Nightlife Spot: MANY OPTIONS
IN GENERAL
If theater is your thing, Ithaca has a number of quality performing art centers. Located just off the Commons in a white-pillared Greek Revival building, The Ticket Center at Clinton House is the best place to begin (left). Open Monday through Saturday, tickets to local events can be purchased at the Ticket Center.
Also located in the Clinton House is the Kitchen Theater, which houses contemporary plays and new acts. Ithaca also hosts performances by the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra and the Ithaca Opera Association.
During the summer months, the Hangar Theater, on Route 89 about five to ten minutes drive from downtown Ithaca, presents a varied series of different productions.
Being home to a major university and a number of small colleges means there's no shortage of nighttime activities. A walk along College Avenue will provide a sampling of what Collegetown has to offer.
-Try Stella's Martini Bar, which has live music two nights a week.
-Just off College Ave on Stewart Avenue, stop by the Chapter House Brewpub for its fifty-one taps of microbrews and imports. .
State Street has a number of options, especially along its intersections with Aurora and Cayuga Streets.
Chanticleer, on the corner of State and Cayuga, is hard to miss.
Just up the road, Simeon's on the Commons offers a "sophisticated bar menu."
You can also avoid the bar scene altogether and bowl a few racks at Ide's Bowling Lanes or catch a flick at the Cinemapolis on East State St.
