“I think people in this area are so special. They are so invested in each other in a beautiful, profound, and palpable way.”
“I have always appreciated other local restaurants. It’s not an easy industry to be in. There is a lot of hard work and long hours. I think supporting each other is a big thing.”
“George Harrison and I were both guitar junkies and the only guitar that was there was my manager’s daughter’s gut string. It wasn’t a very good one, either, but we couldn’t help ourselves.”
“The people here are just outstanding. At the end of the day, for all this division and bullshit that’s going on right now, everyone has the same agenda here: work hard, take care of your family, and try to enjoy life.”
“This week alone we’ll have three new beers on tap. Last year we did 53 beers. The 2019 IPA will be out Wednesday.”
Lost + Found had the pleasure of meeting with Travie McCoy—acclaimed recording artist, co-founder of the rap-rock band Gym Class Heroes, and Geneva, New York native.
“I love the Ithaca Farmers Market. I spent two years there as a vendor. As a chef, I loved access to fresh, local items—produce, meats, dairy, all that good stuff.”
“There’s a real underbelly of good musicians in the Finger Lakes—a great backwoods picker scene.”
