Somehow I have reached a place in my life that the town I left eight years ago no longer seems so terrible. A lot of this might be based on how pathetic the bagels are in California, and how good they are here.

Melted cheese on top of more cheese is a brilliant idea. And the bagels…. they have the perfect texture, and the flavors they have available are totally unique and delicious. I sat at a front table of the bakery, ate breakfast, and gazed out the front window at the blooming daffodils and forsythia while I woke up this morning. It was lovely and I will probably do it again tomorrow.
Ithaca Bakery has several locations; I went to 203 N. Aurora St., Ithaca NY 14850. You should too.
the step you forgot is stopping at the Gimme Coffee on State Street after that for the most delicious lattes ever.
This look delicious! I have never had muenster cheese but I will be picking some up as soon as possible!
