What to do in Ithaca - Suggestions?

[shariperkins]

Next weekend Jared and I are going on a long weekend trip to Ithaca together. I haven't been back for six years (!!), so I'm not up to date on activities in the area. Can you make suggestions for some fun things to do over a weekend, which don't require a car (we're taking a bus in and then staying at a B&B).

I'm not sure about getting around without a car, but some of our favorite things to do include a winery visit (they do have bus tours...), eating at Just A Taste on the Commons, and wandering the Commons... spending time in one or more state parks (personal favorites are Buttermilk and Taughannock), maybe doing a gorge trail (I really like the Treman/Enfield gorge trail; Taughannock has a super easy stroll to the falls; Buttermilk has good trails too)... doing a walking tour of Cornell and the Plantations... visiting the Dairy Bar... I've never organized a trip myself, but you can go sailing from the marina... the special collections in Kroch Library... there's the Johnson Museum... maybe catch a show at the Hangar Theatre?... the Sciencenter for nostalgic kid fun... if you're over on the Taughannock/wineries side of the lake, there's Cayuga Lake Creamery for still more ice cream... silly as it is, I'd never miss stopping into Wegmans and the State Diner... Gimme Coffee is near there too... there's some Ithaca history museum not too

What B&B did you stay in? Did you like it? We are considering doing something like that for an affordable honeymoon.
