When Eric Met Rachel...
Living It Up In Ithaca
May 31, 2008
Harry: Suppose nothing happens to you. Suppose you lived out your whole life and nothing
happens. You never meet anybody, you never become anything, and finally you die in one of those
New York deaths which nobody notices for two weeks until the smell drifts into the hallway.
Even though Ithaca is in the middle
of nowhere, there is an abundance of
good food, quality arts, and gorgeous
gorges.  Below are some of the truly
unique offerings of Ithaca that we
particularly enjoy.

Fresh Air

Ithaca is widely known for its beautiful parks, waterfalls, and gorges.  
As May offers the best chance for beautiful Ithaca weather, we
strongly advise you to take advantage and GET OUTSIDE!

Taughannock Falls Park
Taughannock Falls State Park's
namesake waterfall is one of the
outstanding natural attractions of the
Northeast. Taughannock Falls plunges
215 feet past rocky cliffs that tower
nearly 400 feet above the gorge.

The park offers fishing, hiking, a nature
