The Hot Truck Address: Parks at 635 Stewart Avenue, Ithaca NY 14850, on Cornell University's West Campus [map] Phone: 607-273-1111 Photographs by Adam Kuban It was late last Friday evening and I was on the phone with my girlfriend's sister after having recently arrived in Ithaca, New York, for a weekend visit.
