Hundreds of independent specialty shops and boutiques along with more than a dozen art galleries make downtown Ithaca a mecca of urban culture.
The Ithaca Commons – a unique pedestrian center lined with some of the city’s most historic architectural facades – is the centerpiece of Ithaca’s engaging social and civic life. Just a short stroll away is the Dewitt Mall, a historic building housing a broad collection of locally-owned specialty shops, and Press Bay Alley, a series of micro-retail spaces that includes shopping, an espresso bar and ice cream.
Few centers of commerce and culture are closer to natural beauty than downtown Ithaca. During the warmer months, attend an outdoor concert at Dewitt or Stewart Park, follow a walking trail to one of Ithaca’s many waterfalls and visit the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, one of the beautiful Finger Lakes!
Enjoy a festival for every season hosted on the brick-paved walkways of the Ithaca Commons. Catch a film at Cinemapolis, a distinctive movie venue and art house, or watch a performance at the beautifully renovated, regionally renowned State Theatre.
Touted in the New York Times as one of America’s “Best Emerging Cities,” Ithaca is unquestionably the ideal playground for all.
Locally owned and operated by Bettsie Park and Ken Jupiter since 1982, 15 STEPS is a favorite with both locals and visitors alike. 15 STEPS is known throughout the region for their collections of extraordinary jewelry and American crafts. In addition to these collections, 15 STEPS features personal care products and locally made chocolates.

The Shoe Cottage was a family start up business in 1995 in a modest space on the outskirts of downtown Ithaca. Our goal at the time was to offer only the affordable quality footwear for men and women that was unobtainable elsewhere in the surrounding area. Our business flourished beyond our expectations and in 2000 we moved to a newly renovated store just steps from our old location that tripled our size. In 2019, we moved our store to the Ithaca Commons.
About 4 years ago, with the demand for more brands and styles for our women customers, we decided to eliminate our men’s line of footwear and focus entirely on women’s brands, which has turned into another huge success. When you come to visit us you will be greeted by Cindy (the business owner of 20 years) or her daughter-in-law Heather, who also has invaluable knowledge of trends, styles and sizing as she has been with us for the last 10 years, or possibly Tracy and Suzi who have also been with us many years with their expertise in precise footwear sizing and fitting. Unlike the department store atmosphere, we gladly bring your selections to you from our vast inventory of over 3,000 pairs. Being independent and family owned also allows us the opportunity to give purchases of multiple pairs a nice discount if you have trouble making up your mind on exactly which pair looks best.

For 23 years, Trader K’s – located on the beautiful Ithaca Commons – has been buying, selling and trading gently-used clothing and accessories to the Ithaca community and beyond.

Trader K’s and Trader K’s 2 have grown to be known and loved as two of the largest independently-owned used clothing stores in New York State.
Trader K’s pride itself on looking through each and every piece of clothing that comes in to make sure you get the best selection, quality and prices it have to offer. Trader K’s puts out 500 to 1,000 pieces of clothing a day at each location so inventory changes daily. Every shopping trip to trader K’s and Trader K’s 2 is different from the last!
With the option of cash or trade, you can choose what best suits you and your lifestyle when selling items for our stores. Trader K’s carries men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, accessories and even toys, so there is something for everyone at Trader K’s and Trader K’s 2.
