The Ithaca Farmers Market is ICONIC. There are a number of amazing food vendors that we love including Macro Mamas (only there on Saturdays-get the peanut lime noodles!), Solaz Breakfast Burritos and the Cambodian spot. Shop the rest of the market for local, homemade items. Stop to eat on the dock and just take in the lake. Its beautiful!

Taughannock has the second largest waterfall in New York State after Niagara Falls! Park near the entrance and do the flat, easy trail to the waterfall. Its beautiful!!! On summer weekends, it will be busy, but its worth it. Across the street you can park and sit on the lake and swim! Tons of fun!

Sightseeing
If you are wanting to go on a wine tour or out-of-Ithaca adventure, we highly recommend you do it on Seneca Lake! The wines are excellent from the local wineries such as Damiani, Atwater and Finger Lakes Distilling. Also on that drive you can stop at the Stonecat Cafe and Danos. And the views along the way are breathtaking!

This is a local hard cider maker just outside of town. You can visit their orchard, drink cider and have light snacks. The view is beautiful and in the summer you can pick flowers. Local tip: on Saturday mornings in the summer, one of our friends, Lara Green, teaches a delightful, gentle yoga class at 10AM. This location is also very close to Lickbrook Falls which is a steeper hike with a waterfall at the bottom!
