BERNSTEIN | You should love Ithaca

There’s nothing I hate like when Cornellians don’t love Ithaca.

There’s nothing I hate like when Cornellians don’t love Ithaca.
Let the seasons and holidays be seasons and holidays again. Don’t lose them in the mire of internship hunts and prelims.
The local restaurant in Pennsylvania where I worked was easily defined by seasons. The year started off in a barren winter. The garden beds out front were hugged in snow, the thermostat dropped low and customers, especially after a holiday shopping spree, were scarce. I’d find myself staring at the clock, willing it to chime closing time, 2:00 p.m. Winters were scarce of many things: Fresh food, warmth, entertainment, customers and, most importantly, tips. I never liked winters in the restaurant very much.
