As August comes to an end, we're wrapping up our series on the Foods of Summer with a look at a seashore favorite, the clam. We like 'em fried, steamed, baked, grilled, or even straight from the shell, but where do you find them around Ithaca?

And our visits to every Ithaca restaurant from A-Z wraps up the letter "C" with The Corner Store, catches the "B" we missed with Blimpie, and starts on "D" with D.P. Dough.

Visit our Flickr page for photos of our homemade clam pizza and all the restaurants we visited on, follow us on Twitter, and be sure to share the show with your friends. If you want to get in touch, you may leave a comment on the blog, call our voicemail line, or send us a message at our NEW email address: feedback@eatingithaca.com.
