Places to eat in Ithaca

[joecct]

OK

I asked Kepler if he knew any good places to eat in Ithaca, but he's been away for a while.  I'm doing a program review @ the USDA location in early June and would like some good places to eat.  My team is coming in on June 6 and leaving the following Friday.

So, where are good places to eat?  My sole eating experiences in town have been grab & sit @ Lynah.

Thanks!!

Ah! The proto-typical off-season thread. I have a feeling this will get the forum going.

What type of place are you looking for? Lots of diversity in the Ithaca dining scene.

I like beef, hate fish and anything exotic, so no Thai, Mongolian, Chinese, or anything excessively spicy.

Can't beat the nines for deep dish.

Boatyard grill is pretty good.

if you want artery clogging chicken wings, Wings Over Ithaca has a flavor of wings for everyone.

Ruloff's also has pretty good burgers.

Cafe DeWitt for weekend brunch and the Glenwood Pines for a burger. If you want to spend a bit and don't mind a bit of a drive, try Hazelnut Kitchen in Trumansburg.

Antlers in Route 366.

Antlers in Route 366.

It is still there? Wow. The Antlers was one of my favorites when I was there in the 90's. In fact, that is where we went for dinner after my PhD defense. B-]

We used to go there during finals when I was a soph (79-80),  It was called The Stables when I went the first time in winter '78.

Antlers was great - hope it still is.  And Joe your name used to be the place in town - Joe's.  But I guess it changed ownership and isn't as good.  And don't forget popcorn at Dunbars if you only have enough money for beer.  Ithaca Bakery is great for lunch.  Moosewood is worth a try if you're open to vegetarian cuisine.  Ruloff's is a good place for a date - took my future wife there on our first date!  (she had the fajitas and liked them)

Joe's isn't bad, it is just seems like an Olive Garden knockoff, at least for dinner.

My choice in C'Town is the Souvlaki House on Eddy St., just down the hill from Dunbars.  My favorite pizza in Ithaca and great Greek food, too.

With all due respect to the people who enjoyed Joe's when they were in Ithaca, the first time I was unfortunate enough to end up at an Olive Garden, I thought "this reminds me of Joe's."

The calzones there are pretty great (and large) also.

I don't suppose that Hot Truck food is available in the off-season?

I still eat a nice meal at about 1 AM.

Probably at ShortStop.  Which for purists like you, Roy, means no.

It's just not as good at Shortstop. And they give you funny looks when you order something atypical. It does scratch the itch though.
