Play volleyball in the National Volleyball Center
dragowill Says: For a $4 entrance fee during the open gym time (usually Friday from 6-9pm or Sunday from 6-10pm), you will get a fun volleyball exercise.I am an avid volleyball player and this is the best town where you can find any level of players playing volleyball during open gym time.
Jehcekah Says: Rochester’s Assisi Heights Convent, a 3-story Italian Romanesque building at 1001 14th Street, is home to the sisters of St. Francis. The structure bears a striking resemblance to the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy. The convent has a unique red tile roof, slate...

Buffalo Wild Wings: Great wings and beer!
trainy68 Says: Buffalo Wild Wings is a chain of sports bar/ restaurants throughout the U.S. Our local BW2's is a fun place for people of all ages to enjoy. The bar is separate from the restaurant area, but you can get service from the bar in the restaurant area all night. There are large...
Jaspers Alsatian Bistro: A Sweet Spot...
ciaobellamici Says: I needed a break...needed to clear my head. Leave behind the questions about my son's health and future and find comfort food. As Rochester Mayo Clinic sees thousands of patients and their families, I am sure that I not alone in the quest for peaceful solitude and...
McGoons Pub and Restaurant: American Food
crmeers Says: This is a restaurant that is connected to Goonie's Comedy club in downtown Rochester. It had very good food, and friendly people there for a lunch hour. Food there was good, like any other pub and grill. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was very good.
The Redwood Room: Redwood, not Redrum
shohman Says: Hmmm, pros and cons...Well Redroom certainly has a certain ambience that many would love. Dark, candlelit, lots of brick and great music that still allows for conversation. The staff was friendly, but I think we had an off night as a new waitress was training and service was...
BillSpeights Says: I had a nice meal here. The service was excellent and the food was good.However, I don't consider the Redwood Room a special restaurant. The next time that I'm in Rochester, I want to try the restaurant upstairs.
BillSpeights Says: Sontes is a nice Tapis restaurant. However, you need a "bunch" of these small portions to make up a "full meal" -- which is quite expensive. The service was outstanding, the wine list is extensive and you are allowed to taste wines before selecting a glass or bottle. I'm...
Jasper's Alsatian Bistro & Wine Bar: Wow -- Alsace in Minnesotta
BillSpeights Says: Jasper's offers outstanding food, very-good wine and excellent service!I visit Southwestern Germany and Alsace two or three times a year. If Jasper's was located in Colmar and I had dined there, then I would highly recommend it to my friends traveling to Alsace. Enough...
minkota Says: Rochester City Lines is the provider of public bus transportation. Bus stops are easily identified by the red and yellow signs located at all bus stops. These signs are located where it is safe for the bus to stop. If there is no stop nearby, halt the bus at a street corner...
cadiana88 Says: Rochester has a small airport for commercial domestic flights and international charter flights.It is very small but nice, surrounded by fields of corn, in a rural environment.American Airlines has several daily flights from Chicago O'Hare Airport.
cadiana88 Says: Rochester has two fantastic communication paths: Pedestrian Subways & SkywaysRochester's downtown skyway and underground walkways give you accessibility to more than 1,700 hotel rooms, Mayo Civic Center, over 3,900 parking spaces, shopping and entertainment... all without...
Barnes and Noble: Barnes and Noble Booksellers in Rochester.
OnTheSiouxFallsSub Says: The Barnes and Noble book store near the Mayo Clinic is the coolest book shop i've been in. The shop is located in an old theater and looks like a castle inside. The store has 2 floors of books with an escalator in the middle and a Starbucks on the 2nd floor. Books. Just...
Jehcekah Says: The Galleria Mall is going down hill and the city isn't intervening at all to help the downtown business centers to survive.The movie theatre closed two years ago and the major stores (The Gap and Footlocker) have moved. Right now the only stores in the mall are: Laura...

Helpfulness
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The weather in Rochester can go to either extreme; humid and hot in the summer to freezing (30 below zero) in the winter. It usually doesn't get really cold until November or December. Keep in mind, cold to the natives is below freezing. Anything warmer than 32 degrees you will still find people running around with just a sweatshirt on.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: If you forget something, chances are you can find it here. Rochester has all the modern conveniences...Target, Walmart, Shopko, Marshall Fields, Sears, etc.

Jehcekah Says: Rochester's downtown and the Mayo Clinic building are all connected by a series of subways and skyways so that vistors do not need to venture out into our extremely cold winters.The subway of the US Bank Building is full of restaurants and little shops for the convenience of...

Ultimate Guide to Rochester, Minnesota
I have lived in Rochester for four years, off and on. When I first found myself in this small, ultra-conservative city, I was restless and I wanted to get away from it as fast as I could. After...
It's been interesting, to say the least. And now, it's time to go. I did get a new car (those of you that know me know, it doesn't take much). I'll add it to my 'car slut' travelogue. So wonderful...
