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.

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

Jeff may be thinking of the Ontario Antiques Mall: http://www.ontariomallantique.com/
Good variety of stuff there.

Also, if you haven't been, the Strong Museum of Play in downtown Rochester is a must, in our opinion:

Nearby as well, the justly renowned George Eastman House / Museum of Photography:

Depending on what side of town your on there are a lot of great Italian eateries. Michaels valley grill in penfield is great. Leos bakery in east Rochester is a great deli/bakery. The park avenue area is great for just taking a weekend stroll. I'll second the strong museum of play. Every game/toy you could ever recall. The Seneca park zoo is actually a pretty good for a smaller city. George Eastman house is kinda touristy, but also pretty cool stuff if youre interested in photography, and History of imaging, movies etc...
