Come enjoy the power of light in winter & explore the culinary prowess of Downtown Ithaca restaruants!
Downtown Ithaca’s Lights & Bites presented by Tompkins Trust Company will return December 4 – 12, 2020.
This year, Bite of Ithaca has teamed up with Winter Lights to bring a bright, delicious and safely, socially distant 10-day celebration to Downtown Ithaca in early December.
Outside, light installations will brighten the Ithaca Commons pedestrian mall on East State Street and showcase how creativity can enliven this space.
Visitors can wander among and interact with the exhibits.
Inside, restaurants will be offering $5 bite-sized menus for foodies to explore new cuisines and discover restaurants they have never tried in Downtown. Bite Menus at many of the participating restaurants will be available for dine-in and take-out.
