THE MOOSEWOOOD 'all natural restaurant....
..Its a small world. Now famous author, Mollie Katzen was in my homeroom in high school in Rochester New York. She went to Cornell, started the MOOSEWOOD RESTAURANT and followed the with authoring THE MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK and THE ENCHANTED BROCOLLI FOREST(artwork by Pat Dustan..also a high school pal). Mollie now has a PBS cooking show and lives in the San Francisco area. I loved the restaurant.
IN GENERAL
Ithaca is packed full of dining options with menus as diverse and varied as Sri Lankan and Cajun. The vast majority of restaurants are located in the downtown Commons area or near Cornell in Collegetown.
For Mexican, try the Commons' Viva Taqueria, where the only mistake you can make is not asking for a margarita.
Just around the corner from Viva Taqueria is Taste of Thai and its tasty Thai dishes.
For seafood, walk west along State Street. Maxi's Supper Club and Oyster Bar is located on State just a few short blocks from the Commons.
For Japanese and Korean food, Collegetown's College CafÈ is a must.
Cafes are probably the only things more plentiful than gorges in Ithaca. For your internet fix stop by Wownet CafÈ, just down the street from the Commons. In DeWitt Mall, the aquarium-themed CafÈ Dewitt also serves tasty weekend brunches.
Near Cornell, Collegetown Bagels has outdoor seating, bakes their bagels on the premises and has live music on weekends. Louie's Lunch is a local hangout for Cornell students.
