Ithaca is famous as the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College. It has been listed as \"the most enlightened small city in America\". It has also been recognized as one of the best places for families, retiring, non-traditonal lifestyles, and a culinary destination for those interested in artesian fresh locally produced foods and wines.
Carved by glaciers Ithaca\'s gorges are justifiably famous for their beauty and accessibility. The Finger Lakes contribute to the health of local agriculture and viniculture.
Within a few hours drive from most of the northeast\'s major population centers, Ithaca is a green retreat where the pace is slow enough to allow for real relaxation while the arts scene, wineries, and hiking provide excitement.
Ithaca is most easily reached by car, although their are frequent flights to and from the Ithaca Airport and Ithaca is served by bus lines.
The bus system comes to the corner near the Stone Quarry House once an hour, or two the shopping plaza 2 miles away three times an hour.
Memorial Day weekend is Cornell Graduation, usually booked four years in advance. The third Thursday/Friday in August is usually move in day for new students at Cornell and Ithaca College, and every hotel room is taken by parents of new students.
Ithaca is an accepting community, family oriented, open to alternative lifestyles, with a focus on education and great locally produced food.
Every season is great! The summer is wonderful, green and lush, but winter evenings sitting before the fire after soaking in the Jacuzzi . . . it doesn\'t get more relaxing than that!
