O/T Rochester New York

[Brian Van Horn]

I have never been to Rochester, NY. I know of one woman from the area who is a great person.

As for off the beaten path, no baseball card reference here, but you could always visit the grave of the most likely Jack the Ripper:

I live in Rochester... All depends on how off the beaten path you want to go. What you're looking to do.

Give me some guidelines, and I'll make some suggestions.

Catch a Rochester Red Wings game (Twins farm team). Their home dates are Aug 30-31 (vs Buffalo) and Sept 3 (vs Syracuse).

Also, check out the old Kimball's Tobacco Factory (#649). You can't miss it, it has a tall chimney stack towering over the Genesee River.

If you're hungry, have a garbage plate at Nick Tahou's

Garbage plates are a must, that said, Nick's (albeit the original) isn't in the greatest neighborhood. You can get a "plate" in any suburb. Fairport Hots, penfield Hots, empire Hots, etc etc... Depending on where your staying I can recommend one.

I have relatives in Rochester Minnesota. would that help?

Any interesting museums/places to eat? Anywhere fun to walk around/shop? I've had garbage plates and actually took my whole family to a game at Frontier Field a few years ago.

Josh,

My Sister-In-Law lives outside of Rochester. For really good Italian food, I would recommend Agatinas (www.agatinas.com). If you need to go shopping, Wegman's are great Supermarkets. If you like antique stores, there is a big multi dealer shop (s) about 20 minutes from Rochester. The only problem is that they are mostly cases, but I did pretty well with sports items. It has been more than 5 years since I was there and can't remember the name, but I bet you could google it.

Good luck,
Jeff
