9. Eastman Museum for a slice of film/photographic history, beautiful gardens & historic architecture/interior decor 📸🎥
10. Genesee Brewing Company, it’s the biggest in town, everyone asks for Jenny be it here “at home” or elsewhere in the city 🍻
11. Leonore’s, to just gawk at the interior, have a milk punch & some Thai fusion snacks 🍜
