This NY town tops America's must-visit list
An upstate New York town has earned the top spot on CNN Travel's 2025 list of Best Towns in America to Visit. Ithaca was ranked No. 1, beating out hundreds of contenders across the country. CNN Travel evaluated towns based on a mix of factors, including food, attractions, local culture, and overall uniqueness. Ithaca's natural beauty helped secure its win. Located in the Finger Lakes region, the town is famous for its hundreds of waterfalls and gorges—including those at Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Treman State Park—inspiring the tagline 'Ithaca is gorges.' CNN also praised the town's vibrant cultural scene. Longtime favorites like the Ithaca Farmers Market and South Hill Cider (known for guided tastings and live music) offer memorable experiences. Arts and entertainment spots like the historic State Theatre, Hangar Theatre, and Cinemapolis add to the charm, while the Dalai Lama Library and Learning Center provides meditation sessions open to the public. Downtown, the Ithaca Commons is home to over 100 shops and restaurants. Ithaca's two colleges—Cornell University and Ithaca College—contribute to its diversity, creativity, and energy. Free concerts, college sports, and campus attractions like Cornell Cinema, the Cornell Botanic Gardens, and the Johnson Museum of Art enrich the town's cultural life. CNN Travel spotlighted Ithaca's cider scene, with about a dozen local producers, and its plant-based dining, inspired by nearby farms. Highlights include: Moosewood Restaurant: America's longest-running vegetarian spot Angelhearts: Known for its vegan donuts Asempe Kitchen, Tacos CDMX, Franco's Pizzeria, and New Delhi Diamond's Top places for drinks include The Watershed, The Downstairs, Liquid State Brewing Company, and Personal Best Brewing. Ithaca, New York Missoula, Montana Asheville, North Carolina Bend, Oregon Annapolis, Maryland Petaluma, California Las Cruces, New Mexico Northampton, Massachusetts Clarksdale, Mississippi Rapid City, South Dakota CNN Travel received nominations from readers and contributors, then selected 10 finalists based on several criteria: dining, attractions, scenery, travel accessibility, diversity, and each town's unique character. 'America's most interesting towns bring together the best of a beautiful country,' the report states. 'These destinations show off what makes the United States so distinctive.' This is CNN Travel's second annual Best Towns to Visit list, and this year's picks skew smaller in size—ranging from about 15,000 to 115,000 residents—but all were chosen for their individual 'wow factors' and sense of community.

Cayuga Milk Ingredients Debuts Consumer Goods Plant as Part of $270 Million Expansion of New York State Facility
DENTON, Texas, July 3, 2025 /3BL/ - Cayuga Milk Ingredients (CMI), in collaboration with Tetra Pak, a pioneer and world-leading food processing and packaging solutions company, announces the grand opening of CMI's expanded facility in Auburn, Cayuga County as part of a two-phase, multimillion-dollar expansion and investment in New York state. The ribbon-cutting event, aligned with June's National Dairy Month, featured a host of local and state leaders and was also attended by key dairy industry groups, including New York Farm Bureau, New York Animal Agriculture Coalition, Northeast Agribusiness and Feed Alliance, and the Northeast Dairy Producers Association. CMI is a unique leader in the global food market with 1.5 billion pounds of milk produced annually on 65,000 acres of fertile land. The company is owned and operated by 22 farm families with 32 farm locations in the Finger Lakes region of New York state, with a dairy ingredients portfolio that includes milk powders, protein powders and fluid milk products. With the addition of its new consumer goods dairy plant, CMI is positioning itself as a vertically integrated, premium contract manufacturing solution for fast-growing, value-added dairy products, with a commitment to maximizing their nutritional impact while minimizing environmental impact.

'Working with companies like CMI to expand their portfolio by providing innovative processing and packaging solutions for their products is energizing. We're proud to continue driving this bold new chapter for our industry with sustainable growth in mind.' Tetra Pak and CMI share a deep commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact across the food and beverage industry. Through this plant expansion, which was supported by incentives from the state, the companies are advancing shelf-stable packaging solutions that offer cost savings and production efficiencies, while reducing food waste and minimizing the environmental impact of the transportation and storage of food and beverage products. CMI has already supported over 350 construction-related jobs during the development of the plant and expects to add an additional 150 new jobs once the facility opens in fall of 2025, a workforce development win for the state's robust agricultural industry. 'The opening of our new consumer products facility marks a new chapter of possibilities, one where innovation, sustainability and responsible farming come together to shape the future of food,' said Brian Linney, CEO at CMI. 'As one of the key players in New York's significant dairy industry, we are excited to continually invest back in our county with a vertically integrated expansion that is sure to not only create meaningful opportunities for our local community but also drive economic benefits back to our state.'
