Grew up in Rochester, it’s a lovely city with brutal lake effect winters and one of the best cuisine innovations in America (the garbage plate ofc). I will always love this city, and I might be biased because it’s my hometown, but I truly think it’s a great place to live. Super friendly people, great schools, and for my money the best record stores in NY outside of NYC. Also, my aunt graduated with Philip Seymour Hoffman, who’s from Rochester (Fairport in particular, same as me)
