Farm to Fork Experiences
Ithaca can be whatever you want it to be, a relaxing oasis on the rolling hillside, or a colorful and adventurous city to explore. From U-pick and family-friendly experiences, to live music and spectacular culinary experiences, Ithaca has the vibe you’re looking for. Ithaca is the perfect place to refresh yourself: Expand your taste buds, pick your own food, or wake up in a farm cottage all your own. With more restaurants per capita than NYC, numerous wineries/cideries/breweries/distilleries, artisan cheese makers, local butcher shops, and an underlying foodie culture, Ithaca is ideal for those who want a new taste of life.
