The restaurant fills the space that used to be Viva Taqueria which had been vacant since Viva moved across the street in the spring of last year. The Ithaca Deli will open in the old Starbucks location on East Seneca Street.

Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab of Ornithology
I first discovered Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab of Ornithology earlier this summer, when I was trying to figure out the identity of a particular bird of prey in my neighborhood. After looking at a number of birding apps, I learned that Merlin could identify over 6000 different types of birds, by listening to their calls. Not only was I impressed by the number of bird calls that it had amassed, I also liked that Cornell is located close to Buffalo, in Ithaca, NY. In fact, in recent years, Cornell has been getting more involved with Buffalo on a number of levels. For example, each year, the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Erie County hosts its spectacular Master Gardener Plant Sale at First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo.
