Walking: If the weather is nice, one can walk between downtown and Cornell's campus. The route includes either a steep hill (streets) or many stairs (gorge trail); however, Jason will be happy to walk anyone back downtown thru Cascadilla Gorge following meetings both days but he strongly recommends wearing good walking shoes as the route includes many uneven stairs.

Breakfast: While you can find breakfast in many places around town, the two most convenient options will be Collegetown Bagels (one block from the Hotel, at the corner of Seneca and Aurora Streets) and Manndible (in Mann Library). A slightly longer walk away is Temple of Zeus, serving vegan friendly soup and sandwiches.
The Hilton is located across the street from the Commons and a block from a number of restaurants on the Aurora Street between Seneca and State Streets. More information on restaurants coming soon.
