Introduction to Ithaca Edit Section - Ithaca Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants
 
Ithaca's primary claim to fame (besides the fact that the name reminds us of Homer's Odyssey) is Cornell University, but its bird-filled forests, babbling brooks, impressive rocky gorges (which inspire the ubiquitous, slightly cheesy, "Ithaca is gorges" t-shirts), and proximity to the five Finger Lakes also add to its beauty and charm.

As in most college towns, its population fluctuates depending on the season. The general sentiment is left-wing and progressive (Ithaca even instituted its own town currency once), and the cobbled downtown is likely on any given night to be filled with a young, boisterous crowd. Sailboats dot adjoining Cayuga Lake, every summer the Ithaca Festival fills the place with T-shirts and fried dough and fireworks, sap runs high in the trees in February and brilliant oranges and scarlets characterize them in the fall.
