The Village of Pittsford
The quaint village of Pittsford was a staple growing up for Julia. A lot of her childhood was spent on the Erie Canal as her Grandma had a house right on the Canal. She grew up going to the village of Pittsford quite often. Julia recommends that you walk to Shoen place within the village and walk alongside the Erie Canal. We recommend checking out Neutral Ground coffeeshop, Simply Crepes, Lock 32 brewing company, Olives and Label Seven for delicious food and drink. You can't miss out on the famous Pittsford Dairy ice cream! Check out Cleo and Kin, Notion, Abode, Breathe at home, the boutique. curated by UB & Robyn's Nest for some good shopping. www.villageofpittsford.com/shops-salons
