IC or CU? I'm a soph at CU, so as an undergrad I probably experience way less life outside of campus than the typical grad student, so I'm not sure how helpful I can be, but I'll try.
Food is great in my opinion, I come from the Bay Area, which is supposed to have great food (San Francisco, for ex.), and I think food in Ithaca is better than food in SF. Cheaper and higher quality, and also less pretentious. I haven't been to a ton of places, but there's a couple killer Thai places (one is kind of out of the way, the other is in the Commons), the mexican place that's on the corner is good (forget the name), and there's an Indian buffet that's pretty good too. I know there's also a chicken and waffles place, a couple american/bar places, some more expensive european places, etc. but I haven't tried any of those. For food, I would definitely avoid Collegetown (if you're at CU, idk what food places are close to IC). CU Dining halls are realllly good, as well, the West campus ones.

Ithaca has tons of headshops, if you're into that kind of thing. There's a newer one called Headdies, and they have some high-end stuff and nice local glass too. and the entire town has a Berkeley-ish vibe, you'll see a lot of hippy/weird people and they have a lot of nature/food/hippy events in the Commons.

Can't comment on the bars (I don't drink and I'm 19), but there's a couple new ones opening this year.

Hot weather sucks, wayyy too humid for me :x . the CU orchards have some delicious apples you can buy. The surrounding area is super pretty, def. check out the gorges/waterfalls and trails.

Can't think of anything else, but if you have any more q's i'll be happy to answer
 
Yea i'll be at IC. Can anyone go into the cornell dining halls?

Do you need a car in Ithaca. I was gonna go a semester using tcat.....

If you're not a student you have to pay, but yes you can still go in the dining halls. You can also ask someone for guest passes.
For the car issue, I think you can manage without. the bus system is great, and you should be able to get pretty much anywhere you need to go with it. For outside ithaca area trips, though, i guess you would have to have a car, yes.

oh and IC gets tons of cool concerts every year, whereas CU invites lame semi-famous pop singers (like Taio Cruz), so def go to those. they also had some kind of ***** event sponsored by the headshops with free stuff i wanted to go to, but ended up not going :lol:
 
on the sneaker tip theres a sb shop in the commons.owners name is andrew also carries vans and skate decks shops name is homegrown by the way theres also a footlocker at the mall in lansing.

Hey quick update to anyone who cares.

Who loves raffles, I know I do.................NOT!

Word is HOH in carousel mall/destiny USA, has to raffle all releases from after this weekend until the new year. That means pink foams, bred iv, bred xi, cg ix, durants, kobes etc. This sunday is the first raffle for pink foams, and bred iv, and I guess every sunday before any release Footlocker is making the stores do this. The rest of the details were kinda lost in confusion so as I get more info i'll be sharing.

Its actually working out nice except for the folks who havent been paying attention. Plus if you are there when the reserve period ends you can cop another pair. Pink foams a few people didnt show up which meant an extra pair.

Back to life, its been awhile. Hey anyone heading to rochester they have a show this Sunday the 31st?
