Sunny Days truly captures the spirit of Ithaca, just like I've seen mentioned in other reviews. The…read morestore is absolutely adorable, and I love that they have an upstairs and an additional section selling Ithaca-based merch. I visit every so often when I'm in town simply because of how cute it is. I was happy to see they sell some local products, like a hot sauce I previously found at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. Their book selection is also charming - I spotted a bathroom check-in book for guests to fill out, which I thought was such a fun idea. If you're visiting Ithaca and looking for local or homemade goods, Sunny Days is definitely the place to check out! :)

Tried these at the farmer's market! Very yummy!…read more We tried the blueberry one with lemon icing and the spanakopita. The blueberry one was piping hot. Honestly these were both really good. the crust wasn't soggy and I liked trying both a sweet and a savory hand pie. I have also tried the mushroom oaxaca one which is my favorite! Overall, I would recommend!

Mama Said Hand Pies | Ithaca, NY…read more One of my favorite local food spots in Upstate New York near Cornell University! Mama Said Hand Pies is a cozy local spot in Ithaca serving handmade savory and sweet pies made with locally sourced ingredients and baked fresh daily. Sausage Gravy, Egg & Cheddar Pie (Recommend ) Filled with chicken sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and white cheddar wrapped in an incredibly flaky, buttery pastry crust. The crust had a rich buttery flavor without feeling greasy, and the savory filling made every bite so comforting. Mushroom Pie (Recommend ) Packed with sautéed mushrooms and served with a green sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even need the sauce because the pie was already flavorful on its own. Pepper Jack Beef Pie Filled with ground beef, pepper jack cheese, and curry-like spices. This one wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband really enjoyed it!

Conveniently located by a bookkeeping service and the Tompkins County DMV is a strip mall, parking was easy. It was early so only us and two other tables. The hostess/server was very nice. We ordered the spring rolls and pad Thai. They were good. This place is not fancy and has a very limited menu. The atmosphere is enhanced by many lights overhead strung across the ceiling. The price is definitely right. All in all, a good choice for an early meal.

You'll find the staples for your next Korean feast, but you might feel the sting in your wallet afterward -- prices are definitely on the higher side. It's not the kind of place where you load up a cart and feel like a budget-savvy hero, but it's convenient if you're in the area and don't feel like trekking to a larger store. Overall, Green Castle does the job, but it's more of a 3/5 kind of market: handy in a pinch, but you probably won't be writing home about it. Unless you're writing this review.

Yeah, the greenhouse is…read morenice (though a lot of generic plant options), but I was looking forward to seeing what would be inside the store. There was just... not much going on. As someone who loves searching for unique and interesting items - whether plants/succulents or foods/sauces/condiments/etc - I was pretty disappointed with what was available at Eddydale. It just seems like they could do so much more with the space they have available. Service was pleasant enough, but also didn't require any assistance until checkout. I understand this is a common area for firewood during camping season, and sweet corn in the summer, but I feel like Eddydale is a better fit for folks camping in local parks than those who know the area.
