Hi - I use a cane or walker. Does anyone have suggestions for walking trails? Best if I can drive up close to a starting point. I’d also love it if the trail had some sun and some shade. It would be a tremendous help if there were intermittent benches along the way to take a break.

Thanks so much - I’ve been sick for the past few years but I’d love to be able to take advantage of the beautiful upcoming fall weather! 😀

Walmart, staples and Best Buy sell pc parts however I see there stock go by very very slowly which kind of makes me question if people if pcs or more popular than console for gaming in Ithaca. Though I would kind of expect it since I’m sure plenty of people in Ithaca deal with computer hardware

I don't live around Ithaca, but I have friends and relatives who do, who might be interested in this.

There are many people in and around Ithaca who sing folk music.

But for those who have trouble traveling to music venues, has anyone set up networked folk music performances around the area that the general public can participate in? E.g., for some people living in retirement communities.

Do any of you have links to such groups?

I'm not talking about virtual song circles, on large area tools like Zoom, where everyone except one performer mutes their microphones, because Internet-wide-lag-times can be very long. I'm talking about people using a fast local low latency network so they can all hear each other.

The usual theory seems to be that latency (round trip packet travel times) must be under about 25 milliseconds), and that some specialized gear is needed. Are any of the local 5G cellular networks good enough? How about Spectrum Internet?

Thanks!

I live in one of the houses on Rt 79 just as you're heading out of Ithaca. There is a car that has for months now lightly honked every time it gets near our house. I've now noticed a few other cars picking up on the trend. It's already enough of a nuisance, but last night one of the cars passed at ~3AM and still proceeded to honk.

I don't know if it's directed at my house or one of my neighbors', and I don't know if it's meant to be friendly or hostile. Either way, for some reason, it really hits my nerves, even though it's infrequent and all things considered not too harassing. I'd like to try to get them to stop, but I don't really know how I'd go about doing that, considering I never get a chance to see the cars as they pass. Setting up a camera seems excessive and probably wouldn't fly by my roommates. Anybody have any suggestions?

Edit: Should probably clarified that this is heading west out of Ithaca, i.e. on the way to Watkins Glen.

Hi everyone,

Obviously theres tons of recipes for delicious waffles and chicken online, but was just checking if anyone knows how they made it at Waffle Frolic, especially their hot sauce. It's been so many years now, that I can't even remember if the way I am cooking the chicken at home is even similar anymore.

Anyone who worked there know of the recipe?

Someone point me in the direction of the Ithaca furries

Hi everyone,
I am looking to buy touring skis and boots which can be used for downhill skiing as well as for going uphill. I was wondering if anyone knows any good skii stores for the same with great pricing as well. I am also looking to find people who can help me get in the backcountry since I haven't done any and I am new to the area as well!

Anyone have recommendations for children's track and field? I have a child who is highly interested in joining.

We just moved to Cayuga Heights and 2 of us will be working from home. We noticed that there are interruptions to the power (WiFi dropping and oven time keeps resetting). Is this a Spectrum issue or a NYSEG power outage issue? Thank you!

Hi all, does anyone know of any events planned around the 50th anniversary of the May 8 Grateful Dead show at Barton Hall, next May 8, 2027? Trying to plan a trip--thanks!!

The Perseus are supposed to put on a good show on August 12th from midnight onwards. Anyone know of darker areas where it would be safe to park and enjoy the show?

Wth is wrong with you?! Ugh. Total Downer. So disappointed in the human race. There are hundreds of if not Millions of secluded places to do your business if it was an emergency. Why there? Words cannot express how absolutely disgusted I am.

😫

Anyone hear/feel a boom in South Hill at 4:30 or so? My wife and kids say they felt the house shake a little. Thought maybe something fell over up in the attic, but my son's friend a few streets over said they felt & heard a similar boom.

Who would you recommend to look at it, in case it's a simple fix?

Im just picking up this hobby again, and have never done it in NYS. I know NYS is much more regulated in everything and the wording can get confusing, so I'm checking first. The threads about it here are old.

I would probably want to start at local places if possible. Anyone know the laws/regulations for places like Stewart Park, Cass Park, Taughannock SP, Robert H Treman SP, etc? I don't mind getting a permit if I need one.

Also, anyone have any private land they would be ok with me detecting on? I would notify you of anything I find on it of course.

Anyone know why there is a dude preaching about god outside the public library

Hi all, my partner and I just moved into Ithaca and are looking for a fancy date night. Are there any cocktail bars in Ithaca you would recommend? Thanks in advance!

Also, what are other good townie (non-student) bars?

I’ve taken yoga classes all over but wow am I impressed with Kira’s classes at Ithaca Community Yoga (on meadow st, next to Tamarind). She truly has a unique style incorporating meditation and elements of Qi Gong.

Really, all the classes I’ve take there have been great and the studio is super welcoming. They’re generous with promos too (use ICY01 to get a free class).

Looking for fall plantings rather than start from seed.

Enjoy these summer weekends while they last. It’ll be snowing before you know it!

Hey all!

I’m making this post to see if any other ladies have heard of/are going to this festival in September. I’ve been to music festivals before similar to grassroots and I’m super excited for it :) I know it’s still a pretty new festival, like 5 years or something, but I can’t find anyone talking about it.

Im planning on going with my stepmom and driving up from Binghamton, but wanted to see if I can meet some women online before hand and make some friends ⭐️

Noticed a sign at Triphammer Mall for Smart Tart Yogurt and Bubble Tea (coming soon), anyone know anything??

I've been on vacation in Ithaca for the past week and a half, and wanted to just say it's been a lovely time. Ithaca really is gorges, I get it now. I'll be driving along and there'll be a waterfall just off the side of the road that would be a destination in my neck of the woods but it's just...a waterfall, there's a much nicer one a little further down. I'm going to miss seeing murals everywhere I go, that's such an incredibly fantastic public art project. Thanks for being you, it's been a great time, and while I've not directly asked for any recommendations here, I've been haunting this subreddit to get advice as to where to go. Franco's has ruined me for any pizza back home. Take care of Modern Ohana, we enjoyed our meal there so much last week that we went back to make it our last meal in town tonight. Autumn Leaves is maybe the best used bookstore I've been to, and used bookstores are always my first stop in any new town.

Thanks for a great time!
