There were a few restaurants in the area (some are still around), but it took a rerouting of Route 13 south onto Fulton Street, construction of new highway bridges, some attention from the City of Ithaca, plus state and federal agencies, and a lot of hard work to turn Ithaca's west end into the mecca of eateries it is today.
