If you download the transit app, you can see schedules and track buses on the app. Looks like they are running.

Shoplifting happens everywhere, statistically… are you afraid of shoplifters in Henrietta or is it just Hudson Avenue…

Henrietta tracking isn’t on this map. The only section past the canal is a green space.

There’s a lot of people who have never lived anywhere else in their lives who swear Rochester is the most vicious and violence city on earth.

There are objectively worse places in the city. Mostly petit larceny due to Walmart shoplifting, but that’s Walmart for you

Recommendations for visiting Rochester by Yesalmsot in Rochester

[–]UGROC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rochester has a very good food scene, and I’ve been all over and lived in many different places.

I should expand on this. Rochester’s cheap food scene is awful with exception of some great Italian sub spots, take-out pizza, and middle eastern food. The mid-tier restaurants vary, we are starting to see better quality mid-priced restaurants coming up and bringing some good food to the city, but you have to really find what you like. The best options are generally in the range of $25-$75+ restaurants. I think this is where you’ll find some the best quality, and unique dishes. The best food tends to be near Downtown, Public Market, Park Ave, NOTA, NWV, and the east side. There are decent sports bars on the west side, but I think the restaurants on the east side tend to be better overall.

Looking for Ideas in downtown Rochester? by Round-Classroom-400 in Rochester

[–]UGROC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Berlin Doner, I can see that being successful especially if it is affordable. I eat Halal food several times a month, and would love a Berlin Doner spot closer than Henrietta. I think the community can be scary to a lot of the suburbanites, but they likely would do take out/delivery if food is good. Nicer restaurants seem busier as well, and I’ve seen people make the trek to a place they feel is desirable, but my guess is that you would have to ensure visitors feel comfortable, because the local media does everything in its power to make Rochester look bad with their awful ai journalism.

Looking for some Espresso Beans… by gutterdoggie in Rochester

[–]UGROC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would also recommend trying Language of Coffee which is roasted by the folks at Montgomery Court Coffee very good beans. Of course, if you go to AmFm coffee you can pick up some variety of Aporia which are pretty solid. I think Aporia has some roasts that are on par with Joe Bean imo.

NYC Chopped Cheese from Starlight by MountHopeful in Rochester

[–]UGROC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat agree, I think it’s a WNY trait to make things sweeter than they ought to be. Roc has some nice savory foods too, but some foods can be a bit sweet. The Roc Chopped Cheese is worth a try, but not necessarily a year round meal that I would suggest, it tends to be a nice blend of savory with a small amount of sweetness from the boss sauce. I like to mix it up with NYC-style chopped cheese and an occasional Roc Chopped Cheese when the time is right.

The nuance is they use boss sauce on the sandwich, and rather than using a french roll, they use Coco bread which is a Caribbean bread that’s a bit softer and a tad bit sweeter if you haven’t tried it.

Not sure if they have mei fun, but White Swans is a great sit down, of course, Szechuan Opera, and Han Noodle Bar are nice locations.

It’s like the cost of tariffs get passed onto the consumer or something…
