------
Yummy Garden (Chinese Take-Out)
(1 mile away from the show)
345 Meigs St.
Rochester, NY
585-288-2888
Gota say, this is one of my Fav Chinese Take Out places so far. The food
is always Fresh and filled with flavor. Consistently been satisfied - where others have
been variable in quality and taste.
I recommend the Hunan Chicken, Szechuan Beef, Beef w. Bamboo Shoots & Black Mushrooms, Beef w. Scallion, Hot & Spicy Beef (sweet taste to it), Beef w. Broccoli, and much more.
-------
Applebees (Good flavor steaks: House Sirlion, Bourbon Street Steak ((taste like Italian Sausage)), grab a Bananaberry Freeze for a drink, and a Maple Blondie Brownie
for Desert (its hot & topped with Ice cream, and maple sauce on the side

)
1683 E Ridge Rd, Rochester, NY (3 miles away.. and 1min away from Kings Highway

)
-------
Scotch and Sirlion (Upscale / pricey. Get the Fillet Minion (Med) if its available )
3450 Winton Place, #25, Rochester, NY 14623
Comedy Cafe - Is also in the same plaza. Entertainment price was cheap if I
recalled... but, the food and drinks are pricey as I recall. Food was good. Drinks
didnt seem to have enough kick to them - for my taste.
------
Roadhouse Grill (Yummy Steaks & Prime Rib. Limited menu. Decent prices)
830 Jefferson Rd
Rochester, NY 14623
Phone: (585) 427-2250
-------
Some would tell you to try a "Garbage Plate" at Nick Tahou's. Its quite
famous. I personally dont like food like that.
-------
Malls:
The "Medley Center" is basically dead with exception for Mythic Treasures... with is actually a pretty cool new-age gift shop. (dragons, faeries, occult things, incense, and more @ low prices)
However, if you wana hit the big malls... go to either Greece Ridge Mall, Marketplace Mall, or much further out Eastview Mall (more upscale).
------
Ice Cream World (They bought a Carvel shop. They make the BEST soft-serve IMOP.)
703 Ridge Rd E
Rochester, NY 14621
-------
House Of Guitars
A famous Music Instrument shop. Place is huge, and interesting.
645 Titus Ave
--------
Irondequoit Bay Park (Beach, Lake, Long walk Pier)
Take Culver Rd. all the way to the end towards Lake Ontario. You will see an Amusement park near the end called "Sea Breeze". (sadly not open till next month) A little further down, there is a hill. At the bottom of the hill, are a few restaurants, then a huge parking area. Park there, and go to the end of the lot and make a left. There is a walkway along the beach, and goes out to a huge pier walkway overlooking lake Ontario.
(Google address: Culver Rd @43.234646, -77.535185)
-------
And you MUST take a drive on "Kings Highway". Its a long twisty, curvy, hilly road. Its awesome fun to drive!

Just take care, as the turns are a bit sharp.
(pop into google address bar: S Kings Hwy @43.199201, -77.577006 or, look at
corner of East Ridge rd & North Goodman St. At the end of King Highway is a little parking area, where one can see the water. Theres a little footpath trail that leads to a small beach at the bottom of the hill)
------
Places some may find interesting:
George Eastman House
Susan B. Anthony House
Memorial Art Gallery
Rochester Museum and Science Center
Strong Museum (lots of great children exhibits/events, so Ive heard)
------
The only big arcade left:
Adventure Landing
3340 Ridge Rd W, Rochester, NY 14626
Decent Mini Golf courses. However, Im not too into the arcade machines there.
However, there is a big play area for kids. A bunch of cannons that shoot balls
at each other.
Theres at least one Chuck E Cheese's around here too. However, again, the
games are modern junk Imop. Theres a huge play area though, which I envy that
wasnt there in my youth! heh
