There are a lot of reasons to love RVing. But one of our FAVORITE parts of this lifestyle is getting to meet up with family and friends on the road. This week, we visit our friends in Rochester, NY. They show us around the highly underrated town of Rochester, where we have ***one of the best meals of our lives***, hang out with some guinea pigs, and have some fun!
We hope you enjoy discovering this town as much as we did -- it truly surprised us!

Thanks for such a great view of our city! I'm a life long Rochestarian and we often get a bad rap. I appreciate such a positive look at Rochester!
Sooooooooooo amazin' Life long Rochestarians as well! Soooo great! @paulCusker
I agree, as much hate as our city gets, I love it, it’s probably going to be my lifetime home
Why does it get a bad rap? Can’t control the weather, definitely not the only place with harsh winters. Is it the parts of the city with pockets of crime.?
Born and raised in Rochester. Moved away...and then came back. A great place for food, family, cocktails, hills, lakes, hikes, cocktails, locally-sourced wines, festivals, fall colors and cocktails.
Coming back after living in Houston and LA.

Rochester is one of the most underrated cities in the USA. So close to the Finger Lakes and so much cool stuff to do.
Wow, my new home. Moved to the Rochester area 6 years ago from Texas after divorce. Love it here. People are warm and inviting. The trees, Erie Canal, Fall Foliage, mild summers, and the beautiful snow!
So glad you enjoyed the move. It's a beautiful town
Is it a safe city?
@@bobdroll6381 If you're on the South/East side, you'll be fine and there are some great neighborhoods, but the North/West ends are quite dangerous with some of the worst crime rates in the state and really hurt the overall statistics of the city
@@jocider5698 Thanks for the info!
Cost of living ?
I had no idea Rochester had so much cool stuff! Thanks for sharing. 🍻
It's a great town! Thanks for tuning in Tara :)
It doesnt. Most of the rhings in this video are outside of rochester
Rochester has been trying to become a foody city for more than a decade. It's nice to see it is moving that direction. We aren't NYC, but there are some great places with talented chefs who appreciate quality food
Love that city. Durand Eastman Beach, RMSC, the Erie Canal, the Tinker homestead, the old locks, Highland Park, Seth Green Trail, Strong museum, etc.
Its funny. There's like two sides to Rochester. There's the side that feels some kind of borough or large neighborhood in NYC. Bodegas, old brick buildings, and we even had a subway some time ago. The other is like a little Portland. Craft beers, vegan joints, hippie stores, and yeah our farmers market is awesome. If you ever do come back, you should check out some hots restaurants like Nick Tahou's or dog town and get a famous garbage plate. Dinosaur makes some of the best barbeque in town if you're looking for some. You should check out this side to the city next time you come thru.
Just grateful and glad to see some other people that have been following I'm going to start following you thank you guys for who you are blessings safe travels
Moved here from Georgia at the beginning of 2021 and I love it here.
So glad!
Glad you enjoyed Rochester. I live 5 miles East. Will have to try Rella. Nice video. Travel safe.
Oooh please do! Tell Cruz you went from our recommendation. I'm still dreaming of that meal. Wishing you well Bob!
My hometown. I've been gone for 33 years and I've lived in South Florida all this time, but I miss a lot about my hometown where my family and friends still live. I wish you could have seen the downtown of the 60s 70s and early 80s. It was our little Manhattan and it was a bustling thriving City with department stores that rivaled Macy's and Bloomingdale's. I worked at many of the restaurants downtown back in those days and it was a fabulous fabulous place.
It's still a fabulous place! We really enjoyed our time in Rochester! - Dennis
@@EatSeeRV great to hear!
I am in Florida and giving serious consideration to moving to Rochester or close by
@@robertmitchell8630 I've lived in South Florida for 34 years now. I hate winters, but in my old age, who knows, I may move back up to Rochester.
@@cookingartguy2170
I may prefer a smaller town close to Rochester hopefully rent would be a bit cheaper
Any suggestions?
I love this. I’ve lived in Milwaukee most of my life, but born and lived in Rochester too. Both these cities covered by you in such a short time!
Haha that's awesome we're hitting all the towns/cities special to you!
Damn never thought I’d see a video about Rochester. Lived here my entire life! Not a fan of the snow much anymore, but the fall is so pretty here. When I move, that’ll be the one thing I miss. (Besides Garbage Plates)
It's a great city!
@pipper cloud _ The first snow can come as early as mid-october, but usually doesn't stick until mid-november. It stays on the ground all the way through mid-march/april.
I live in Rochester NY.
Grew up here and have moved away and back many times. Rochester is what you make it. For a mid-sized city and metro it has a lot to offer. You showed a lot of us what it is like to see it with fresh eyes again. Well done! Happy you enjoyed our time here. Try Letchworth State Park some time. NY also has good State Parks where it is safe and affordable to camp along Lake Ontario or in the Adirondaks.
Someone mentioned Maine. I lived in New England for a few years. I would highly recommend Keene, NH; Portsmouth, NH and Portland, Maine. All great little cities in their own right.
How's the crime situation in Rochester?
What fun! You are amazing artists! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
I’m 18 now but I live in Texas now ,we moved down here in 2009 …wish we could’ve stayed :(
Great video. Enjoyed the vibe you guys bring to the screen .
Thanks Ed, that means a lot!
The shot at the one brewery with the waterfall and the train going across the trestle was good. We too like to get our clothes at a thrift store. Always a good deal and saves them from getting thrown out.
Glad you liked it. It was a fun shot for sure! So glad to hear you thrift. It's the way to go!
I lived in Rochester my whole life and you make it seem cool. I also vlog here and can’t even find things to do. So thank you for this
Rochester was really cool! Safe travels!!
Thanks Lisa!
Hi Dennis and Liz!
Great video on Rochester NY. Nice that you had great food there and did some shopping at a market. They always have desks there on fruits and all. Nice you’re visiting a friend. Nice they have business dealing with Guinea pig toys and what have you. That’s nice and the merchandise is sold at Petsmart. Great job on in your pumpkins you carved. Thank you for this video and can’t wait to see your friends get their Rv going and you’ll be camping with them. Hope you have a great week. See you soon!
Glad you enjoyed the Rochester vlog Sherri!
Thank you for watching and traveling with us! - Dennis
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it Miguel!
Love that you guys are in New York close to our home! Seeing places we didn't know about so close! (We live in a small town between Buffalo & Rochester.) Can't wait to see your next stop!
It's a great state. Hope you get to explore some of these Rochester gems :)
Love you guys so much from Traverse City Michigan you are the best can't wait to see your next adventure love you sweeties!!!
It's good to see you both enjoying your friends' company and sharing some common goals. Farmer's markets are great- here in Dordrecht we have both Friday and Saturday 8am till 4pm both food and non food. It's a cultural thing. Don't think there is a township or village without one. That inner city waterfall is amazing. Your food videos are incredible and I always make sure now I've just eaten- or am about to eat. They tantalize my tastebuds no end. Happy travels, stay safe and be happy. 🙏 🇳🇿🙋 🇳🇱
Haha I'm glad you've learned not to watch on an empty stomach! Try editing on an empty stomach. It's a terrible idea
@@EatSeeRV you speak from experience I gather. 😂😂😂😂
My entire family, both sides, is from upstate NY. I have cousins that live in Rochester, but I have never been there. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
If you have some family in Rochester then you definitely need to go visit! - Dennis
Love watching Liz and Dennis!
Thanks for traveling with us David! - Dennis
My hubby carves the pumpkins but because of our warm Indian Summer that can't happen till later this week...I, however, paint mine and start early! If you catch my last video you will see our trip to the Patch for my birthday and how the first pumpkins turned out this year. The food in this video looked amazing! Worth the workout!
I'll be moving to Rochester at the end of this year ...thank you for video
Glad it helped! Good luck with the move
Absoulutely love rgis video!
Love the videos!!!!!
Thanks Beth!! :)
Funny seeing this, I live literally right cross from Rella. It’s been 3 years but never tried it! Hope you enjoyed rochester!
Oh my heavens eat a huge meal for me. Although I've heard the chef left. 😢
If you ever get back to Rochester get down to the port of Rochester and it's California rolling it's only open seasonal but if you want or Love sushi like I do it's great stuff try it out it's the best in this northeast part of this country
We love Rochester the home of Brother Wease and Dino K
Hey I wish I saw y’all I’ve been living here in Rochester my whole life
Love your friend's business idea! Find your niche. Are guinea pigs a thing again? They would have to be easier than my Lab pup. Cool area :)
Yeah we are impressed with everything she has accomplished!
I guess so, they do seem fairly easy pets to keep and are pretty cute too! - Dennis
Barely scratched the surface. Mingia. In fall, the first thing is to drive in some wooded areas to see the fall colors on the trees. The best part of Rochester is not even in the city itself.
Are you headed to Maine by chance? We just back and it was a great place to see the fall colors!!
Not this trip. I'm sure it's EPIC in fall. We want to go back but won't this trip. - Liz
I think I’ll make a Rochester vlog this weekend
Hit up cohoes falls! There’s a cool trail that goes along the falls on river st. in waterford!
Awesome! Thanks for the tip
Hola desde Sevilla, España. Me ha gustado ver que estás aprendiendo el idioma Español. Aunque nosotros en España no decimos "chido", eso es más de México. Nosotros los españoles decimos "chulo" cuando algo is very cool. ; )
We will soon visit Rochester again to be with our American family. We will visit again the places that you have shown in your beautifull video. I send you a big greeting from Andalusia. Seville. Spain.
Cool video. Cheers
Thanks F&T. Wishing you well!
Awesome pumpkin.
Thanks! 🎃
If you get to Rochester market there and you're buying food produce etc the smartest time to get it is not early morning it's late afternoon when they're all ready to push everything out very inexpensive and you're talking to an old school old dog boy from Rochester public market
hola Daniss y Liz muy bonitos sus videos cuando regresan a México
Hola Cruz, en el proximo año para inverno. - Liz
I was born and raised in Rochester but not the city and it’s getting so violent it’s kinda sad
where is 9 sec mark at?
Damn you gals are to much Fun yea New York has some pretty Attractive Places but ain't much to do tho Saratoga & Half-moon... Clifton Park got lots of Restaurant Joints
Love how you made My city look and different experience . I will say only certain type of people have a good time in Rochester. Inner city has a totally different culture and we have the best food and very authentic Rochesterian lol but many people will feel unsafe to go there to try. It’s a whole other side of Rochester inner city people will never know or experience, but at least I got to watch it through you lol
Sadly that's true for nearly every city. Glad we got to take you along and hope it's an experience you get to have yourself! Thanks for watching 😊
Music at 11:01 please? 😃
Pumpkins!
So fun! 🎃
Wow Rella gets 5 stars on yelp, I’ve never seen 5 stars for anything on yelp. Your Spanish is excellent, you do not sound like a gringa at all lol.
Best food in the world in Rochester NY
GOTHOM CITY!!!
How do u find a class with him in New york?

What? No Garbage Plate or white hots,?
btw you are the Life of the Party
You didn't eat the Rochester staple,. The Garbage Plate!
Lol.
I was born and raised. Unfortunately it's one of the most violent cities. Shootings and stabbings is just another day in Rochester. It's very sad.
I'm from San Diego and had to visit Rochester in middle of February so it was cold and snowy AF but from what I could tell the city is pretty shitty. San Diego seemed like heaven and was so happy when I flew home. Stay Classy S.D 😎
That's a good ass relationship when you allow ur man to see an old female friend.
I can teach you Spanish 😊
I have 3 boy Guinea pigs that need homes ….please reply back soon as possible
Glad you had a great time in a city with one of the highest crime rates in America!
🤣 that doesn't bother us.
Have you watched any of our other travel vlogs? Detroit, 21 states in Mexico series?
A city or country's reputation doesn't hinder the ability to have a great time while visiting.
Seek beauty and you will find it. - Dennis
H. A woman. Mayor knows
Big thing about people showing rochester is they talk about things not in rochester. It is a dirty little city that is dead
Everything we showed here was Rochester lol
You've been pronouncing it wrong this entire time and you know how you're supposed to say it if you your husband lived here say it with me now "Rotten Chester" a proud Rochester inhabitant
Why are you talking right next to a bunch of dirty shoes don't thru smell horrible and who would store worn shoes like that!! 😂
The city sucks, way too much violence.
Sorry to hear you feel that way. Violence plagues countless cities, such a shame.
Rochester = Dumpster
High falls,high crime,high taxes ,9 months of cold weather ,overcast skies and the mean snobbish folks around,,,,leaving for me was the only choice.
