Want to experience a tour of where our relationship began? Look no further than the restaurants and bars of Park Ave. Grab some incredible pizza or pasta at Vern's. Attempt to get a drink at Magpie on a Saturday night (not advised if you're claustrophobic!). Shop for some adorable gifts at Parkleigh. Grab the best hungover breakfast at Jines. Order a green tea shot at Dragonfly and play a round of darts. Stop for a wine tasting at Apogee. Try an ice cream at Pittsford Dairy. Grab a beer at Half Pint and people watch on the sidewalk. Whatever you do on Park Ave, you won't be disappointed!

No other grocery store will compare after you visit Wegmans.

Never been to Rochester? You have to try a garbage plate. A grossly delicious combination of home fries, french fries, mac salad, or baked beans, and your choice of meat on top (or grilled cheese if you're vegetarian!). It's a Rochester delicacy, you can't leave without trying one!

Laura highly recommends Hungry's in Pittsford Village, while Andy recommends Dogtown on Monroe Ave.

Grab a bite to eat and try some local brews!

When it was formerly Seven Story Brewing, we not only had our first date here (we talked for so long they actually turned the lights off on us), but this is also where we got engaged! It's a great spot to have a drink right on the Erie Canal.

While it's 25 minutes outside of the city, getting a round in at Andy's favorite Rochester-area course is a great way to spend a few hours!

Fun spot with shops and restaurants, or even just to stroll along the water.
