Things To Do
Nick Tahou Hots
The original home of the Rochester staple, the garbage plate (if you aren't sure what this is, Google it -- you won't be disappointed).
Dogtown
DogTown is known for their varieties of hot dogs, but also makes an amazing garbage plate (including garbage plate options for those who are vegan/vegetarian).
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
Stop in for the best BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi!
Genesee Brew House
A staple in the Rochester community, the Genesee Brew House offers tours and tastings to those wishing to learn more about this 100+ year old brewery.
Swiftwater Brewing Company
Come visit our favorite brewery in Rochester! Not only is it conveniently only a few blocks from where we live, but they have an outdoor patio that allows pets and board games for entertainment. Vegan and vegetarian food options are also available.
Mullers Cider House
One of Matt and Rachel's favorite places to grab a drink! Enjoy a wide variety of hard ciders, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. As a bonus, there's also a brewery and whiskey distillery along the same row of shops.
Park Avenue
Head to this street for an entire neighborhood of cute shops and delicious restaurants.
Radio Social
This place has it all: drinks, food, bowling, and arcade games.
The Playhouse // Swillburger
Come enjoy some classic arcade games, as well as some newer games like Guitar Hero and Mario Kart! There's also a full-service bar and attached burger restaurant to fuel your gaming.
The Strong National Museum of Play
Fun for both adults and kids! (P.S. - for those who flew in to ROC, this museum is the inspiration for the large games in the airport)
RMSC (Rochester Museum & Science Center)
Explore the museum to learn some fun science facts, or hit the laser light show in the planetarium!
Memorial Art Gallery
Owned by the University of Rochester (Rachel's alma mater), this art gallery is great for any art-loving guests!
