Walnut Hill Carriage Driving Competition is held annually at Walnut Hill Farm in mid-August.
Qualified coaches and carriages and their teams and drivers compete for distance and time and through a slalom course to win ribbons and cash prizes (but mostly to win the prestige of being the best). The observers will be also treated to terrier dog races, displays of carriage equipment and activities for both adults and kids within the carriage theme. Live music (fiddlers and singers and bag-pipers) will be on hand to entertain the crowds in between races. A picnic dinner will be served on one of the evenings.

Aladdins: Aladdins- freah and healthy
clementine31129 Says: Aladdins, i love this place! I get take out from here all the time, their salads are really good, and I mean REALLY good. And its very nice coming here in the summer, because it is set right along the canal and is very picturesque.
Dibella's: great sub sandwiches
davecallahan Says: DiBella's old fashioned submarine sandwiches are some of the best I have ever had. And I am not saying that just because my niece is related to the owner.From 10am to 9pm you can walk into this shop and find it neat and clean and the servers are ready and smiling to serve...

Peter Geyers: classic steakhouse
davecallahan Says: You don't have to love beef to eat here but it helps if you do because they have a great beef menu. Cheapest is Filet Mignon for $20 all the way up to Porterhouse for $45 (and that is per person). Huge portions of meat cooked just the way you like it.If you aren't into...
Schoen Place Prime Rib: beef is good
davecallahan Says: Early-bird special is the way to go at Schoen Place. You have to do the prime rib because that is what they do best; start with the Onion soup and compliment the meal with a little Irish coffee. And there goes $20, just like that. But it is well worth it.The restaurant is...

The Rochester International Airport is not the easiest place to get to. For some reason, Rochester has been unable to attract the volume or air trafic needed to keep prices low, and make Rochester very accessable. Flying into Buffalo, Toronto Cananda, or even Syracuse might save you a few bucks.
Update: In the past few months there have been a few airline additions. JetBlue into Rochester, and Vanguard Air into Buffalo offer very inexpensive flights.
Everyone drives. Taxis area available, though they come out from the city and airport; it will take them 5 to 20 minutes to get to you. The Rochester Transit Service (RTS) runs right through town, and makes it easy to get into the City of Rochester.
I would recommend renting a car. Without one, you will be very limited.
In the Village, most people walk.

This began as a practice course for the college students and now is a public 9-hole course.
$15 gets you a cart and the course. 2700 yards and a par 33 on a pretty wide open course.
Old growth trees are fairly widely spaced and do not provide much hazard in the rough.
The greens and fairways are well kept and the greens are mostly flat. This is a marvelous course for a beginner.
