Downtown Ithaca is a charming, pedestrian-only area with lively energy, artistic vibes, and, of course, amazing restaurants. Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a coffee break, you can spend the whole day eating through Downtown Ithaca.
Ithaca's diversity means there is a world of flavors to discover — from Mexican and Jamaican to Japanese and Korean and everything in between! Many local restaurants take pride in offering farm-to-table cuisine, while others cater to dietary preferences and restrictions, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
On the go? Stop by one of the several food trucks in the area for an afternoon pick-me-up. On a warm spring or summer day, grab a meal at one of the many outdoor dining patios in Downtown Ithaca Commons. Or, if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion, Downtown Ithaca also boasts several fine dining spots. Round out your evening with a nightcap at one of Downtown’s many charming bars and cocktail lounges.
