Ithaca, continued
Y'all should come visit me. I'm in an apartment with hardwood floors, I have an honest-to-god spare bedroom, and there are more restaurants here per capita than there are in Manhattan. Also there is a lake, and rental canoes for a day for $20. And there are falls, and hiking areas, and a seriously cool farmers market, and earl grey-lime sorbet.

Total miles walked = 6.2
Total brioche cinnamon pecan buns purchased = 0. Woe! Just Desserts was out of them by the time I got there.
Total Wegmans visited = 1. It was on the way back from the bank, and I was curious. It's not as cool as people billed it, and I'll stick with my co-op.
Total local organic ground turkey purchased = 0. Tragic! The local meat store was all out. (The proprietor did sell me on ground buffalo, though. Local ground buffalo. I want to know where they keep the buffalo. I mean, upstate New York does not make me think "ahh, the vast herds of buffalo!" Also, buffalo is fun to say.)
I think I will spend too much money on food here, as I now live in a place where it is fun and easy to shop for local-and-organic. In Philadelphia, it was frequently a pain in the ass; you had to bus, or walk huge distances, and then it was expensive or not ripe or whatever. Here, I walk half a mile and -- hey, an organic convenience store! They sell organic tofu produced here! I must have some! And so on.

OTOH, I am told that there's a pheasant farm near Buffalo, which is nearly as cool.
