Geneseo is a town in the Finger Lakes region of New York and is home to the State University of New York.

Those in the city can also explore arts and history at the National Warplane Museum and Livingston County Historical. You can enjoy architecture like The Wadsworth Homestead or check out Tree Creations, a growing tree house village.
One of the exciting spots of Geneseo's nightlife is the Deer Run Winery, which features a lake, vineyard, and wine tasting. Visit Main Street and check out their vibrant shopping and dining centers, like Touch of Grayce, which has been making locally made items since 1995. The city also has locations for cinema and theatre, including a drive-in theater and all kinds of festivals, tours, and events throughout the year.

Ithaca
Blessed with over 150 waterfalls within 10 miles, Ithaca is every outdoors fan’s petit haven. The most notable, and the tallest of the bunch, is the Taughannock Falls. There are hiking trails located close to the falls that will provide an amazing overlook of the falls itself, but do stay away from the water in the gorges. If hiking is not your cup of tea, perhaps a boat cruise on Lake Cayuga, which is the longest of the Finger Lakes, will offer the tranquility and peace of mind you need. For culturally-inclined tourists, don’t hesitate to take a short detour to the State Theatre of Ithaca, which offers top-tier shows and concerts that charm locals and visitors alike.
Ithaca boasts even more restaurants per capita than New York City, and its amazing food scene seems to have a little bit of everything for everyone. For the best burger in town, check out Ithaca Ale House. If Italian food is your thing, the door at Franco’s is wide open for you.
Several bus carriers conduct trips in and out of Ithaca, including Greyhound, OurBus, Flixbus and New York Trailways. Unfortunately, there are currently no Amtrak trains that go to Ithaca. The Ithaca Tompkins International Airport serves as the town’s main airport. It is located three miles northeast of the city center.
