We'll second the recommendation on Dinosaur BBQ, which has a lot bigger menu than just BBQ. Excellent burgers just the start.

Downtown Rochester has a peculiar layout, straddling the Genesee River, but it's surprisingly easy to get around if you have a map
and know where you're going.

Frontier Field has a very good reputation as a Triple-A ballpark. A pre-game autograph booth (selected Red Wings) is open Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and the Friday and Saturday games are followed by a fireworks show. Friday the 31st has
a "Hallowe'en in July" promotion, Saturday the 1st commemorates the 1980 US Olympic hockey team (three members of
that team will attend) with an auction of auto'd sweaters, and kids can run the bases post-game on Sunday the 2nd.

Pretty much everything you need to know about Frontier Field is available at the RedWings' website:

Can't recommend for or against any of the several area shops purporting to deal in sports cards, but here's one list of possibilities:

If you've any interest in antique games or toys, or if you've got young kids along with you, we highly recommend
the Strong Museum [ http://www.museumofplay.org/ ], which has appeal for both adults and kids.
