On the Grid : Glenwood Pines
"The Pines, as it's known locally, is an Ithaca staple for burgers. From the outside it doesn't look like much, your standard roadside diner, but inside has a charming family friendly atmosphere with long tables and arcade games - the kind of place kids of all ages love. The fries are perfect, which is important in a burger joint. They have what's known as the Pinesburger Challenge - eat 4 Pinesburgers in an hour and you get a t-shirt and your picture on the wall of fame. Or shame. One is enough since they're served on Ithaca Bakery's French bread - yikes!" - St. John Design Group
