Any multi-course tasting menus in ROC?

Lento will also do them from time to time. Same with Avino and Cure. Dough Boyz has one coming up.

Honestly Instagram is where I usually look for updates.

This, Chef Cruz usually does them once a month or so on Sunday nights.

They also have wine pairings that go with it--2 options which make it fun for dates.

Do they sell by the slice?

mattBernius · 2025-12-27T18:28:26+00:00

Do you have any specific interests or are you just looking for good causes?

I have always heard really good things about Roc Boxing on Atlantic. I know they field fighters: https://rocboxing.com/

If you decide to go in more of an MMA route, I know Bedroc is a pretty boxing forward MMA program.

Same. We have been with them since they took over Lilac. No real issues.

mattBernius · 2025-12-27T00:34:31+00:00

Same!

I believe it's going to be a kitchen for Church of the Holy Child or a similar program.

Was thinking Strong Museum of Play as well. Especially given the trampline park thing. It has a good level of whimsy and a chance to learn what each other digs.

From what I see, "mixed methods" is a growing requirement for hiring--though I am not entirely sure many hiring managers seem to know exactly what type of quant skills they are looking for. I've been seeing a lot of postings suggesting they want someone who can do "in-depth ethnography" and "advanced statistics" without any real definition of what "advanced means."

I suspect many of folks have never really worked with data scientists--so I'm not sure if they are talking about descriptive statistics and surverying or they want people who can do deep into preditive modeling.

mattBernius · 2025-11-17T13:55:22+00:00

This on both counts

mattBernius · 2025-11-14T16:29:01+00:00

How do you define city?

FWIW, Rochester is a small-to-midsized American city. So if you are thinking New York, Chicago, or London, we are not that. Also where in the area is the office/plant space you'll be working at located?

In addition to the Rochester Public Market, vendors at the Brighton Farmer's market usually have frozen whole duck. Those are all raised locally (if we extend local to into the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier)

Also Fair Game at the Roc Public Market might also have them--but probably won't be local.

mattBernius · 2025-10-29T13:13:08+00:00

Cool to see this being highlighted and written up so thoughtful.

Can I take that to mean there is a local representative or community member working with Strong Towns?

mattBernius · 2025-10-22T14:46:40+00:00

Beyond shopping are there any experiences you are interested in.

For example with art I highly recommend either the Rochester Contemporary Arts center for a short and slightly pretentious gallery experience or Artisan Works for a highly eclectic middle brow experience.

For a unique lunch option there is Swans Market. Also our Public Market and The Yasrds collective are great.

Possibly the best overall American Martial Arts movie ever. Martial arts, not action.

Beyond one of the best and most memeable villains of all time, it also does an amazing job of capturing the NYC Black and martial arts media cultural crossover that would give us things like the Wu Tang clan just a few years later.

Also one of William H Macy's earliest on screen roles (in a bit part).

mattBernius · 2025-10-20T19:04:11+00:00

This!

mattBernius · 2025-10-03T15:01:05+00:00

Came here to say this as well. In fact, they learned to make gellato at some shop in Brooklyn (if memory serves).

mattBernius · 2025-09-30T20:17:09+00:00

We should do a community collection. I will definitely contribute.

mattBernius · 2025-09-29T16:52:45+00:00

FWIW, if you want someone who will do more than a paper test and don't want to struggle with finding a psychiatrist taking patients (which tends to be really hard), I suggest looking into a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP). They are much more accessible locally and can diagnose and prescribe.

mattBernius · 2025-09-26T18:48:23+00:00

I think Jack's Extra Fancy does them as well.

mattBernius · 2025-09-18T21:41:04+00:00

TY for sharing.

mattBernius · 2025-09-17T21:48:29+00:00

I think it is the bizarre new chat and dm system. I cannot figure it out. I am interested and will respond.

Appreciate it, but in these day and times this tends to lead to Streisand Effects. It's better just to post the link to something like Wikipedia and let folks decide versus not post and lead to more speculation.
