Ithaca, NY All to Myself

Ithaca, NY All to Myself

I love coming back to Ithaca, NY. It’s a city where nature, people, and architecture can get on together. In a sense, it’s a model city with lots of outdoor areas and hike paths where all kinds of interesting and open-minded people can live, think, and work together.

As an introvert walker, I did not mind having the streets all to myself
Ithaca is full of public art — you’ll see electric boxes like this all over the city
A Subaru parked outside of every home? You’re definitely in Ithaca
The coziest bench on the block
Argos Inn, a charming boutique hotel with drinks served in the outdoor garden Wednesday to Saturday
Printing press, a minimal and chic shared office space and event venue
Cascadilla Gorge Trail, a beautiful path with the views of the waterfall
A funny logo design for Ithaca’s carshare company
Yoga in the park
Greenstar Food Coop is a wonderful cooperative-owned market of food, organic and local
While most of the shops in Ithaca are on snooze because of the pandemic, a new bookshop, Odyssey Bookstore, opened downtown

Puddledockers, an easy space to rent a kayak or a canoe for an exploration of Cayuga Lake. It takes around 25 minutes to reach the lake’s mouth from here

A fairytale, all to yourself
