Jetblue doesn't fly in to Ithaca, but they do fly in to Syracuse. Jennifer was nice enough to pick me up from the Syracuse airport. It's only 55 miles, but it feels a lot farther than that. Ithaca is kind of tucked away in the middle of nowhere, but it has like a dozen highways leading into it.
Moosewood
First stop was the Moosewood restaurant! Yes, the Moosewood restaurant, where it all started. If you're not familiar with Moosewood, they publish a lot of cookbooks specializing in vegetarian and vegan food. At the restaurant they have a different menu every night. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun to cook there. I had a banana curry, which sounded so strange that I just had to try it. Banana just isn't one of those things you'd think of to mix with vegetables and rice. It turned out really good, though!
