Rochester, NY this weekend

The wife & I will be in Rochester from this Thursday evening until Sunday at noon for a compnay-wide meeting and holiday party.

What's there to do? Where should we go, what should we see?

Any credible advice is welcomed.

 

Freeze your ass off! :wow: Say hello to my sister and bro-in-law.

 

Rochested = nothing to do.

 

I coached in a hockey tournament there this past April. There is a small touristy area down by the lake and we went to one of the best old school Italian restaurants that I have ever enjoyed. Supposedly it has been around forever, all the locals know it and go early or you won't get in. It doesn't look like much from the outside....it's all about the food.

Other than that, take in a college hockey game. Their team played in the NCAA Championship final last year.

 

I have heard nothing. Guess it will be good for team bonding, since there is nothing else going on. Maybe you can get some actual work done too

 

A restaurant there called two vine is excellent. The East avenue area in the city had some cool bars and hang outs. Pittsford is a nice little town just outside the city. If you have time, take a 30 minute ride to Canandaigua Lake. It is one of the nicer finger lakes. There is an historic cemetery in Rochester named Mt. Hope cemetery. Fredrick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony are buried there. The Eastman House on East Avenue was the house of George Eastman, the founder of Kodak. The company headquarters are still there. The house has daily tours. It is a pretty amazing relic from the guilded age of American industrialism.

 

Garbage plate!

At Nick Tahou's is a Rochester tradition...

Good points. My wife did all of these you mentioned while I was stuck at the rink. She enjoyed it, but I was glad that I was stuck at the rink

 

My advice.... Get in your car and drive to Syracuse.

 

Beers of the World is pretty sweet.

 

Dinosaur BBQ kicks ass!

 

Ice sculptures.

 

:up: You might get to experiance lake effect snow too, depending how the winds blowing

 

Hell yeah!! Or mingle in to Buffalo for some wings. About 45 mins away. Rochester is pretty worn out. Not much to offer this time of year If you come to buffalo I'll take you out for wings.

 

Lake effect snow has been coming in bring your winter clothes..

Definitely try a garbage plate (cheesburger, mac, homefries) from just about anywhere.

Myself Ill be in Toronto this weekend for the International motorcycle show.

 

Yep..

 

True story during this season

 

+1 on the Dino...
... unless you don't like BBQ and you hate da Blues...

 

With the lake effect we're getting, you'll never get in. Or, you might not get out.
