Ithaca, NY

Nestled in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes Region, Ithaca is a thriving, culturally diverse city of 30,000. Home to Cornell University and Ithaca College, the population doubles during the school year, attracting scholars, students, and visitors from around the globe. Fantastic restaurants, museums and galleries, and plentiful shops dot the downtown Commons. Award-winning theater, music, and performing arts organizations stage frequent summer events.

Ithaca is best known for its natural beauty, however. Home to six state parks, 10 waterfalls, some reaching heights over 200 feet, several hundred miles of hiking and nature trails, and Cayuga Lake, Ithaca is an outdoor paradise.
