Yeah, but once you factor in traffic ...
Everyone's talking about driving... but you actually can take a boat from Troy to Ithaca. Just take the Erie Canal west until you reach Montezuma, at the confluence proceed to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, and continue south through Cayuga Lake, and at the end you'll reach Ithaca.

Now you try rowing a boat on the highway!
Don't do it during fall colors or you'll be going 25 down one-lane roads.
Took a quick detour for a garbage plate i see
Rome and Syracuse causally chilling in there...
