Hate to break it, but the opening footage is NOT of Rochester, NY. Rather, it's Rochester, UK. There are no late medieval castles or period gothic cathedrals in Rochester, NY.
haha thank you. I have lived here for 25 years and was wondering where tf that castle is
First footage was of St John Fisher College and we do have a castle.
@@karenhardaway1265 ... I'm calling BS Karen ... but if you wanna provide a link we could be enlightened!
Yup
4:52: Garbage Plate: This USED to be just a late-night dish, sold exclusively at the Nick Tahou's on West. Main st.; a place which used to be frequented after the bars closed by a combination of drunk frat boys, 'ladies of the evening', blues musicians from the blues club down the street, and just about any homeless person who had the price of a cup of coffee on them. It was NEVER about the food. Unfortunately, Nick Tahou's on Main st. now closes in the early evening, so if you want that 'original atmosphere', you need to check out Mark's Texas Hots.
Very nice job on the video! Juan and Maria's empanada stop at the rochester public market is a must.
Thank you, we appreciate it! Which other city/location would you like us to cover next?
I saw this was 8 minutes long and that sounds about right, to show all of the 2 things to do here, in Rochester
5:50: Ontario Beach Park: Avoid this at all costs on the first warm weekend in May; the local high-school 'hooligan gangs' always manage to have a rumble up there, resulting in the occasional stabbing, and dozens of police officers responding and closing off the beach. Once the school closes for the summer (3rd wee in June), things calm down there.
Useful info, thank you! Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
Lol you showed my grandfather's bowling shirt!🤗😘
Nice short and sweet guide!
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
6:15: Lilac Festival: If the lilacs are in bloom the week BEFORE the festival starts, that's the time to see them. Once the festival starts, it's a crowded mess of too many people trampling all over the grounds, food vendors stinking up the air so that you can't smell the lilacs, and all sorts of hucksters in an actual 'carnie village' that pops up with travelling food and game vendors. Has all, the charm of a county fair midway. Don't expect to be able to park anywhere near the fesival....
Very interesting, thank you for providing more context! Be safe and have a great week ahead.
Jazz Festival!!!
You also have a lot PR restaurants. PR fest jazz fest. Love Rochester. Live on Albany now but the roc is home
Rochester!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to know that you love Rochester. Which spot is your favorite?
Thanks for the video of my area but you missed the GREAT HOUSE OF GUITARS!
Nice! 😎 I am a recent(ish) transplant and this is a great list!
Awesome! Thank you! Which other city/location would you like us to cover next?
This is the best video on Rochester in existence.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, which city/location would you like us to review next?
4:30: You mention the George Eastman museum, but NOTHING about the Dryden Theatre associated with it??? The Dryden theater plays old movies, some of which exist nowhere else in the world, and they have a schedule posted on their website. A must for any old movie buff.
I think I know why my fatherand grandfather liced nearr Rochther (Cananduiga) They were brewers by trade !!!
How about best locations to make your movies and something Tarzan related?
Great suggestion, thank you! We won't promise you anything but we'll definitely look into it. Watch out for our next video!
1:28: Public Market: not really a place tourist would visit; they sell mostly perishable foods and household knick-knacks.
Got it, thank you for providing more context about the public market! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Yeah, but Genesee has been widely known as terrible watered down barely beer for longer than our lifetimes. And there's only one Garbage Plate. Nick's. The rest are strip mall imitation bad food joints.
The best thing to do in Rochester NY is LEAVE!
As someone who lives here, don't bother. I hate it here.
May we ask why?
