Ithaca
Home to both Cornell University and Ithaca College, eclectic Ithaca is the multicultural and intellectual capital of the central Finger Lakes region. The diverse restaurant scene and array of arts venues contribute to Ithaca's urbane air. And the setting, amid steep hills and waterfalls at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, is spectacularly beautiful.
