Things To Do

RMSC (Rochester Museum & Science Center)

The Strong National Museum of Play

If youre bringing kids this is the place to visit - theyll love it!

Seneca Park Zoo

Check out the lion exhibit - they have a school bus the lions like to sunbathe on (and you can go inside of it to see them - its so cool!)

Parkside Whispering Pines

The oldest miniature golf course in the entire USA! It's small, its humble... but its history!

Record Archive

For music lovers like us, a massive record store that you could spend an entire day in looking through their stock

Genesee River Trail

Great place to walk/run, we recommend starting at Turning Point Park and heading toward Charlotte, stop at Abbotts before heading back to grab some chocolate almond ice cream!

Abraham Lincoln Park

This is a greak little hike if you have a couple hours to burn- just under three miles, an out-and-back that will take you through a wooded area down to the bay and back

Ontario Beach Park

Radio Social

A late-night bar scene with bowling/yard games

Genesee Brew House

K2 Brothers Brewing on Empire

A brewery that has live music Thursdays/Fridays and an outdoor area with picnic table seating and cornhole. Good sours and a laid back relaxed environment

Strangebird

Brewery/cocktails/pizzas

Living Roots Rochester

Winery tasting room with charcuturie

Wegmans

Arguably the best grocery store in the USA. This location specifically

Stever's Candies ~ Homemade Candy

Their hot fudge sauce is top-notch.

Pittsford Farms Dairy

There are two locations! They make their own ice cream (and trust us - it's the best!). Check out the Pittsford location if you want to take a walk down the canal (highly recommend, its beautiful and peaceful) or go to the Park Ave location if you're looking to stay close to the venue. Either way - its a must to satisfy that sweet tooth.

Ridge Donut Cafe

The best donuts! (Trust us, Texas donuts have nothing on these bad boys)

Abbott's Frozen Custard

Balsam Bagels

A breakfast must - these are traditional boiled bagels and they have tons of flavors (plus tons of cream cheese flavors). We always make sure we have some in our freezer in Tyler

Dogtown Dog Joint

weenies, not canines

Bar-Bill East

You haven't had real wings until you've had Buffalo, NY wings and Bar Bill in the real deal (also Bills Mafia territory). Cajun-honey butter BBQ is the sauce to try.

Nick Tahou Hots

Rochester is the home of the garbage plate.... google it... try it... decide for yourself

Rubino's Italian Foods

An Italian market and deli, go there for a great sandwich and get the italian mayo

Peels On Wheels Pizza Garage

The best pizza in Rochester, location may seems a little sketchy (but isn't that true for all the best pizza places?)

Rocco

Fab italian food

Nosh

The Tomahawk steak

Java's Cafe

Delicious coffee (and hot chocolate and cookies!)

Cafe Sasso

Another great spot to grab coffee

Ape + Canary

If you find yourself in need of a spa day/mani/blow-out this is located in the Park Ave area close to the wedding venue

Scott Miller Salon Spa Store

Another reliable salon for a blow-out/mani/make-up
