This independent bookstore has a huge selection with 60,000 carefully chosen used books. It's where I go first when I am looking for a used book. The store also seems to have a social conscience--- there are many notices posted of political goings-on in Ithaca. And, there is a cafe upstairs. The best thing is that it is conveniently located right there on The Commons.

Trader K's is a used clothing store located on the Commons. They have a huge selection of women's and men's clothing and I think they may also have kids' clothes. Generally, they carry popular brands and the clothing is in fairly good shape. They also accept your used clothing in exchange for either cash or store credit. However, they are fairly strict on which types of clothing or what brands they accept, and anything that looks worn is not taken. Depending on what it is, you could get a couple bucks here and there. If you decide to take store credit, I believe you end up getting a higher cash equivalent. During certain times, if they are unable to accept your clothing you may leave it there and it will be donated.

Greenstar is definitely a supermarket that belongs in Ithaca. It is very different from your typical supermarket. I have been there twice and enjoyed my experience both times. The store is smaller than the big chains, but has a decent selection and organic and locally grown food.
They also have a lot of prepared foods that you can come and buy for dinner. They have a small area where you can eat in as well. While the food is a bit more expensive, you get very high quality food that you know doesn't have any "bad" stuff in it.

This is one of the stores that I really liked when I was at Cornell. It is located in Collegetown and has a good selection of Cornell apparel. The best thing about the store is that the prices are significantly lower than those of the Cornell Store. Whille the Cornell Store has a greater selection, I would definitely recommend trying to find what you are looking for at Bear Necessities. If the store doesn't have it, then go to the Cornell Store, but you can usually find what you are looking for at Bear Necessities.

Mama Goose has a really nice choice of quality used children clothing. I have a friend who does all her shopping for her 2 year old here. It must be her favorite children's clothing store because whenever I see her child wearing a cute outfit and ask her where it's from, the answer is always "Mama Goose!" The staff are friendly and helpful and they have a huge selection at very reasonable prices. There is ample parking in front.

I pruchased flowers for my wedding here! It was one of those hot, muggy days for my wedding and the flowers held up beautifully! A lot of my guests commented on the beauty of the flowers and the way that they held up. The service was good as I changed my mind several times during the process and had to have my order changed a few times. The store itself has the custom ordered flower shop and the bottom part is custom made bouquets, wreaths, and knick knacks.

The owner, David, takes time to get to know your style and then caters to that. He can make a masterpiece out of a few ideas. Definitely recommend for any occasion, especially wedding related. A plus that comes from shopping at a small business: a lifetime's worth of work without paying the add-on fees chain jewelry have. Amazing place.
Pros: Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Not pushy at all.

What a wonderful little used bookstore! This is not a chain, and therefore you won't find a starbucks and all of the other hoopla the chains have, but it is much better! The selection is different...focusing a lot on esoteric and sa few more mainstream books. They focus on high quality novels and history books versus trasky things. They have a few well worn seats, but not many. It can smell a little musty, but the books are in good condition. There are not a lot of decorations and the ambience isn't as good, but this is the place to go if you love books.

Oh how I miss this store!! This toy store carries some of the best quality toys I've seen, with everything from Playmobil to Hello Kitty!
When I lived in Ithaca there were two locations, one on the Commons and another in Pyramid Mall. I always stopped there whenever I was passing through the Commons or shopping at the Mall, because I knew I'd find something that brought a smile to my face!
If you're looking for a great gift for the young one on your shopping list, Alphabet Soup is where to go!
