Our Upstate NY Travel Map will get you there.

As the Northeast summer hits that part where the weather can hardly decide whether to be sultry and smooth or cool and crisp, a sure bet for enjoying either version is Ithaca, NY. Ithaca at this time of year is truly "gorges," at least if you take the advice the town's ubiquitous punning t-shirts. Luckily, the town backs it up with lovely gorges everywhere. Even the deepest aversion to wordplay can't diminish the beauty of a town where a wrong turn down any given street will leave you dwarfed by nature's majesty.

But you'll have to act fast as students are already filtering back in to crush the tranquil small town vibe with a tidal wave of emptied 30 packs and crushed red cups.
