A few doors down at Kung Fu Teas, grab some bubble tea and enjoy authentic Asian cuisine that you would never expect from little Ithaca, NY. For some Mexican street-style food, head to Dos Amigos and grab some yummy tacos, or check out Luna for a mix of all street food cuisines (personally I prefer the one in the Commons; more on that later), particularly the dreamy mac and cheese and gorgeous sesame chicken pineapple bowl. Feeling like some classics?. Collegetown Pizza has some great NY-style slices that make it feel like I’m in the pizzeria from my hometown.

The around-the-world menu at Luna offers comfort food from all corners of the globe, though you’ll find your staples there as well. Banh mi meets baja fish tacos, which meets a huevos rancheros burrito, smoked gouda mac and cheese, a separate spot for fries and an excellent selection of burgers. The choices, which include options for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free diets, are seemingly endless, making it the perfect menu for a relaxed evening in — or any meal, really.

Some are blends, like the local chorizo and beef of the Luna Burger at Luna Inspired Street Food on Restaurant Row and in Collegetown. Or the smoked brisket, flank steak, and shiitake mushrooms of the blended burger at McCormick’s, at the Cornell golf course, which takes the locavore concept to new heights with its use of Cornell Dairy cheddar cheese, Cornell Orchards apples, and mustard made with Cornell Orchards apple cider.

Drawing on different cuisines, this restaurant is comfort all around. The location near the Commons in Ithaca is easy to access and undeniably attractive inside, with long tables that seemingly invite customers to bring in other people. It’s a restaurant that seemingly offers it all — with coconut curry, pizza, sweet potato tacos, and endless options for mac & cheese, what’s not to love?.

Inspired by street vendors, carts, and trucks from all over the country and the world, luna strives to provide a diverse menu while also supporting local farmers and suppliers. There’s a luna in Collegetown; however, it has more indoor dining space, whereas the Luna’s in the Commons has more outdoor seating but less indoor seating. The restaurant has a nice cozy vibe and ordering.

Fusion of Asian and Latin American cuisine in a street food setting. Luna Inspired Street Food serves up fresh and flavorful tacos, with standout options like the tomato and mahi mahi varieties. While the sweet potato taco may fall short on taste, the speedy service from a one-man operation is commendable.

Take a trip around the world with Luna Inspired Street Food. Blending locally sourced ingredients with worldly street food makes dining here a one-of-a-kind experience. From Korean-inspired street tacos to authentic greek gyros, you are sure to find something to excite your taste buds here.

I was told one day that they had a dedicated fryer so tried one of their menu items labeled gluten free, got horribly sick, and the next day called to double check, and a different staff member confirmed that they did NOT have a dedicated fryer.

This restaurant offers street-food style cuisine and a whole slue of vegan options. Wing night does not have to be sacrificed on a vegan diet. They offer tofu wings tossed in any wing sauce—barbecue, buffalo, whatever your style.
