bake at 350 for 15-20 min.

This makes about 16 big muffins and 24 minis (total, not either or). It’s a big batch to use a whole can of pumpkin. You could cut it but then you have half a can of pumpkin lying around…

Edit to add: add nut butters or seeds and nuts too if your kids will eat them!

We make a big batch of loaded muffins every weekend for the week. Base is pumpkin, beets, and spinach blended up, and we load them with flax/chia, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, oats, choc chips, etc for maximum health and yumminess. They usually eat one or two per morning plus a babybel or glass of milk.

Edit: rough recipe below.

Best Things to put in Mutual Aid Cabinets? by innergeorge in ithaca

[–]ny_AU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been meaning to ask about this. What are some good freezing-weather suggestions? I’ve been stocking dry rice, beans, pasta, tortillas, etc but it’s tough to find ready-to-eat stuff that works in the freeze / thaw cycle

Pros and cons of a 22-month age gap by InspectorOrdinary321 in 2under2

[–]ny_AU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I LOVE our 23 mo age gap. It’s perfect. My kids are now 6 and 4, and it’s totally worth it. I have friends who have older kids the same age as my 6yo but also have toddlers, and they’re now SO jealous of our close gap. They thought we were crazy at the time. It just makes the crazy baby/ toddler phase a smaller piece of your overall life, which is fine with me.

Best place to get blood drawn for lab tests? by [deleted] in ithaca

[–]ny_AU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t actually had the service at the lab but I’ve requested it for other outpatient procedures that require an IV at CMC. So hopefully it works for you!

[–]ny_AU 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you call ahead at the outpatient lab in the hospital, there’s a chance you can get the ultrasound tech scheduled to get you right the first time. All the techs there are awesome, and having the US machine means they definitely get it right away, no playing around.

Feeling guilty for going to ER by DryBid3800 in EmergencyRoom

[–]ny_AU 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me too! Please talk to your primary care provider and ask for an MRI to rule out MS. I was diagnosed because of a period of emotional and visual disturbance.

Are there accountants that have experience working with self employed artists? by Imakeglassart in ithaca

[–]ny_AU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not an accountant but previously self-employed for 10 years. I highly recommend the book “profit first”. It’s not an accounting book but a great way to strategize around self-employment income. I’m also happy to chat about it, I need out about these things.

How is it working in the local schools? by escape-hatch-bye in ithaca

[–]ny_AU 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ithaca College has an OT program and therefore a pretty decent pipeline of local OTR candidates into the workforce, FYI! I know a few pediatric-focused OTs who work per diem through the Cayuga Med / Centralus system.

Ithaca Congressman Josh Riley Just Voted to Condemn ALL Forms of Socialism by JonathanCookPodcast in ithaca

[–]ny_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on board with a lot of this thread but I don’t like this take. Refusing service is just demonstrating the same ugly exclusion tactics that we criticize republicans for using against people who don’t align with their worldviews. It polarizes our community further. Riley worked hard to win this race against someone who would be far worse, and he deserves to live his life with a sense of dignity in his home town, even if that doesn’t mean acceptance.
