A legendary restaurant in Ithaca, mainly just for their consistency, quality & commitment to using fresh, local ingredients. Casual vibe with lovely, imaginative tapas. Vegan/vegetarian options. PRO TIPS: - They get busy, so plan on putting your name in (in-person) an hour before you want to eat, and go around the corner for a cocktail to wait. - Hopefully you get a great waiter, and if so, follow their recommendations!

Nice cocktail spot with an inspired menu. They have at least 1 (awesome) vegan/vegetarian option on the menu (gnocci), and great negronis. We like to sit at the bar.

Dog-friendly hikes

Quite possibly the largest dog park in NY :)
Off Leash Dog Park
Quite possibly the largest dog park in NY :)
When heading into the park, take your first right just before the toll booth. Drive yo the hill a bit til you see a trail on your left. Park, and walk in. This trail connects with the main trail in Taughonnnack, but for the first bit you can get away with having your dog off-leash.
