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 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 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.
