New York State Route 96B (NY 96B) is a north–south state highway in the Southern Tier of New York in the United States. It connects NY 96 in the village of Candor in Tioga County to NY 13, NY 34, and NY 96 in the city of Ithaca in Tompkins County. NY 96B approaches Ithaca from the south as Danby Road and then as South Aurora Street, before turning westward onto Clinton Street and proceeding to its northern terminus at a junction with NY 13, NY 34, and NY 96. The portion of NY 96B from the Ithaca city line to its northern terminus is maintained by the city.
NY 96B begins at an intersection with NY 96 (Main Street), cosigned with NY 96 Truck, in the village of Candor. NY 96B proceeds northward along Owego Street as a two-lane residential street, passing west of a cemetery, and bending west as Owego Road. Changing names to Ithaca Road, the route intersects with County Route 17 (CR 17; Mill Street / Honeypot Road). Entering the town of Candor, NY 96B bends northward into the hamlet of Gridleyville, a rural area of Candor. After Gridleyille, NY 96B begins a winding alignment northward, passing to the southwest of Willseyville. After Willseyville, the route remains a two-lane northwest-bound highway, crossing the county line into Tompkins County and the town of Danby.
