Best of Cornell and Ithaca

Best Pizza

Collegetown Pizza

Well, we certainly don’t need to tell you where it is, but you may have trouble finding it behind the throngs of people who gather there around 1 a.m.

Best Hamburger

Rulloff's

In one of the tighest categories, this Collegetown restaurant/bar won out in the end.

Honorable Mention: Glenwood Pines

Best Place to Hear Live Music

The Nines

This Collegetown bar is even accessible to students between 18 and 21 on certain nights.

Honorable Mention: ABC Café

Best Coffee

Off Campus: Stella's

One of the few double winners, Stella’s brews some mean coffee and espresso drinks, complete with cute names.

On Campus: Gimme!

It’s local, it’s yummy, and it’s always brewed well. Can’t it be in every café and cafeteria at Cornell?

Best Dessert

Madeline's

This Commons restaurant may serve dinner, but it is certainly most memorable for its wine and sweets.

Best Fries

Curly Fries, Ivy Room

This pay-as-you-go eatery in the Straight has some of the best fries we’ve ever tasted. More seasoning, please.

Honorable Mention: Sweet Potato Fries, the Terrace in Statler

Best Place to See a Movie

Cornell Cinema

Ithaca boasts its fair share of movie theaers, old and new, but Cornell Cinema will always have a special charm. It

might be the hard, velvet seats. It might be the student discount. But the eclectic and often unusual selection of

films is simply the best around.

Best C-Town Bar

Rulloff's

This was a heavily contested category, but this Collegetown restaurant/bar is frequented by Sun editors and staff,

especially when we’re looking for some tequila sunrises.

Best Place to Get a Drink Midweek

Stella's

This Collegetown restaurant/coffeeshop/bar works for us at all hours of the day and night.

Best Japanese Food

Plum Tree

This Collegetown restaurant may often seem like a bar on

Friday and Saturday nights, but don’t be mistaken. They serve

some of the best food in Collegetown — cooked and raw.

Best Brunch

Carriage House

This Stewart Avenue coffeeshop/restaurant with

baked goods to go can satisy your every need, but

no time is better than brunch here.

Best Soup

Temple of Zeus

Students and faculty

alike clamor so much

about soup from this

cafe in Goldwin Smith

that some arrive before

breakfast just to get a

taste. Note: Temple of

Zeus is not affiliated

with Cornell Dining.

Best Place to Work Out

Noyes Community Center

This new West Campus facility

offers some of the “least

dingy” equipment around.

However, plan your gym schedule

accordingly, as this gym is

often packed with sweaty

Cornellians.
