The Green Dragon Ithaca Reviews
When finished at NYU, we enrolled in the intensive program in architecture at The School of Art Architecture and Planning at Cornell. We needed a place to relax, hangout and listen to music 🎶. The Green Dragon Cafe is the perfect place for on campus relaxation 😎. We spent hours studying so we found a special place on campus at Cornell. Playing Guitar 🎸and listening to live music 🎶 performed by well known bands is one of the reasons we love ❤️ the Green Dragon Cafe. My fiancé played rock and roll 🎸 on his guitar at the Green Dragon entertaining other students while taking a course in structures. A visit to Ithaca isn’t complete without a stop at The Green Dragon Cafe.
A wonderful iniosyncratic subterranean gathering place for lovers of architecture and planning. Many hours happily spent here.

This cafe is very cute but it is hard to find. It is in the basement of the building so if you go inside on either side of the central entrance there are these staircases that look like they’re going to a creepy basement but they actually go there. Or there’s a central entrance that also looks kind of sketchy. But once you find it it’s not sketchy at all! It has an awesome aesthetic and is a great place to study or do group work.

always had that espressos before the crit
Love the atmosphere
pretty good
Good place to study/chill. The music is loud so you may want noise cancelling headphones. Many tables have power strips in the middle.
