With two locations you're sure to find some delicious food, good beer, and even better company. At the Buffalo Rd location try Faith's favorite Chipotle Chicken BLT with a Highland Lager. Or take Josh's advice and pair a Bacon Bourbon Burger with the best fries in ROC and a Scotch Ale.

Walk from Railroad St Rohrbach's to Black Button Distilling for locally made whisky and gin. Sip some bourbon cream or put a lil' hair on your chest like Josh with single barrel straight bourbon.

Visit the park next to our venue! Designed by the same landscape artist as Central Park and Boston's Arboretum, Frederick Law Olmsted. Wind your way along paved paths to learn about the eclectic collection of plants from around the world. The link below is to the Lamberton Conservatory, located within Highland Park. You can park your car for free and begin your visit there.

Intimate and beautiful setting in the heart of downtown Rochester with classic Italian food. Please note the "on the river" location is downtown, and "on the avenue" location is in Pittsford.

Another downtown park with beautiful architecture around a reservoir and walking trails.

Located next to Lake Ontario, Durand Eastman Park offers walking trails and beautiful upstate NY nature. A bit steep in some sections but overall a moderate walk.

Who let the dogs out? Definitely not Bethany because she's here for the Garbage Plate. This Rochester delicacy started at Steve T's and Nick Tahou Hots. Legend has it they were in business together until an argument over a hot sauce recipe split them in two. Now the Garbage plate can be found at many local burger joints, including Dog Town. Much like keeping any negative opinion about the Buffalo Bills to yourself, we recommend you don't ask a group of locals who has the best plate unless you're looking for a fight.
Travel Note
The National Museum of Play is the only collections-based museum anywhere devoted solely to the study of play, and although it is a history museum, it has the interactive characteristics of a children's museum, making it the second largest museum of that type in the United States. Locals also call it by the original name, The Strong Museum.
Travel Note
Rochester's favorite brunch spot on Park Ave! Fabulous Greek breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day. Park Ave is a popular spot to go for a walk and check out the local shops.
Travel Note
Rochester is a boomtown thanks in large part to George Eastman's company, Kodak. Spend a relaxing afternoon touring the Eastman mansion and learning about the history of photography.

Rochester has a large italian population and Agatina's is the crown jewel of our italian restaurants. Get those stretchy eating pants on and don't let a language barrier keep you from their gnocchi - it's pronounced nyow·kee (as Bentley will excitedly teach you at the top of his lungs).
Travel Note
A bit too chilly for a swim, but if you want to see the best great lake (in our totally unbiased opinion) head over to Ontario Beach Park. With a boardwalk and long pier, there's lots of opportunities to enjoy the view. Bundle up - the wind off the lake is chilly! Grab a burger and beer at Rochester's beloved burger joint, Bill Gray's.
Travel Note
Spend a quiet afternoon strolling the grounds and touring the collection.

The big city has farmers too! Our public market in downtown Rochester is exciting on Saturday mornings. Get there early for some fresh produce to kick start your day.

Funky. Look no further for a strange and immersive experience. With different rooms full of curious art, you're sure to leave inspired (or at least intrigued).

Nestled in the Neighborhood of the Arts, Village Gate is a collection of local restaurants.
