Rochester, New York skyline: the 46 most iconic buildings and best views in Rochester

The Susan B. Anthony Museum & House is a beautifully kept piece of history in our own backyard. My wife, her cousin and I decided to head over on a sunny and hot Saturday afternoon. We went into the museum to buy tickets and browsed for about 10 minutes until the next tour time started. Armani was our guide and she was lovely. She shared many fun facts along with the history that made our guided tour fun. I had no idea why Susan was always pictured so you only saw her side profile and now I know. The home is filled with many historic items, some from when Susan lived there while others reflect the time period of when Susan was alive. The time and energy that went into the house when she lived there is astounding. The third floor was one of my favorite areas. The lady with the alligator purse nursery rhyme was a personal favorite that I had never heard before my tour. Both the museum and the house are air conditioned. We ended up visiting the cemetery afterward to visit both Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass’ graves. Maps are provided at the museum if you are interested in doing that after a tour.

Great museum! The tour guide was great, and I learned a lot!

We had a lovely time at this museum! We bought tickets in advance for the house tour, but it wasn’t busy so you probably don’t need to. The tour was quick and succinct, but we felt like we saw everything and learned a good amount! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, great with engaging some of the younger kids on the tours, and did a great job relating Susan B. Anthony’s historical work to modern times and events happening in our country today.

Both my husband and I just want to say thank you for keeping her legacy alive. I've wanted to visit the museum for a few years. But being self-employed got in the way. We made our reservations online and showed up early. Private and street parking are available. Even your property caretaker was a wonderful man. Since we were early, he asked if we wanted to visit the park down the street where we could see a statue of Susan with Frederick Douglas having tea. We did stop later. Our tour guide was amazing 👏 to remember so many details of a person's life and to inform us with such energy and excitement. I felt like Susan was going to walk inside any minute. The passion and wisdom were truly felt. We both have issues with steps, and she waited patiently and offered a chair for both of us. The house is filled with multiple pieces owned by both Susan and her mother. I could mention so much more! If you believe ♥️ in equal rights for everyone, this place is for you. I'm so sorry I can't remember our guides name 😔

We had a wonderful tour with Emma, our very knowledgeable guide!

We did not take the house tour. The museum is tiny, but the display is thorough - Four walls of a small room covered with info boards, containing photos and snippets of her historical timeline. I read everything slowly enough to absorb and finished in about 30 minutes. So, 5stars for a quick and free event stop and the friendly reception from the lady at the front desk. We were on our way to the airport and it was perfect for the time we had to spare. There is also a reception area, gift shop and restroom.

When you find yourself in times of trouble look to the hardships of history to motivate the movement toward tomorre

We loved the tour! It takes about 45 minutes and I strongly recommend it. The mansion is well-preserved and you'll definitely feel the atmosphere that this place had a century ago.

The George Eastman Museum is an absolute gem in Rochester, and my recent visit was outstanding from start to finish. The museum itself is beautifully preserved, blending the elegance of George Eastman’s historic home with fascinating exhibits on photography, cinema, and innovation. What truly made the experience memorable, however, was the docent-led tour. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also engaging, weaving together history, personal anecdotes, and fun facts that brought Eastman’s story to life. They had a wonderful way of explaining details about the house, gardens, and Eastman’s legacy in a way that kept everyone in the group interested. I especially enjoyed being taken into the garden, where the docent, Marianne highlighted design elements and shared thoughtful insights I would have missed if I had toured on my own. It gave the whole visit a personal touch and made the history feel vibrant and accessible. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend taking a docent-led tour—it elevates the entire experience and gives you a much deeper appreciation for both George Eastman and the museum’s collections.

The Eastman Museum was the highlight of our visit to Rochester! The entire place is beautifully maintained and spotless, with stunning interiors that truly reflect its history. Our tour guide was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much richer with their insights. There’s also a cozy café and engaging activities for kids, which makes it great for families. The museum is fully accessible for visitors using wheelchairs and offers large free parking, which was very convenient. Overall, it was the best activity we did in Rochester, and I highly recommend visiting!

This was a great museum and mansion that far exceeded my expectations. As someone else also said, the guided tour is what makes it fun. The stories about George Eastman are eye opening and personal. I really enjoyed looking at all the cameras, video cameras, and technology through time. Eastman was a genius! His home and gardens were so different from other homes of 5he early 1900’s.

I love history and this place is full of it! The mansion is in pristine condition. Definitely get a tour for the docent was excellent. The gardens are beautiful, as you can see we had a perfect day for seeing the grounds. The Eastman Kodak museum is connected to the mansion...so much film history. Read the description of the large camera pic I posted, really interesting.

Amazing museum, house and gardens! We were lucky to hear the organ being played which was very pleasant and making the atmosphere special. Beautifully preserved rooms. They also have a cafe inside the museum. Plenty of parking.

Very kind staff, beautiful property and nicely arranged historical rooms. We found the experience overall not worth the price - especially on the photography/video side. That said, we aren’t huge connaisseurs in this field. Maybe better suited to photography aficionados or if you follow a guided tour?

The Strong National Museum of Play completely lives up to its name — it’s pure fun, learning, and nostalgia rolled into one. We went as a family with both adults and kids, and every one of us had different favorites — which says everything about how much there is to do here. The exhibits are hands-on, creative, and thoughtfully designed, from the classic toys and video games to the pretend play areas and immersive displays. You could easily spend the whole day here and still find new things to explore. The only downside was that the bathrooms could have been cleaner — no soap first thing in the morning and a few stalls looked like they hadn’t been checked since the night before. Hopefully just a timing issue, because everything else was fantastic. The staff were friendly, the layout was well-organized, and the entire experience was memorable from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back — we’re planning for another full day!

This is the best place for kids (and me!)😁 It has the largest areas of play for kids at different ages. It entertains, teaches and inspires my kids. It's such a cool place and I would love to come here a few times a week! I wished the membership was cheaper though.

Best children’s museum I’ve ever been to! We stopped on our way back from the Midwest, going to New England, and my husband is already wanting to plan a trip to Rochester next year, just to spend more time at the museum! My son who was 1.5yo when we visited, LOVED it! I like how there’s activities for kids at every age (even adult nostalgia), and there’s even an outside area for kids to run around in (enclosed).

Outstanding National Treasure in the middle of Rochester! I went to the museum with my 4 year old granddaughter on Monday when senior rates are in effect. It is not cheap and family membership makes more sense than paying admission only a few times a year. It takes several days to appreciate the enormous amount of exhibits housed at the Strong. Parking is $10 on top of admission without a membership. I have been to art and science museums around the world and this museum blew me away. Can't say enough good things about it. Go, just go. Had such a great time that I didn't take many pictures; I was too enthralled with the displays and activities for young and old.

Had a great experience at the Strong Museum! My kids had a blast—there were tons of fun activities for them. I especially enjoyed seeing the classic games from the ’90s, like the pinball machines. Brought back memories! Pretty sure the new generation has no idea how to play some of those, but it was fun showing them.

This was the first time visiting and well worth it. The history of games is deep and will keep you very entertained. The staff was very friendly and the food choices varied. I would have liked access to a reference room with books and possibly a game software catalog. Definitely worth visiting again. Great museum for one or the entire family.

This was our second time visiting with our son. First time he was 2 years old and he had a great time. This visit he's now 7 years old and was able to enjoy different parts of the museum that cater to his age. He even got to have fun in some of the same sections he did as a 2 year old. This museum is really one of my favorites. It's fun for the whole family, not just the little ones. The history of video games and the history of board games really stands out for me. Very clean and easy to navigate. Highly recommend! My son would also like to add his words: "Most museums we only go to once, but this museum is far away from us, and we want to go to it a lot of times. The Strong Museum of Play is really fun. I love all the sections and could spend a whole day there. Can't wait to go back!"

I really enjoyed my visit to the Memorial Art Gallery. It has a decent and diverse collection that’s worth exploring. However, a couple of things could be improved. Many paintings on the first floor didn’t have any descriptions, which made it hard to fully appreciate them. Also, the ancient Middle East section is placed in a bad spot in the museum. Besides, it has very beautiful manuscripts and relics, but the lack of lighting didn’t do them justice (shown in one of the photos). Still, overall a nice place to spend a few hours.

A gem of a place. I went knowing very little about the Gallery, other than it was organized thematically. I found works that I've only seen online. To say that my heart felt deep happiness doesn't describe that visceral feeling when art touches you. It's different for everyone. And indeed, there is something for everyone! Many time periods, styles and regions are represented: thematically, by countries, techniques and centuries. The presentation on the Italian Baroque Organ was marvelous. To be surrounded by the genre paintings, made it easier to imagine that this was part of daily life. Be sure to check the time 3pm on the actual date, not the general description that incorrectly says 3:30pm.

We love this museum both inside and out! We have taken so many pictures in their outdoor sculpture park! We most recently went for their Pride celebration. They have scavenger hunts for the kids both inside and outside! The Rotating gallery is always worth checking out! ;)

Well arranged and comprehensive gallery for a medium-sized city. Particularly great selection of Renaissance paintings, some great post-impressionist works. The organ is spectacular. Stunning building as a backdrop. Great display of local, contemporary artists.

A beautiful and well balanced collection. A must see. Larger than one would expect so give yourself enough time to appreciate its offerings.

Incredible Gallery !! Rembrandts, Monets. Historical artifacts that you will not believe are in front of you. Fascinating.

While I enjoyed all the available art this is the piece that truly spoke to me. I am AuDHD and when I saw this I was like hey..... Thats my brain! It felt so validating to see this representation display in such a great place as the Memorial Art Gallery and I would be willing to bet many others do too.

A godsend during Covid as I used to live nearby and spent most afternoons strolling around the cemetery. It really is a magnificent place! You can easily gather the history of Rochester from Mount Hope Cemetery if you play attention.

What has happened to this beautiful cemetary? The upkeep and landscaping are awful. Tall grass between and around headstones, I counted easily 25 knocked over or broken stones just to the left of the entrance! It looks like an abandoned spooky movie set. This used to so well maintained and historic part of Rochester. What a disappointment when visiting Rochester! Please take the vandalism seriously, these are people's family members!

Among others, the Mount Hope Cemetery is the final resting place of women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) and abolitionist Frederick Douglass (1817-1895). It is 196 acres in size and contains some 350,000 interments. It was founded in 1838. The cemetery is very drivable (at low speed, of course) and that's a good thing as the more famous graves are some distance apart. Please be respectful when you visit - it is an active cemetery and there are people here laying family members to rest.

This is a beautiful cemetery with fantastic landscape of trees and graves. Many famous historical figures. I could wander around in here for hours, that's for sure! So peaceful!

The guided tour through the cemetery was very informative and beautiful. There were many stops to talk about different people and their contributions to Rochester. The tour had some "off path" areas, but much of it was on a gravel path and easy to navigate. The Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery is a wonderful nonprofit organization to help restore the cemetery and maintain the stones. The tour was 90 minutes and costs $15. They have various tours throughout the season and we are themed! Worth checking out! Sarah our tour guide was very nice and informative, she kept it interesting and kept everyone engaged. The cemetery is open daily for walking through to enjoy nature. There are paved paths throughout that would be easy to navigate with strollers or wheelchairs!

Absolutely breathtaking. Visited for the first time in early November to pray for the dead. The foliage and the entire cemetery was picture-perfect. On Voting Day, prepare to leave your sticker for Susan B. Anthony. Oh, and definitely wear your walking shoes!

My family has had a plot in Mt Hope Cemetery since 1958 so I have been there often.. We have nine family members resting there. I cannot properly describe my disappointment with the upkeep of the cemetery over the past year. Today, toppled gravestones which appear to be caused by vandals, over grown grass between many, many headstones. The cemetery is no longer a place of beauty and serenity. Besides this being my family's resting place, it is a National Landmark. Shame on Rochester for letting it settle into disarray. I am saddened and angry.

The museum always delivers! It provides many always changing experiences and setups. My children love running around learning and playing here. There was a themed event happening this weekend which they do often and it added even more fun to the mix. There were vendors and tables set up to learn about things in our local community. Always clean and refreshing. Would being my kids again and again.

Nothing too fancy to see here. The museum has three floors, but most of the interesting stuff is on the second floor. General admission is $23, and the senior/student discount is just $1 less, which really doesn’t make much sense. For this price, I didn’t feel it was worth it. Compared to all the science museums that I've seen, this was honestly my least favourite! The souvenir shop was also disappointing, very limited selection, and I couldn’t literally find anything I actually wanted to buy.

We had a great time visiting the Rochester Museum & Science Center and the Strasenburgh Planetarium! It’s an amazing spot for families, especially with curious kids who love to explore and learn through hands-on fun. The museum itself is packed with interactive exhibits — from exploring science and technology to diving into local history and nature. It was super engaging and educational without feeling like school work. The Strasenburgh Planetarium was a real highlight. We caught a show in the dome theater, and it was both relaxing and awe-inspiring. The presentation was easy to follow for all ages. It definitely sparked a lot of space-related questions on the ride home! The staff was friendly and patient, and everything felt clean and well-maintained. There’s a small café and a gift shop. I’ve noticed some families brought lunch from home and ate in the café area, but we drove about 4 minutes away to grab fast food. Overall, it’s a great place to spend a day learning and having fun as a family. Highly recommend if you’re in the Rochester area, especially on a rainy day or when you’re looking for something meaningful to do with the kids! Clean, educational and fun. Highly recommend!

I love it here and look forward to going again! There was so much great information on display in creative ways. While I went on my own, as an adult, I noticed that there were many interactive tools for children to learn from. I especially appreciate how both the museum and planetarium center the voices and experiences of Indigenous people.

As far as a MUSEUM goes this one is fantastic. That being said, this place is meant for field trips and schools, as it's way better than a school day, but comes up short for a family day. I scoured reviews and looked for photos of exhibits but came up with very little information before we went. I took a 9 year break from RMSC and decided to take the kids back this week. The kids are 27 , 11 , 7 and 5 years old. Though they tried their best to keep a positive attitude, this was misery for them. We covered the entire museum in under 90 minutes. Though something here or there would get their attention for say, 60 seconds, we really struggled here. We arrived at 12:15 and there was NO parking. They are charging too much for this museum. It's a museum. It's mostly look at the exhibits and walk around. And frankly kids don't want to do that. 10-12$ pp would have been reasonable. They are charging "play museum" prices but come up beyond short. The museum is amazing. For a school trip. For a learning environment. But we do not consider this a fun family day.

I visited the RMSC with my 2 teenage boys. I was worried that they'd be bored there but I was pleasantly surprised! Even though they know how and why things occur, they still had a blast playing and tinkering at all the learning stations. We had a very thorough lesson on earthquakes, watched a rocket launch propelled by liquid nitrogen and stood in a faraday cage while electricity arched towards us at the Electricity Theater. Science sure is fun!

Had a great time. Museum has interactive activities for the kids. The day we went they had an engineering workshop along with a small medical workshop. This place has 3 floors of activities. There is an elevator for quick access to all the levels including the ground level where a small dinning and snacking area is located. They also have lockers for rent. Plenty of parking

This building is beautiful! The atrium lunch area is amazing. I would love to work in this building. The parking garage is conveniently located next door with a walkway on the 2nd floor attached so you don't have to go outside. If you have a chance you should go and check out the companies that are inside this building and see the architecture!

39 State St. I went there. For my interview with a place to stay. It was very small

Highly recommend Horn Wright law firm. Five stars easily for the work they do.

Love the building's architecture.

This is beautiful historical building.. Not sure of its history but when you walk in you can feel that this building was something important. I went to go visit a law firm there and the whole building is classy. I believe I even saw a courtyard as well.

Great building, great administration. I think the prettiest buildings in Rochester, at one point it was the tallest building, and the first building to have elevators. The administration used to charge 10 cents per ride.

A really cool building with the best law office, Cellino Law! It has some really interesting pictures, and has to be one of the best looking buildings in Rochester.

So much great artwork and fascinating things to see! Very unique. We also took a tour and our guide April was amazing. Definitely a fun place to visit.

If you're in Rochester and it happens to be a Friday Saturday or Sunday, this is a must visit venue. It's a huge former manufacturing facility renovated into a place that shows art and holds events. If a world-class Art gallery and an amazing event venue had a baby, it would be Artisan Works. This is at least a 2-hour walk through filled with all manner of Art in all forms of media, vintage cars, themed rooms, paintings and sculptures, photography, you name it and it's probably here or represented. I even spotted some Andy Warhol prints as well as a very large collection of Rochester's own Mark Groaning's work. Definitely come by and check this place out. Also of note, every Sunday from noon to 4:00 p.m. Artisan Works has a thrift sale and you can find some really really amazing work as well as incredibly low-priced items there. Items change and are refreshed every week.

Probably one of the most unique places in Rochester! Take a rainy day and spend a few hours being entertained. The Frank Lloyd Wright room is my favorite.

We attended our granddaughter's wedding reception here just recently. It was a magical celebration and we give the entire staff kudos for being so awesome. Everything happened so seamlessly. They saw to our every need with grace and friendliness. Wonderful food, fun, and memories. Thank you to all. 100 o/o recommended.

Very interesting lots of artwork from many different styles. Many older cars

Uniquely provocative and artistic. Lots of arts and big space to roam and enjoy.

First of all, this posting is from Brian, Pam's husband. ARTISANworks is a special place and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Pam and I started attending events and auctions (including anniversary celebrations of friends) at ARTISANworks what must be a few decades ago now and we've always found it to be an enchanting environment. A good portion of the art and sculpture we have in our home is from ARTISANworks including an "ass" stool that i bid on while quite inebriated during one of those famous early auctions that Louis hosted. It's still in the basement if anyone is interested! Kudos to Kim and her staff for continuing the great work at ARTISANworks and for expanding the breadth of offerings and performances over the past frew years. We always enjoy visiting Kim and we'll always remember Louis in our hearts. Keep up the fantastic work and any chance in the future of getting the City to allow you to reopen that rooftop bar? Gosh, loved that place!

Experience was ok tickets were $13. Chairs are reclining type almost look like lawn chairs. Bought tickets online but had to get in line at the box office to get the actual tickets for someone else to scan and let us in. Additionally, the experience was not a 360 degree view like other planetarium’s we’ve been to.

Walked out half way through the show. They no longer use the projector for projecting, just to hang a trans flag. I'm not sure what that has to do with space. Comfy chairs with speakers were replaced with garbage. If they over sell tickets, there are lawn chairs they pull out. Theater was filled with small children who could care less about constellations. Thank god the tickets were only $11. Digital imagery was terrible. Show started 10 min late with little kids crying. Just a horrible experience all around.

Went to Beautifica. Show was amazing. Sitting was awful though and I hated the new plastic lawn chairs that replaced the old reclining ones. I literally thought I had come in during renovation and the chairs must be temporary. I was wrong and those hard, non comfortable chairs are the ones they actually wanted. I did not get a full screen of Beautifica as my chair did not allow it. I mean can we start a GoFundMe for proper chairs or something?

We accidentally purchased tickets to a CC show on Black Holes. The CC was huge and really distracted from the visuals so unless you are hard of hearing avoid those. That was our fault. The show was very good but the seats were terrible esp if you are a shorter person. My wife was extremely uncomfortable and left with a sore lower back and a headache. Not the experience we remember from the days of great seating. We would love to return but not until the seats are replaced.

I went there for the Pink Floyd laser show for the first time probably since the 80s. It's all changed. The chairs are absolutely and extremely uncomfortable. The basically kind of cheap lawn chairs. There is no proper ventilation in the theater area. I had to leave! There is no refund so I count my losses! I just explained that I will not ever come back. And I am very serious! Very very terrible experience. Why they ripped up those chairs that they had with the speakers on them from several years ago I don't know. But with the improper ventilation in the theater and the uncomfortable chairs experience! I definitely will not be going back

We recently went for the Mesmerica show. The planetarium was conveniently located with plenty of parking. Inside there's hands on things to experience before entering the actual dome area. Inside the dome area, there's chairs that resemble/feel like outdoor cloth lawn chairs, where the upper half reclines to allow better viewing of the ceiling and surrounding area. There is no leg/foot rest to the chairs. The room is quite chilly, so dress appropriately. The bathrooms are in the back of the building and maybe not the most conveniently located. Overall, a nice place to visit.

First time here and it was amazing! We went to the Holiday Laser Show. Classic Christmas tunes both instrumental and lyrical were synchronized with beautiful laser displays. Seating was comfortable and socially distanced. Fantastic kick off to the holidays!

AMAZING. Hidden little thing. Full of history! GREAT, informative, enthusiastic, friendly volunteers, and awesome price of tickets and gifts. I loved it so much!

Had such an amazing experience here! Learned a lot about the lighthouse including it being the 2 oldest lighthouse at the great lakes! The climb up the lighthouse is a trip in itself worth making it to the top! Evelyn was so knowledgeable, found the mini gift shop they said everything was for sale so of course I offered to buy Evelyn and bring her back to NM with us! Definitely recommend making a stop here you won't be disappointed!! 😁

Interested historical lighthouse glad I was able to come across it on my way through town unfortunately wasn't open when I was there if your in the area definitely worth checking out

This is a volunteer run facility, and the people who assisted us (Bob, Kathy, Frank) were absolutely wonderful people full of a wealth of information. You get to climb to the top of the lighthouse with the tour and it was an amazing view of the river and lake. Would recommend.

Frank, Bob, and Kathy were all wonderful during our visit! Super informative, friendly, and definitely made the experience very fun. Ticket and souvenir buying process was very easy and straightforward.

Bob, Kathy, and Frank were wonderful! This volunteer run museum is a great stop if you’re only in the area for the day!

Who doesn't love a lighthouse? A climb to the top involves an actual ladder at the end. You can still enjoy the view from a window if you don't get that far. Enthusiastic docents and inexpensive entry fee. Not open every day.

Beautiful. Short, easy walk from Lamberton Conservatory. Lovely views.

Houses the Landmark Society so you can't tour the inside. Built in the 1800s it's an interesting building. The sunken garden behind the castle is unique and worth a quick visit.

Kids love this place. Sunken garden is nice for pictures. Back path leads to outdoor auditorium at highland park- I think its called the highland bowl..

Rented time for wedding photos at the Sunken Garden and wanted to find where it was. It was an absolutely magical place, even better than the pictures I’d seen online. As for the Castle itself, they had a sign that read “No public tours at this time,” so I wasn’t able to enter but will look to make reservations, if available to do so, in the near future.

Came here for a 1st and 2nd grade field trip as a chaperone. Our guide was great at keeping the kids interested and everyone learned a lot about the history of the home

I came to Stone-Tolan house with my class for a field study. The docents who gave us an educational tour were excellent with my young students, very knowledgeable about the history of the home and land, and completely flexible about what we would focus on as we learned about this historical site.

Worth the visit! so much history about the settling of Rochester

Beautifully restored old home museum. Great site to learn more on the history of the Rochester area.

Amazing history. Great place for a field trip!

We went for a special fund raising event. It's an awesome historic site to visit.

Really cool place. Chris Hogan is awesome!!! I love his story telling :D

This place is a MUST-SEE music landmark! The collection of vinyl, equipment, and the memorabilia seems infinite here. You are almost guaranteed to not leave empty-handed. The wall of signatures was also breathtaking!

You feel like you are in an award winning guitarist’s dream world. Sooo many guitars, guitar accessories, records, cds,tapes,vinyls, sheet music, concert T shirts & more. Floors and floors of it. Decades of music history! Enjoy🎶

The guys at the HOG always treat me well. Been going there for 30 ish years. Always get a great deal, always get great stuff! Today was no different. Highly reccommend them.

Bought my first guitar here 25 years ago and stopped in recently during a visit to Rochester. Place hasn't changed a bit!! A MUST visit for any music fan. Huge collection of records and shirts scattered all over the floor just like I remember too. A true gem

As an Irondequoit local this has become my favorite store in town. There's a wide selection of musical stuff, not just guitars but other instruments too. In fact this place could double as a museum as I've found things here I didn't even know existed (like a giant bass mandolin or a bass ukulele). All the male employees upstairs are really cool and helpful, they seem to really love their job and want to go the extra mile for people looking at guitars (with the exception of the older female who works there sometimes who isn't friendly at all lol so I stay away from her). Recently I was talking to the guys about a guitar there that I kept coming in to see and had been saving up for and didn't want anyone else to buy. They said that they did layaway for 90 days, and I said I needed more time than that because my vehicle had just broken down and I kept getting hit with expenses for repairs and such and didn't want to put it on layaway and then lose the money I'd put down because I couldn't come up with the rest in time...So what did they do? They said they would set it aside for me anyway and let me come in with the money when I had it! It's such a weight off my mind because I'm already married to that guitar emotionally lol. These guys are some of the best salesmen I've ever met. I love how they have such a low pressure, customer is always right attitude. They don't give you any sales pitches or anything like that, they just act like they will bend over backwards for you like no salesman ever does. And they make you feel right at home in the store and don't treat you like an interloper if you are just coming in to window shop and play guitars to see how they sound. My two favorite employees to deal with there are Gavin and Mikey, make sure you ask for them they are really great guys to talk to about music. The owner of the record store downstairs is also really cool to talk to and is like an encyclopedia of musical knowledge and stories and I look forward to seeing him anytime I pass through, and recommend you do as well - his name is Armand and he's the one wearing the sport coat. However, unfortunately the other employees downstairs aren't friendly, and the blonde teen girl who works there is not only rude but will literally insult you if you ask her questions about music she doesn't know the answer to or not like her favorite band/album as much as she does. In all my years I've never had a salesperson act that way, its pretty crazy what they get away with down there, so the bad vibe of the record store is the only reason I don't give this place 5 stars and I don't like to spend any time down there at all if the owner isn't there because the other staff make it so uncomfortable. I honestly didn't even really care so much about the messiness of the place, I mean it is cluttered and claustrophobic but I was thinking about starting an old fashioned record collection and was excited at how much there was to look through...but I couldn't even begin browsing before I was getting insulted by a grade school mean girl and as an adult I don't need to deal with that from anyone...especially not sales people I'd be buying from lmao so I only shop upstairs. Lastly, there's the custom shop up on the top floor which does really great work at a competitive price. You can bring them any kind of guitar in any kind of condition and they can help. Be it fixing just a slight fret buzz or a garbled sounding humbucker, or fixing a guitar that's totally busted, or building a custom guitar from scratch (they have helped me with all of these things before and more). They really know the guitar inside out. And they are very personable too and I look forward to seeing them whenever I need help

One of the most iconic stores in Rochester. They have a huge collection of guitars, amps, pedals, drums and nearly any accessory you could need for any of them. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and they stand behind their products. I've bought 5 guitars here so far and countless other doodads and I've had a great experience every time. Thank you everyone at the HOG!

The name says it all. Absolutely loved this guitar and cd store! The staff were great, they had a huge selection of cd’s and guitar, the place was HUGE, and the place was clean. We at least spent 2 hours at this place and got a few picks and gear from here while we were in the area. They also have amplifiers, keyboards, ukuleles, and much, much more. Their signature wall near the cd’s was sick as well. It’s worth checking out.

Beautifully kept walking areas for all ages with lush green grass and trees.

very beautiful hiking trails some paved some unpaved lots of beautiful nature nice people laid-back atmosphere very beautiful highly recommend

Breathing taking views !

Great bike ride! Wonderful trail.

Should be cleaned, needs restrooms and solar charging tables.

Paved hiking/biking trail mostly along Geneser River. Boardwalk where waterfowl and other wildlife are found. Mostly tree covered. Beautiful. Goes from Lake Ontario / Charlotte to Lake Ave. at Ridge Rd. where bike lane ends.

A new expansion of the Genesee River way Trail System connecting High Falls Trail To the Smith Street Bridge. A very nice undiscovered Park area that offers another great overview of the gorge and High Falls from the Overlook Park. Paved and a great bike trails.

A historical corporate building of movies and films. Golden ages and iconic land marks Too bad there isn’t a Kodak museum that I can learn more about the history.

Kodak tower has lot of history in photography and film making.. Pictures taken in 2005

George Eastman was a great inventor that changed the art of communication forever. Some people do things, other see things being done and others ask if something have been done. He did it!

Historic building from the early days of the Eastman Kodak Company. They still operate from this building. Noi access to the public, but a nice architectural design.

It's a place of business. Nothing interesting going on there because they won't let you in the building.

This is where my son high school is located

One of my favorite part of the city best

Opening night of the 22nd annual Rochester Jazz Fest 2025. Smokey Robinson was the headliner. The last time I saw him in concert was 53 years ago at L.A.’s jewel, The Griffith Theater. I was 17 and he is now 85!!!! His sweet, melodic voice is still the same and for 85 the man is in incredible shape. He played many of his famous tunes and even some from his soon to be released album (yes, that’s right. At 85 he is still making new music). I thoroughly enjoyed him, the concert and he played to a packed Eastman Theater. What a treat!!

Love RPO for its great programming and guest musicians as well as fab resident conductor.. My 95 yr old mother-in-law (with her season tickets!) encouraged us to try RPO 12-15 years ago.. the grandchildren come several times a year for special children’s programs too! Nice selections of refreshments too! Staff is lovely too 👏

What a great theatre. We loved how close it was to the hotel we were staying at. The seats we sat in were awesome. It was seriously a perfect venue for the show we went to see.

Attended the Simon Business School commencement here and it was a great venue. Acoustics are excellent and the seats are more comfortable than most. The ushers were absolutely the stars of the show.

Beautiful theater with grand design. Nice acoustic effect. We enjoyed our outing to this place

Went to the Eastman Theater for my sons graduation from the University of Rochester. Beautiful place with great acoustics. Restaurants within walking distance. .

Went to the historic Eastman theater to listen to beethovens 1st concert by the RPO front seat tickets stage right. $22. Gorgeous landmark music hall. Dripping crystal chandeliers... elegant lobby and seating. Phenomenal music!

Love the open space! From a Chevy showroom to coffe hot spot. Fresh coffee and breakfast dishes. When I stopped in they were understaffed which took me about 15 mins just to place the order! They definitely need more staff especially on a Sunday midday! But I still loved the coffee and bagel.

Converted art deco Chevy dealership, great vibe. Coffee was very good. Lots of interior space.

This is a huge big space for everything cool about coffee shops and the stuff that goes with it: beans, treats, cakes, and plenty of room to sip, talk, and work. The actual space is a former Chevy dealership with a balcony and different kinds of relaxation nooks. The staff are friendly and it seems peopled with diverse locals. The iced coffee did the job, the kid had a big apple juice, and we split a rice-crispy bar. Be sure to stop by and chill when you’re in the neighborhood.

Spent a few hours here tonight while my son did some homework. Staff is average, not exactly friendly but they took our order and it was correct so I'm happy. The space is large with great available mixed seating. It was a bit loud and chilly!!! but I'll just bring an extra jacket next time. We really enjoyed our margarita pizza which they actually make fresh! My pumpkin mocha "shake" was also tasty as was his chai latte. The carrot cake was just 'eh' especially for over 5 bucks a slice. All in all this is definitely a spot we'll come back to!

I’m giving 5 stars because since I started coming to SPOT. Alana speaks and greets me and every customer by name if they came before. You don’t get that everywhere. She is respectful, she should be manager! She runs that store when she is on shift very smoothly. I come to spot for the service that Alana provides. I’m a loyal member now with two spot cups lol.

Spot coffee used to be awesome about 10 years ago... sadly this cafe has changed. Coffee is still good but they def have a limited choice of cakes and sweets. They used to have many choices available but now just a few remain. Staff working the counter used to be fun and friendly but not so much any more. Tables are not clean because they seem to have limited staff and bathroom were gross with over flowing garbage and urine on the floor. Also found out they no longer have live music :( what a shame! Disappointed with my experience!

First time here, and our experience was great! The food and drinks were delicious! Will definitely be back.

Great venue. Unique architecture. Comfortable seats. We were 1st row center seats. Excellent sound.

Small, intimate place to see some great shows! Only advice, don't pay extra for box seats. The seats aren't numbered, so it's first come, first serve, and the view from the side isn't great.

Yesterday was my first time at the theater. It's beauty was captivating. And it has that classic elegance with a modern twist as its elevators had TV, told the weather, and smoothly ride. I most certainly would considered the theater when taking a special one out.

The theater is just beautiful, had good seats & the acoustics were good. Saw Some Like it Hot & it was awesome! I wasn't aware there was a dedicated handicapped parking area, which we needed. That was extremely helpful & we were guided there from the staff at the rear of the bldg. They contacted the handicapped lot so a spot was saved for us. Very efficient.

Great place to see a show. It was easy to get to and not too far a walk from our parking, There were drinks/snacks and bathrooms on every floor. Staff were helpful and polite. We will definitely go back soon.

3 stars for the show itself. Hamilton was amazing. Would give 5 stars if it was solely based on the show. My husband and I had tickets for a Thursday night show that appeared sold out. Yay! Great for the organization. We were seated in Balcony J101 & J102. These tickets were expensive. The view from the seats were fine. My complaint is that the seats are so small and uncomfortable. It's worse than plane seating. I was seated in J102 and next to a larger man. He was constantly hitting my shoulders and legs. I kept scooting toward my husband and didn't have use of any arm rest. This gentleman should have purchased 2 seats. On top of that discomfort, the building is old and the seats are super uncomfortable. The reception area is well run and has lots of space. The beverage area is well run and efficient. Plenty of options.

Great space, 2400+ seat theater in the center of Rochester, NY. Ample pay to park lots ($10). Our seats were row J center orchestra and we had a ton of leg room with an amazing view of the stage.

Had a great time. The worker who checked out bracelets (we were on the party deck) was very kind, informative and funny. The party deck is eh and not enough tables or seats. And the we can sit in any empty seat sounds great unless the arena is packed like today. But the arena is nice and easy to get around

Easy to get to venue. Finding your seats is a snap. The staff is friendly which is a rarity for a busy venue. Please, buy the parking tickets sold by the venue. Trust me, you will be thankful. It makes it easy to park, right next to the venue, and to leave after a show. Plus, the parking lot is heavily patrolled by the RPD. Overall, visiting this venue was a nice experience and we look forward to come back.

Great place to watch AHL hockey 🏒 have been a season ticket holder last couple of seasons for Rochester Americans hockey 🥅 have attended several concerts and other events at this facility.. Attended tonight’s game between the Amerks 🇺🇸 and the WBS Penguins 🐧

Parking is good. The facility is clean. Every worker there was friendly. Food was surprisingly really good! Was there for a Rochester Americans hockey game. Fun!

Had trouble loading my tickets on my phone. They were really awesome they printed them for me so we could get in on time! Wonderful customer service!

Great medium sized arena... there really isn't a bad seat because you're never far from the event with it being a smaller arena... the facility is well maintained and the staff are great. Food is on par if not better than the buffalo arena/bills stadium and there is even some nice views from the concessions areas. Parking at the garage with attached tunnel into the arena is always nice in the bad weather The only major con is some seating is a bit more cramped But overall it's a great concert venue and sports events have always been a great value here compared to buffalo

The seats in this arena are terrible I'm short and they still kill my knees completely uncomfortable why wouldn't who ever is responsible make these seats so uncomfortable we usually end up leaving every event early because of this it would really be nice if you didn't have to pay a small fortune for comfortable seating

When we arrived and sat at the bar, there was a notable line at the service station at the bar. Even when that line died down with three bartenders, it took a while for us to be greeted. I guess maybe we were supposed to get in line and order at the service station, then sit down? Not sure and there wasn't anything indicating that like a sign or bit on the menu. The food was great and the beer was ok. I got the potatoes and buffalo tofu sandwich, both excellent. However, the issue was that my wife ordered a stromboli and it took about 40 minutes. So all my food came out and I was able to eat it before hers even came out. They told us since strombolis are made from scratch they take longer. Just prep the food so it comes out together.

Beer selection has always been solid here. Tonight’s barrel-aged old ale was a treat and the Brie & Apple Burger was amazing. My wife raved about her Stromboli. Great place for a brew and outstanding food.

After a few tastings, decided on the hefeweizen banana. It paired well with their calzone. I have to say it's the best I've ever had. It was a good sized portion and my husband and I split it. The local art for sale is also a nice touch. We will be back.

Totally impressive! A very nice brewery with awesome food. I absolutely loved the soup, Reuben sandwich and stout cupcake with FRESH raspberries. Everything was so well done AND environmentally responsible. 2 flights of a huge variety of beers left us very happy. New Favorite.

An amazing place. Beer selection is unique and delicious... All brewed on site. Food selection is limited but all excellent. The burger is one of the best in town. Staff is friendly. Such a great vibe here!

Friendly staff. Great selection of beers. Parking lot for customers. Like the decor. Got the chetzel board for $20 and it was so good. The pretzels ans garlic butter was divine. Like the decor being swiftwater they have kayaks on the walls.

Stopped by for dinner. Brought dog since we were heading home. Ordered and paid inside. No outdoor table service. We were the only people outside.Never once came out to check on us or the dog. They claim they have water bowls. Never saw one. Went back to the car to get my water. Might want to rethink the water thing when it's extremely hot outside for both patrons and their pets.

It’s not really a library anymore! It’s a youth drop in and a social services center. There are absolutely no study spaces as every space is reserved for C.A.S.H. program. All the other space is geared towards youth, which is fine but as an adult student who pays taxes, i’d like a space to use as well; especially one that isn’t filled with homeless men coughing or plastic bottles. Lots of renovations are happening to the exterior of the older building while the interior is meh (to say the least). Lastly, the building is cold and the dividers do nothing to spare you from the noise. This is just not welcoming to all people in the city.

My experience at the library before. For Central library at South Avenue, they helped me to apply for jobs that I wanted. Like the hospital for you are medicine. Other jobs that I wanted to Apply 1-4 job's. Because it's best to apply for jobs during the day to keep yourself occupied.And also they helped me with counting change like reading books. For math problike the easy math problems. Like the easy math problems. How I had dreams for my career goals for cashier? Like Quick, Phil. Or. Valerio. Also. Like fast food restaurants. FOr five guys.

Excellent service and a great addition to our community. Also the employee's are very helpful in the computer lab. Thank you.😃

This library is very authentic. I like it too because it's quieter than the average...no screaming children. It's a bittersweet trip down memory lane.

Central Library is a wonderful place: from the glorious Art Deco splendor of the Rundel Building to the dramatic modern Bausch & Lomb Public Library Building. Comprehensive collections abound; books music and videos old and new. Many programs, all kinds of things to do. Services for many. Don't miss this place!

I love this library, but there's absolutely no free parking anywhere nearby. I'm a resident of the city of Rochester. I shouldn't have to pay to use the library. I guess I could just walk all the way downtown in the snow?

Beautiful art deco building. The library occupies 2 buildings that are connected by a tunnel that is built into the abandoned subway of Rochester. You will admire the waterfalls coming out of the arches on the bottom of the old library building. Great pictures can be taken at night with the Google night sight.

Oneof the best churches i get the places of being apart of. Father ed is literally the best priest ive had in years. Speaks from the soul. I love this church alot, I look forward to going every Sunday. Thank u sacred heart

As a recent convert coming back to the Catholic faith, this parish has been nothing short of welcoming, loving, kind and genuine. It is a beautiful Cathedral with a great community, I feel at home.

Visited this Cathedral in Rochester NY over the weekend. It’s an absolutely beautiful Church with a great pipe organ and stained glass windows. Really nice to hear Sunday mass here and the priest gave a really great sermon too. 🙏🏽

Thank God Tradition is back at the Cathedral. It's time to add a statue of the sacred heart, and a statue of Our Lady wearing a veil instead of a headband. Fr. v Lieshout's homilies are spiritually helpful and the Liturgy of the Eucharist is traditional. Hopefully an altar rail will be installed as part of the upcoming renovations.

The place was beautiful even though its very modern. The mass was a bit droney and made me sleep.

Beautiful welcoming place. Very caring for the disabled. Gives good guidance on life.

Beautiful Church To Pray And Meditate With Jesus!

Frederick Douglass was born a slave and escaped, becoming a famous abolitionist of American history, and utilized his friendship with President Abraham Lincoln to end slavery.

This monument from 1899 is the first one ever dedicated to a black person in the United States.

Highland Park is the home of a great Rochester hero's monument. If you love Rochester Fredrick Douglas must be seen.

Lovely statue for an important man.

Beautiful, clean and calming.

Cool

My parents are buried side by side at Holy Sepulchre. My sister and I have added flowers and round, flat stones with personalized messages to the site in the past 4 years without incidence. The stones were tasteful and unobtrusive. One stone declared my father's remorse and devotion to Mom. Another was an actual passage from a reading at Mom's funeral. This summer all of the stones were removed without notice (I know they have our contact information based on the many mail requests for donations over the years). They were apparently deposited at the office in a location where people could 'shop' and were repurposed. Our belief was that once the cemetery received our payment for burial services and internment their future obligations only required that they cut the grass. Apparently, the money also entitled them to run a flea market with items from my parent's grave site.

They could do a better job at keeping the area looking nice. I went on July 4th and the Veteran area was a mess. I had to dust off many graves to read the names of the Veterans. Grass clippings were completely covering most of them. I would expect better, especially on a Holiday that is for them. Other areas had a similar issue. They need to edge the grass around the graves so that it's not growing almost completely over the grave. Afterwards, blow those areas off. This is common sense and it's sad I even have to mention it.

Generations of family are buried here. The grounds are generally well taken care but not this year. Grandparents,children's father and husband are buried in St Bernard Grove and it is not very well kept this year. Dewey Ave side is nicely done but not the Lake Avenue side. Disappointed to say the least. Don't know what's going on this year but this year I'll be weed whacking the plots myself. So much for perpetual care. Don't know if they are behind schedule or they have newly hired people in training but this is very sad

Beautiful cemetery, extremely good service, very excellent and expert employees that exceeds expectation. Angel Hills FC

I have three generations of family at your Cemetery. I'll say first it is a beautiful place. But I agree wholeheartedly with the other posts here about you ripping off our heart sent gifts to our loved ones at the graves we have purchased. Other cemeteries have postings that they clean off Graves every six months.. they post the dates that they do their cleanup. So family know that their gifts left at graves can only be there for a specific amount of time. And have due warning when those items will be removed if you don't do so yourself. That is fair to everyone involved. We can honor our loved ones.. And you get a clean slate Cemetery every few months. It's about the respect for our families buried there. You ripped off my mother's little expensive stone angel that my son left her and threw it in a trash heap. It was sitting on the ledge of her Stone for 5 years . Who was that harming ? It looked is though it was a part of the stone itself . Is that Catholic charity? Or dominance? Rethink your policies.

This cemetery is located between Lake Ave and Dewey Ave in Rochester ny. The employees keep this cemetery clean, safe and grass mowed . My parents/ grandparents are buried here and been coming here most of my life visiting them. Great job to all of the employees who keep this place clean and safe. Gerry

This is a beautifully kept and truly wonderful cemetery. Many family members of mine have been buried here. It is very large, with a variety of trees and wildlife, as well as access along the Genesee River gorge. This makes it ideal for many forms of wildlife watching as well. Enjoy!

Very iconic looking building. A landmark of Rochester.

Art deco lovers take heed....this place is absolutely stunning. The property manager Rich Calabrese is absolutely on point with dates and facts and his love for this gorgeous place is contagious!!

Beautiful art deco building. The lobby is in great shape and the concierge is super friendly and can tell you about the buildings history. We had a great time talking with him.

Feels like you're walking into a Jimmy Stewart movie...

Interesting looking building, no tours or much info tho.

This art deco skyscraper is one of the most iconic buildings in Rochester. Every depiction of Rochester's skyline contains the massive wings that sprawl atop the building. It is something that catches people's eyes form wherever they are. It would be cool to see the building have the lights on the wings change colors like the Metropolitan now does, but just for the top of this building. Have the wings change colors and have the rest of the top be able to also independently change in different sections, etc. I love the building and so far it seems to be taken care of quite well.

Probably nice back in the day.

We try to visit the local market whenever we are travelling and we were pleasantly surprised by the Rochester Public Market. We had our visit on a Saturday morning and it was quite busy. There is limited parking at the market and cars are parked on the streets and in parking lots surrounding it. The produce was abundant and delicious. 🫑🌶️🍒🍅🥬🍓 There were spices, honey, jewellery and a variety of prepared foods.

My friends and I attended Drag on the Bricks at the Public Market. I have also been to Bands on the Bricks. The venue has a lot of parking, but a large section is usually blocked off so people have to park across the street. The stage set-up was fine, but the VIP section was off to the side of the stage, which did not feel like VIP at all. The queens put on a great show, battling through the heat. Massage chairs were available in VIP, which one my friends used and was quite pleased. Food was limited, especially for people with food restrictions. However, what was available tasted good. We all had a great time and would probably go again.

Always a "must do" when we are in Rochester. Tons of produce at very reasonable prices. Also a good selection of food stands for breakfast sandwiches, empanadas, etc.

One of my favorite places to visit in Rochester. They have special events throughout the year including festivals and art shows.

One of my favorite places to go with my family! Great deals best boiled peanuts and ranch pickles! Always leave with so much good stuff. Truly one of my favorite activities

Always pleased. Have dealt with them maybe for 2 years and have never been disappointed. Sometimes I buy an entire box. Sometimes I don't order. Sometimes I get the extras. Highly recommend.

Love this place! They have a variety of options for produce, cheeses, snacks, flowers, and other items. There are also coffee shops and stores within the public market area. Prices are good and the people are very nice. This is also a great activity for a weekend to go with friends or family. I definitely recommend going as switch up from Wegmans.

This place was beautiful and sad at the same time. A lot of beautiful drawings (art) down there. It's the abandoned subway in rochester new York.

Went in at the entrance directly next to the street behind Nick Tahou Hots. Really interesting and easily accessible way to explore some historic abandoned architecture and see some neat graffiti.

Not for the feint hearted or easily scared (lile.me), that's for sure. I didn't get very far down the tunnel because my bike light wasn't powerful enough and the flash on in my camera failed anyway. But this is an awesome piece of history that looks like something out of the movie '28 Days Later' Next time I'll bring a flashlight and a willing human being to hold my hand.

Nice graffiti , small area to view the subway tunnel unless you climb down it did not see no trespassing sign 😉

The subway tracks were laid in the former Erie Canal when it was re-routed to bypass downtown Rochester. The service was ceased in 1956. The best pictures can be taken at night: if you have Pixel, use the night sight. Get to one of the arches and take a picture of the tunnel with all the graffiti to get an eerie and powerful image.

Went down near the corner of Industrial and Broad street. Was stopped by film crew not too far in and we had to leave. Note that they will most likely be filming from this section of the subway for a couple of months - find another entrance!

Honestly for searching up "things to do near me", I'm glad this showed up. My friends and I went and bought one flashlight just for this experience. It was really cool and we didn't go to far. All the graffiti is either good art or just harmless stuff people tag. If you go with others, make sure everyone has their own flashlight. It is really dark in there and my group didn't make it to the end. For sure check it out if you have the time but be wary of rocks and garbage on the ground. There is also sometimes water that drips from the ceiling. Overall one of a kind experience.

Be careful here if you are elderly. They allowed Dr. Ena Farley, an elderly Black woman, to be removed from her home against her will. This woman wasn't declared incompetent, so how was this allowed? Watch the video on Youtube. Did her sons sell, lease, or give away her house without her consent? Justice for Dr. Ena Farley!

Having seen crime happen every day. Prostitution, drugs, fights, traffic speeding, no stopping at signs or lights, many parking violations. The Parking Enforcement and Police are the worst I have every witnessed. Many time they just don't come or come so many hours, hours that crimes goes on. They both have stated that they are overwhelmed and can't do the job. Today I called in a violation at 7:26 and still no response at noon! How can any say they are capable of keeping the city safe when easy things are taken care of. They are a joke to the city, they can't even write a ticket for months at the same address with the same truck, yes for months. Every single time they claim to be overwhelmed. For MONTHS, no ticket. The chief, and his patrol stations are seen driving around but not doing traffic stops at all. I have seen this time and time again. On Lyell everyone sees the prostitution, we never see an arrest though, again not doing the job for the residents. This allows littering, drugs, fights. Really what do so many officers do? Certainly not the crimes we the people see everyday. Hire officers that can do traffic stops and arrest prostitution. Really do something!!

Had to go here twice once to purchase a vacant lot next to my property, the second to get a wired smoke alarm permit grandfather in for a second property. The people working there are extremely rude, unprofessional and arrogant. This is a very bad look for the city of Rochester and needed to be addressed.

This is a historical, influential local government office with State, Federal and International alliances. Though I am from Zambia, it was an honor to witness renewed ties between Rochester and Mali, Africa. Mayor Evans and the ambassador from Mali 🇲🇱 made assurances concerning this Intercontinental partnership. Could Zambia be next? I hope so. A friend and I played African drums as representatives from Building Families First, based here in Rochester.

Our constitution is very important and to see city halls in new york betray us is awful. Its a shame an honest new yorker cant trust their city courts or the police. The amendments were written for a reason and they NEED to be respected. I hope words spreads about how very little these people know and understand our constitution, they do everything they can to silence the truth

Got in, got it done, got out. Security was helpful in pointing me to where I needed to go.

My fiancé and I just went in to get our marriage license, and we were dreading going- we were expecting an unfriendly and difficult experience like going to the DMV or something. We were so pleasantly surprised! The building is clean, and the staff were exceptional. Even the guard at the front door was fantastic. The staff were all friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. Even the staff that weren’t helping us were kind!

First FLW house I have seen to date. Awesome! I had seen the PBS show on the renovation, but, seeing the finished project in person was THE BEST. Landmark Society arranges tours periodically. Thank you to them.

Great Frank Lloyd Wright house. Private residence so please be respectful when visiting. Ample street parking.

Who knew a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Rochester! Found it while looking for something to do while visiting friends and it was within a couple of miles of their home so we drove over. It's in a beautiful neighborhood with many other magnificent homes. On the FLW website it states that this home was restored over a 2 year period of time and is privately owned. The aspect is immediately recognizable and the windows are works of art and in every window we could see fronting East Blvd. We parked in front and got out to take a look and a quick walk. What an architectural gem in this neighborhood!

Really cool place to see in a very well off neighborhood. No public tours but the house is beautiful and worth a stop to view from the curb.

Stunningly beautiful inside and lovingly restored and maintained by the present owners. Few people realize Rochester has a Frank Lloyd Wright house so it's not mobbed. The most striking feature from outside is the cantilevered porch, which is amazing to see in a city full of porches. Steel beams are embedded in the house which are the only supports for the porch roof. It's remarkable to see perfect lines on a roof that has no visible support. If you are able to take a tour, I highly recommend it.

What a rare find! Was excited to find this piece of history while passing through Rochester for work. An incredible work or art that was truly ahead of its time. Unfortunately it’s not a home you can tour but a few photos from the street are still worth the visit.

Without a doubt my favorite house in Rochester. Definitely worth strolling through the neighborhood to see it and the other beautiful homes around it. The cantilevered roof is unbelievable. A real architectural gem.

Pastor is awesome. Listens, is positive, caring. Gives great sermons. Congregation is very welcoming.

Its amazing and fantastic and loved place

My grandson was baptized in and I became a member. It's nice to find a church to call home.

Beautiful historic place to meet up with God.

Actually went here for a church sale.very nice people.

Awesome community and dynamic pastor

Love their thrift shop!

Great place to walk and explore history. I have walked from Lock 32 to Holley and look forward to reaching Lockport over the summer.

Absolutely love walking along the peaceful and quiet Erie Canal. Such an important piece of history, especially in building the Rochester area

This trail along the canal is Great. Its flat terrain, hard packed, so narrow tire bicycles will be fine (not recommended; road race tires) Scenic with Upstate wild life in abundance. Seasonal cafe's along the trail would be nice...

Walk the dog here almost daily! Nice, well- kept paths. Lots of informative signs regarding the history of the canal. Plentiful wildlife as well!

Love the walking path always dry even after it rains. Beautiful green forest on the left and the canal on the right. Plenty of people always here to see on the sunny days

We found a great hike from Greece to Spencerport along the canal. I highly recommend

Really interesting and well preserved piece of history.

Great place to take the kids. Get an ice cream cone and take a ride they will remember all their life.

Great pier and restaurants, picnic tables and hungry birds to feed beautiful old carousel and swimming on the beach !

Beautiful!

There is nothing to say about it because it's cold and not open

Very inexpensive, but nice and clean

Worderfull

Beautiful

Wrong-O, there Lobby is not like that,up date picture👎👎👎👎

Epic adventures await

Joe in Media is wonderful. I appreciate his empathy.

Not bad

Excellent

This is a very beautiful building filled with very nice people. Catholics are great people.

It has amazing architecture in an area you'd never expect. The acoustics are great but unfortunately they AV in the space doesn't use it to its advantage. I would recommend anyone to check it out and appreciate this local rochester treasure.

Gorgeous, gorgeous church. I pray it never closes.

Wonderful gentle and caring faith community. I attend infrequently but always feel welcomed. Beautiful detail, soloist and organ music. Ample safe parking. You can sleep in and still make the 4pm Mass next Sunday!

My aunt and uncle were married here. My mom and I were on the balcony by the organ. Such a beautiful church.

St Michael is a beautiful church, I attend the 11:30 Spanish Sunday Service. The choir is awesome, you feel it in your bones. Father Bob Worth tries his best to speak in Spanish. Father Mickey knows the the language. I love Father Tracey. He is the monarchy of this church, He been around before I was even born. He helped my parents when they came from Puerto Rico, because they did not speak English language and they moved to Rochester, NY which was a long time ago. He helped them get settle in. He is a caring person. I wish him a speedy recovery. They have Spanish deacons and parishioners that volunteer their time and keep up with the Hispanic tradition . They hold events to help with the cost of the church needs. I enjoy seeing the younger generation engaging in their faith and their children are learning too. They also offer English Mass at 4 pm, they also have exceptional staff and volunteers that are dedicated. Sometimes, the Eastman Theatre musicians perform during the holidays. Come and visit this awesome church.

Beautiful church. Went to school at St Michael's from 1960-1966. It did me so much good to search this church and see it still there just as glorious as I remember. I can visualize myself in the pew.
