ITHACA, NY
Did someone say tapas?
JUST A TASTE
116 N Aurora Street
Ithaca, NY 14850
Though we've never been, this little gem on Aurora Street has all the foodies talking. Featuring traditional Spanish tapas paired with local Finger Lakes wine, Just a Taste has been nothing short of amazing on paper. Just check them out on Urbanspoon or Yelp and you'll see they seldom disappoint. Hint: they do not take reservations so you may need to get there early to enjoy the coveted patio seating!
Best of the Best
THE STONECAT CAFE
5315 New York 414
Hector, NY 14841
In a former roadside fruit stand, which preserves some old details and the original coolers, this cool, relaxed restaurant is not only the hippest joint in the area, but also one of the best. We suggest reserving a table on the deck overlooking the vineyards on Seneca Lakes east shore while enjoying the slow cooked pulled pork and a bottle of local Gewurztraminer. Oh, did we mention they often feature live Jazz.
Tacos y Margaritas por todos!
VIVA TAQUAERIA
101 N Aurora St
Ithaca, NY 14850
This place is as colorful as the fresh Californian style comida they prepare. As far as we are concerned, you need not venture past the burrito section, the slow roasted carnitas will be sure to impress, as will the margaritas. Fast, healthy and delicious!
A quick bite.
ITHACA BAKERY
400 North Meadow Street
Ithaca, NY
If you are looking for a quick bite before taking off on a Finger Lakes adventure, Ithaca Bakery is for you. It is what it's name implies and more; fresh artisan baked breads, (yes, even gluten free options), local farm to bakery meats, delicious soups, sides and local Cayuga Coffee.
Dinner in the Glen
ROOSTER FISH BREWING
223 - 301 North
Franklin Street
Watkins Glen, NY
Their beer is brewed in house with crisp, clean Seneca Lake water and their burger is raised just over the hill. The french doors in the front of the restaurant are open to the bustling summer streets of Watkins Glen in the warm months making a perfect perch to enjoy the warm summer breeze blowing in off Seneca Lake.
A small town nestled in the rolling vineyard filled hills of the New York Finger Lakes, we couldn't think of a more beautiful setting to share our love with you. We encourage you to check out some of our favorite places in the

Burgers and Beer
THE ITHACA ALE HOUSE
111 N. Aurora Street
Ithaca, NY 14850
Located in the heart of restaurant row in downtown Ithaca, the Ithaca Ale House delivers quality food in heaping portions. Great place to check out after an afternoon of shopping the commons or for some carbs after a long day on the wine trails. We suggest just about anything on the menu; it's all good and each menu item has been carefully paired with one of the over 30 beers on tap.
