I know it’s petty much the worst time for an out of towner to visit, since it’s when most things are closed.

I’ll be in town Sunday evening-Monday evening after a work event, finally staying a bit longer to explore the city some more. Where can a single late 30s woman hang out? At home I like museums/galleries, cool artsy and music shops, trivia/open mic nights, coffee shops, and to sit at a bar where I wouldn’t be looked funny at for reading a book alone or chatting with strangers.

I’ve been to strong museum but it’s been many years, I’ve eaten at pizza wizard, I’ve heard of swillburger.

Does anyone know of places to eat/drink/plant/explore that will be open during this awkward 24ish hour timeframe? Anything is better than staying at the airbnb and swiping on apps. Thanks!

I’m looking to see if there’s anyone who does professional body painting for a photoshoot, the only Google results I can find is for auto body painting and I’m looking for human body painting.

Hello! Looking for some suggestions for restaurants that are toddler friendly to take my son on a little date! (No dietary restrictions and not really picky)

As the title says, just got a scam text and i called esl to verify. Turns out ESL will NEVER send a link so dont click on anything if it seems legit.

Just received my first ever speeding ticket in the mail. Going 51mph in the 490 work zone. I had no idea they had speed trap cameras there.

My daughter is interested in getting a milk snake, specifically an albino milk snake. We recently went to REXPO but it wasn't the right time for us to purchase a snake yet. Does anyone know of any breeders in the greater upstate new york area ( I don't mind travelling a bit out of the way) or other reptile expo's like that we can go look at for a snake for her? Thank you!

Essex has an indie dance event I want to go to, but I'm the kind of person who can't relax and dance unless I'm full of liquor courage. It doesn't say on their FAQ if they serve any drinks at all, so I figured I'd ask here. Anyone know?

Happy Friday, all! Looking for the BEST SANTA recommendations in Rochester? I’m talking rosy cheeks & a real beard! One that restores the magic of Christmas. Had a baby this year & looking to get pictures with Santa. Can you help a gal out? Thank you!

I am starting my search for reception/afterparty venues for a wedding in late 2026. What are some venues in Rochester that allow food trucks OR venues that allow you to bring homemade desserts/appetizers/ hors doeuvres?

Any other venue recommendations would also be helpful!!

EDIT: okay i get it, I'll keep the homemade treats restricted to the engagement party at home 😂 any other suggestions on places that allow food trucks? The general gist i had in mind was hiring a LISCENSED dessert food truck at a bar/restauraunt/club/other fun space that doesn't really do dessert

Hi All,

Does anyone here know of a local seller for seed potatoes? I typically buy mine online but would rather get them around town if possible.

Looking for casual drinks by a fire in Rochester…. Any suggestions?

Anyone hear about any good Winter tire sales? I need to get some on my Chevy Cruze before it starts snowing.

Is there any place local that’s still selling pumpkins?

Where is the best place to buy Bills appearal (women's) in town without spending an arm and a leg?

With all these new apartments and converted lofts being constructed/renovated downtown, it seems they are getting filled. My question to the residents of these places are, 1) What kind of work do you do? (Poll) And 2) Why doesn't downtown seem busier with people for all the apartments? I mean I see some people and I get that people work but still... are people driving everywhere and not walking? All answers welcome! Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have been trying to pay my toll but the website keeps denying my credit card. I’ve used two different ones. Does anyone else face this problem?? It is pending on my bank account so I know I put in the right information.

Im planning to move to Rochester from ohio for college. And as a trans woman, I want to ask your community on how rochester and new york in general plan to protect its transgender citizens. I want to know if your local government plan to or would plan to put protects into place as well as the state government for trans peoples rights to hormone replacement therapy, name and gender marker change, ability to get sexual reassignment surgery aswell as other surgeries that benefit trans people, and to not be discriminated against due to our gender and transgender status. I know that Rochester is considered very lgbt friendly, and im hoping that that means that in our current and future political climate rochester will support its trans and broader lgbtq+ community.
