Tell me about Rochester, NY

[bolverk 28,887]

I’ll be flying to Rochester, NY, tomorrow landing in the afternoon. Separately, my ex-wife and daughter will be flying in from Lubbock. We’re all going there to move the kid into the dorms at RIT. About half of my time will be spent helping the kid shop for whatever she needs (anticipate most of that will be Saturday afternoon), the other half I’ll be completely free to roam about alone. I’ll be there through Monday afternoon. I’ve never been there before but hear there might be some sights worth seeing. I’m definitely looking forward to a break from the heat.

Thanks in advance.

Lot’s of breweries have been popping up in rochester/buffalo the last few years. The area around Rohrbach is nice to walk around.  They’re one of the oldest breweries in the area but the beer is pretty average  

Rochester Red Wints have a game at 7 on saturday night and a day game at 1 on sunday. 

Cobbs Hill Park in brighton is nice and is close to twelve corners which has a lot of restaurants and bars nearby. Lot’s of cool older houses in that area as well  

I spend most of my time in Pittsford when I’m in town. I like drinking beers outside at Lock 32 Brewery on the Erie Canal.

Great golf options in the area of you’re a golfer. Mill Creek is a gem not far from RIT and dirt cheap to play.

How long until you fuck the ex?

Solid recommendations. Thanks!

I haven't spoken with her on the phone in two years. Our post-divorce "friendship" went to shit when she moved back to Lubbock from Austin.

One of the better burgers I've had can be found at Zoc's, don't let the looks fool you, it's very good.

Is that the place where they sell the garbage plate or whatever?

[Underdog 27,966]

I believe that's in Syracuse, not sure though. 

[Underdog 27,966]

No, you're right.  It's Nick Tahou's in Rochester.

You didn’t answer my question.

Farmington is about a half-hour drive from Rochester and has a casino and thoroughbred racing.  There are multiple wineries in the area, as well.

Check out the Redwings if they're in town, have heard it's a nice little ballpark to see a game.

I'll give it a shot. Looks like Sunday I'll be mostly free for their afternoon game.

You can see it from the top of the CN Tower in Toronto! 

Otherwise got nothin'. The almost-Canadian accent some Upstaters have is a hoot though.

Been there twice and not a damn thing sticks out in my memory of what to do.

If I have any luck, I'll post 'em in the hot/not thread.

Dude it's RIT. All due respect to @bolverk, but not many schools with "Institute of Technology" in the name do very well in that regard. All the cute girls from upstate I've met went to Cuse, UofR or one of the SUNYs.

She'll probably outearn all of them, though.

Letchworth State Park is an hour south of town

 

[Firemans4Horn 16,853]

Forgot got to mention that Black Button Distilling is next door to Rohrbach and Three Heads brewing and The Lost Borough Brewing are a block or two away.

Nice place to visit, but you really don't want to live there.

that's fucking stunning

[Firemans4Horn 16,853]

They do a hot air ballooning festival there every year which seems awesome. I think you can find a company that will take you up this weekend.

Thanks again for the excellent recommendation, @Underdog . Really enjoyed Zoc's!

Arrived here about 4:30 local time and went straight to the hotel for a badly needed nap. After that, I drove up the highway to Zoc's and then decided to drive up to see a Lake Ontario. It had an ocean vibe but the smell in the air was more organic than the Gulf but certainly not gross.

Very strange to see this picture on a Longhorn site. I grew up in a town that borders the park. A lot of childhood memories. My favorite was fishing at the trout pond in the park with my Grandpa. The train bridge in the picture is the old one. New one was completed in 2017. 

Was at Letchworth last month with the wife and kids and did some hiking along the Genesee River below the lower falls. My son (pictured) and daughter had a blast skipping stones across the water.

This stone bridge (picture is from the park's website) in the park was built in 1935. In the early 70s, the water of the river rose over the bridge due to a storm.

Glad you liked it, little shady looking area but that's a diamond in the rough.  I had forgotten the games they had there, nice touch for the kids and kids at heart.
