@Gina1960 has given you good advice. Many fruits and berries will look nice in warmer weather but need a cold snap to make them sweeter or bloom at all. Because you are in Ithaca you will get all the cold weather you need. After the last frost you can plant your summer crop. For you this is about May 30. The NGA has a page of frost dates for Ithaca:

Start conversations at your local nurseries until you receive a consensus about plants and timing.
