Business After Hours at Canopy by Hilton / The Strand Café

Join us at Business After Hours!

We are excited to join our host, Canopy by Hilton Ithaca Downtown & The Strand Cafe! The scene at Strand Café, located inside the Canopy Hilton hotel, is welcoming to both locals and travelers with a relaxed yet refined vibe that will make you feel at home and in luxury. The Strand Café offers modern cuisine and works with small purveyors and the local farmer’s markets to create vegetable-driven plates and whimsical takes on familiar dishes, like their Napoleon-style pizza. The Canopy Bar prides itself on precision mixed cocktails made with high quality spirits, with outstanding local beer options, and wines that celebrate the finger lakes region. The centrally located,131-room hotel offers great views of Downtown Ithaca. Amenities such as their Canopy Bikes make it easy to explore the neighborhood, and they also offer free beer and wine tastings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings for guests.

As always, this event offers our members a special opportunity to share ideas and build connections. Held at various locations in Tompkins County, this gathering is the perfect place to form long-lasting partnerships.

There will be a lovely spread of light refreshments from The Strand Café! Bring your business cards for an opportunity to network - we will have raffle tickets for the door prizes!

Tompkins Connect, our young professionals' group, will be in attendance to collect donations for the Greater Ithaca Activity Center (GIAC)'s Giving Tree again this year. GIAC makes sure that each child in their program gets a present this holiday season. Tompkins Connect invites you, our supportive community members, to get into the holiday spirit with them by participating in the GIAC Holiday Giving Tree! If you are interested in participating, check out the Giving Tree list at this link and bring your donation to the Business After Hours for collection.
