People say that it is winter there for 10 of 12 months.
In a nutshell
Embrace the cold and the rest of the year is wonderful.
nuker Says: Quality place to relax and take pictures if you like. Big man made lake in the middle. Many people come to swim in the pond during the summer and X-Country Ski in the winter. Mendon Ponds park has some nice XC skiing trails that are well marked and also have races throughout...
rdywenur Says: The Genesee Riverway Trail (GRT) is an off-road trail for walking, running and bicycling along the Genesee River. At Turning Point Park you can take the new pedestrian bridge (some 3572 ft long) and view nature along the Genessee River. Recently built and opened in...
Maplewood Rose Garden Festival
rdywenur Says: If you love roses come and enjoy the beauty and scent of the large variety of roses. Enjoy crafts, local bands (this year Dady Brothers playing Irish and Folk music) Bring a picnic basket or enjoy some of the festival foods (hots, sausage, soda, fresh lemonade or my favorite...

Dinosaur BBQ: Good BBQ and Blues
nuker Says: Dino is a great place in the middle of Rochester to get some food. They have a great selection of local beers such as Roc Brewing, Customer Brew, and Rhorbachs along with many others. Specialty of course is pork. The Big Ass Pork Plate with sides of baked beans, Mac and...
Phillips European: Surf and Turf!
nuker Says: Just went here for dinner the other night and had a great meal. The menu is not overly extensive, but they did a great job with everyone's meal. 17 of us went out and everyone throroughly enjoyed their meal. Plenty of cocktails, wine, and beer to choose from as well. Right...
Strathallan's The Grill: elegant dining
davecallahan Says: The Grill restaurant within the Strathallan Hotel is a very nice, quiet and elegant setting. The name does not do justice to the atmosphere of the place; white linens on dark wood table settings with avante garde tableware. Every meal is a culinary adventure that the chef...
Papa John's Pizza: sometimes you don't want to go out...
davecallahan Says: You are sitting in your downtown Rochester hotel room and you really don't feel like getting spruced up to go out and eat.Well, no problem my friend; just give Papa John's a call and they'll deliver. You can even order over the internet.27 different pizza combos. And there...
nuker Says: The Distillery. This is a great place to grab dinner at or drink some beers at the bar. Sports heaven with T.V.'s everywhere.Fantastic Wings and chicken sandwiches. They have a great beer selection to choose from. I don't believe they ever brewed their own beer, but maybe...
Frontier Field. Go to a Red...
nuker Says: Frontier Field. Go to a Red Wings (Minor league baseball AAA team) which is the farm team for the Minnesota Twins (used to be for the Baltimore Orioles and St Louis Cardinals when the team played at Silver Stadium). This is a state of the art field that was built for $35...
KennyB Says: The Rochester Fast Ferry is no longer available. The grandiose idea was washed away by a pile of debt. The ship has been sold, but the Port of Rochester still remains. The port is not worth visiting. You have been warned.NOTE: This is a very expensive example of what happens...
clouds111 Says: We decided it would be nice to get a train to Rochester from New York rather than the hour flight. The journey takes you along the banks of the Hudson River, which is quite picturesque, as far as Albany. It takes you past West Point (a US Military Academy), a number of...
davecallahan Says: Back in the 1960s, this was the nations first completely enclosed mall. It was a tribute to the economic strength of Rochester.Now it is a struggling mall with about forty stores (they keep changing) that are trying to make a go of it in hard times in Rochester. There are no...
Stever's Candies: Chocolate heaven
clouds111 Says: I came across this chocolate shop called Stevers Candies on Park Ave and it's possibly some of the nicest chocolate I've ever tasted, shame the don't deliver to the UK. They do everything in there, chocolate covered twinkies, mixed boxes, jelly beans and every kind of...
davecallahan Says: Artisans from the Rochester/Monroe-County area will be showing their arts and crafts again this year. The first weekend in August celebrates Rochester's contribution to the world of art with a festival that goes from Alexander Street and Park Avenue all the way down to...
davecallahan Says: The annual "Party in the Park" festival returns to Rochester for the city's 175th anniversary. The venue has been moved to a larger, more accessible location at Exchange and Court, right across from the BCBS Arena. It is tauted as "the most exciting summer festival in...
clouds111 Says: We visited Rochester just before Christmas and got there just in time for their first major snow storm of the winter. To save room in my back pack I had left my snow boots behind and wish I hadn't! My Uggs got ruined. Although you can never rely on the weather, but I...
nuker Says: Cobbs Hill Park is a large Urban Park with softball, basketball, hiking, running, and everything in between. This is a high elevation point in the park where one gets great views from any point. To the North is the city and Lake Ontario on the horizon and to the South is the...
nuker Says: Rochester had a subway for about 10-20 years that ran under the city with its heyday in the sixites. Also the Erie Canal ran through parts of the city, but long ago was moved. This has left some interesting aquaducts around the city that date back about 120 years. You can...
davecallahan Says: For years, Rochester has taken a backseat in football because of the prominence of the Buffalo Bills. Well, Rochester now has its own football team, The Rochester Raiders.The team doesn't play in the NFL but rather plays indoors for the IFL (similar to the Arena Football...
