Lawdwaz Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I may be spending a weekend in Ithaca soon and wondered if anyone could recommend any better dining places? Things to see while there? What park is nicer for a visit? Buttermilk Falls or Taughannock Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Lucky Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I would recommend the boatyard for a good dinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpkot Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I camped at treeman state park 2 years ago. Very nice trail system in that park. We hiked Taughannock Falls , an easy but very enjoyable hike. Cool history on how they named the waterfalls. Have fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot 327 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 For the record it's Treman (named for the donor of the land) State Park, not "treeman. Also, there is Treman Marine Park in Ithaca in addition to the SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 buttermilk and treman for a hike .usually hike them both the same day.

Things to see while there? What park is nicer for a visit? Buttermilk Falls or Taughannock Falls. Expand What type of food do you like? There are many options here. Simeons on the commons, the Rook, too many to name. Taughannock is great, may be a little better, also Treman park just south of buttermilk is awesome also. The lower park now has rainbows spawning in it from the lake. Cornell campus is really beautiful and the ithaca falls on the east end is a must. It's located in fall creek neighborhood. Also loaded with spawning fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is finger lakes land trust spots as well as the finger lakes trail. You at least gotta tell me what level dining, we have great food but also swanky spots because of cornell. Every type of Asian cuisine, no great steaks anymore but everything else. Imo boatyard has fell off, its very cisco truck, but around the comons are some Gems.

Kmartinson Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Simeons on the commons is great and we love the raw bar. The Heights Cafe in Cayuga Heights and the Ranic golf club restaurant I think its called Parrilla now. All fine as #(ck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
