Concerts were in an amazingly done basement. Sound was phenomenal and so was the mood.

Awesome place with a relaxing atmosphere.

Dark dangerous joint with a wide variety of coffee/espresso drinks. Great open space for meeting, performing, open mic...

Awesome music venue and sober bar. Lots of interesting teas and seltzers. They used to sell an interesting Kava drink, but the bureaucrats in the state shut it down for some reason. Maybe they can bring it back some day. Anyway, aside from lots of unique beverages, this is an amazing place to see live music. Check out the shows playing there because it's very eclectic, so you can probably find something cool most nights!

Cute tea shop with unique and tasty drinks

The staff are incredibly friendly and mellow, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the selection of teas is excellent. They also host a great range of events from punk rock shows to story telling and open mic poetry events. If you're looking for community in Ithaca, this is a great place to start. And if you're not looking for community in Ithaca, this is a great place to do that as well.
