Ithaca
Beautiful, Thinking
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 Cornell University and Ithaca College. You feel it everywhere-in our museums, our galleries, our many restaurants. You hear it in our theaters, our nightclubs, our 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 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 intense and laid-back and disdainful of convention. Ithaca is Ithaca. There's a vibe here unlike anywhere else in America.
And experiencing it is the only way to discover it.
