![[Save the guide] Three days & three nights in Rochester, New York ☺️. Roughly 3-hour drive from Toronto, there is also a train, from both NYC & TO.
Let’s go!
1. Strangebird Brewery, for crisp beer & tasty pizza. By popular vote seems to be favourite brewery in town 🍕

4. Living Roots Wine & Co., to taste some very cool wines from the Finger Lakes & Australia (sister vineyards) 🍷 come w/ at least peckish, the food here is also good, especially the pickled cheese!
5. The Strong National Museum of Play to break up the eating & drinking; play some games, see some historic toys & visit a butterfly garden where you will also find this handsome toucan 🦋
6. Ziggy’s for fun times, games, good chats & delicious drinks. Especially if you like rum, sours & tiki 🍹
7. La Bola for Mediterranean/Spanish influence food, pillowy desserts & refreshing wine 🦐
8. Black Button Distilling, to state some local spirits & really just hang out 🥃
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 🍜
12. Good Luck Restaurant, for those trendy vibes, reclaimed industrial decor, food & drink 🍹
13. Radio Social to make this an extra fun date night; play arcades, bowl or hung out at the bar 🎳
