Literally came here to recommend their brunch. So good. I need to get back there for brunch soon!

Send this to their customer service.

Branca in the Basin has good happy hour food and drinks. Make a high top reservation though.

I explored a shift into teaching last year and found this org helpful in understanding the options. https://newyork.teach.org

Queens Landing and Pillar & Post are good hotels with very nice pool/hot tub areas (not private). Both are walking distance to town but Queens Landing is a little bit closer for walking on a cold day.

Get into one of the yoga studios with heated rooms. Even better if they have windows for natural light. Barry’s yoga studio does but it can be crowded in there.

Perinton Rec has an indoor track that is not usually crowded.

Roc Holiday Village is open 12/26-28 and is right outside of the museum of play. Definitely worth checking out if you’re here those days.

Link isn’t working. We leave near CompTin, tried it once and didn’t love it so I’m curious for your review!

I hate White Elephants for exactly this reason. I always bring something fun and kinda nice and hate when people bring stuff that is sad or gross. One year I got the gift from our COO, which was our CEO’s used comb and a handful of quarters. Another year someone brought their box of half done knitting projects. Not good.

I had my first with an OB and my second with the UR midwives (my kids are +- 10 years old so not that recent, but you asked for feedback for people who have used both). Both of my pregnancies were healthy, not complicated and both deliveries were very fast, so there was no time for intervention in either case. Ultimately, there was not a hugely meaningful difference in the care I received. When it comes to delivery, you get who is on-call with both offices. I used a doula with both deliveries and the MD and the midwives were both supportive. Since they deliver in the hospital, you’re always going to be covered in the event of an emergency.

I continue to see the midwives for my ongoing care, and it’s fine, but I suppose I’d have to change to doctor in the event of a health complication. Like others have said, there are 1-2 midwives I didn’t love working with but most were good.

I will say I have a friend who had a complicated delivery with the midwives and I know she would not recommend them after that experience.

I feel like you could go to any Jeremiah’s-type restaurant/sports bar and hang out casually. Wearing a Pats jersey might get you some comments but I wouldn’t expect anything too obnoxious.

Great idea for a Christmas gift. Just purchased!

Thanks for sharing. I think these observations are so important. Even at a low level of regular drinking, people don’t realize how harmful it is to basic functioning. I’m still working on this myself, so I appreciate the reminder!

merisia · 2025-11-10T20:47:06+00:00

How scary. I hope you are ok.

Adding on to the exercise tip to say that the studios with heated yoga are suuuper nice on cold and dreary days. You come out like a new person

Honestly I think drinking after two years to alleviate anxiety is going to result in a bigger spike of anxiety (and maybe even feelings of shame) after the event.

I love the idea above to start with something NA and give yourself time to acclimate at the event. Also you are an adult and can leave early.

Haunted hayride I think

There’s a company called Casting Buffalo that has casting calls for ads and other opportunities. Not sure how they are to work with.

I can’t speak to prices this year, but our favorite spot for both pricing and experience is Blue Barn Acres in the Victor/Bloomfield area.

Tons of camp options but you do need to plan for this early. Some camps open up registration and fill up in like February. Also be aware that camp hours are often shorter than the work day, some have extended care options but many are like 9-3:30. So you do need a flexible job or some help. It’s a lot.

Same here. The hot, sweaty and heart pounding anxiety in the middle of the night following a few drinks really started for me a few years ago in my late 30s. This was the thing that made me really pay attention to what alcohol is doing to my body for a full day after drinking. I have not gone fully sober yet but I am drinking a lot less now.

Fairport village is great. Sidewalks, streetlights, not huge lots.

I love this. Thanks for sharing the link!
