Life in Greater Ithaca

Ithaca, NY is known for a few different things including its natural beauty, vibrant culture, and being home to Cornell University. This region is full of so many stunning gorges and waterfalls (including Taughannock Falls which is taller than Niagra Falls!) that it has been given the slogan “Ithaca is Gorges,” a nod to its incredible landscape. It’s also in New York’s “Finger Lakes” region and has several state parks surrounding it, giving residents endless opportunities for boating, biking, kayaking, sailing, swimming, hiking, and so much more. Plus, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the Winter! Additionally, “Finger Lakes” has a wine region out here with many vineyards offering wine tastings with stunning views of Cayuga Lake. Here, locals also cherish the Ithaca Farmers’ Market, a beloved local tradition, offering fresh produce, local crafts, and delicious food in a picturesque lakeside setting. In general, this region is known for its diverse and sustainable food scene. You can find everything from casual farm-to-table restaurants to vegan and international cuisine. With Cornell and Ithaca College taking up residence in this region, you get the best of small-town life paired with the cultural qualities of a larger metropolitan area. And if you love music, the festivals and live music venues will keep you dancing year-round! This gem of a place is stimulating, relaxing, and beautiful. You might never leave!
