14850 Dining

Exploring the cuisines of Asia at downtown Ithaca's Asia Cuisine

This week, 14850 Dining is enjoying the cuisines of Asia, at Asia Cuisine. This downtown restaurant specializes in Korean and Japanese dishes, but also delves a bit into Chinese items like a tangy sesame chicken.

Counting down the 14850 Dining Top 10 eateries in Ithaca for 2011

It's the end of the year, and 14850 Dining is looking back at our favorite eateries of 2011 throughout the Ithaca area. This is never an easy list to narrow down, and we wish we could get away with a top twenty!

Ithaca-area holiday dining - Who's open and closed for the holiday weekends?

Where can you dine in and around Ithaca and Tompkins County over the upcoming holiday weekends? As always, there will be a few eateries open over the Christmas and New Year weekends, and we've got details on when restaurants will be open and closed. Eateries open on New Year's Eve are shown in bold. Note that some of those are just open for dinner, not for midnight celebrations.

Aladdin's Natural Eatery will be closed December 24th through January 2nd.

Food makes a perfect gift for the holidays or any time of year!

You've gotten past Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and 14850 Dining is here to help you finish off your shopping list with both Hanukkah and Christmas coming sooner than we'd like to admit. Gifts of food are appreciated any time of year, and you'll put a smile on everyone's face with one of our local gift options.

We also love making the food come to us!

This week, 14850 Dining is huddling by the fireplace and making the food come to us. You may not realize it, but pizza delivery was pioneered right here in Ithaca over a half century ago, when Pirro's Pizza realized the ultimate convenience food could be even more convenient if they brought it to your door, and the options have expanded since then.

Saigon Kitchen brings Vietnamese to Ithaca's West End

This week, we're in Ithaca's West End, visiting Saigon Kitchen. This new Vietnamese restaurant offers affordable lunch specials, a range of meat and seafood and vegetarian dinner choices, and what we're told is perfectly respectable pho.

The fast food conundrum: value options or premium-priced specials?

We're looking this week at the seemingly opposite aims of the fast food industry: get you in the door with affordable value options, then sell you premium items for as much as possible.

Eateries and merchants offer free meals and discounts on Veterans Day

Around the country, many merchants are continuing a tradition this Friday of offering free meals and discounts to military service members and veterans to observe Veterans Day. While some are national chains that don't have outlets in Central New York, we've compiled a list for our area.

Ithaca Taste of the Nation wraps up Chef's Night Out series at Celebrations

Ithaca Taste of the Nation, the local group that hosts an annual fundraising showcase of local food and wine, is reprising its successful event to raise awareness and money to fight hunger. This fall, the organization's fourth annual "Chef's Night Out" series, bringing 15 local chefs together for a trio of special nights, wraps up on November 8th with a dinner at Celebrations.

Bandwagon Brewpub is an underground favorite in Downtown Ithaca

We're downtown this week for the second anniversary of the Bandwagon Brewpub, a downtown bar and eatery that quickly became a favorite after they opened in the fall of 2009. It's casual enough for a late-night snack and a pint, and snazzy enough to bring a date for a nice dinner, and affordable either way.
