The "Dairy Bar"on campus for ice cream, also on campus in the art museum is a sofa overlooking the lake, nice for a nap.
On the way to the falls is Glenwood Pines, for a burger! or Cornell chicken sandwich. And don't forget the hawks nest on Tower Rd. to see Big Red and RT raising baby hawks!

Beware. My rent has increased over $225 in Ithaca in 2 years. Apartment rents are out of control here. Can’t afford the rent, can’t afford to move. They got me!

Edit. Is there any organization where one can get some relief for this?
