  • Ithaca Is It!
    Ithaca Is It! By Brette McWhorter Sember Looking for a weekend getaway for the family? Ithaca is a great destination for families and is conveniently located at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, about an hour and a half from Buffalo. Home to Cornell University and Ithaca College, it is a college town with diverse cultural opportunities. Ithaca has a city feel to it, but a relaxed country attitude. Ithaca has a huge assortment of accommodations, from a large quantity of bed and breakfasts to hotels and motels. The Holiday Inn Executive Tower (222 South Cayuga Street, 607-272-1000) is in the heart of the city and is in an ideal location as many things are within walking distance. The hotel offers family suites and special promotions allowing children to eat free. It also has that family necessity - an indoor pool. Just steps away from the hotel is the Ithaca Commons (corner of West State and Cayuga Street). The Commons is a pedestrian street lined with a variety of shops, including fine handicrafts, jewelry, china, pottery, clothes, gifts, books, Christmas items, toys and a kitchen shop. There are frequent free outdoor concerts, as well as street musicians. Diverse groups of people congregate at the outdoor tables. The Commons and the surrounding streets have a wide array of ethnic restaurants for some food adventures. Not very ethnic, but still delicious, is the Home Dairy (located directly on the Commons). It serves gourmet sandwiches and delicious baked goods (try a cow cookie). Pick up some lunch to go and have a seat at one of the many outdoor tables in the Commons.
