As a bike trail, we were rather disappointed.There are some interesting points along the way (nice view of the city, a short span through a waterfront residential area, a great view of their main bridge, the University of Rochester, and some nice park areas), but overall we found that path's difficulty (mainly due to uneven paving, cracks, ill-repair and nearness to highway at one point) to outweigh the touristic value. We got some fascinating views of the Canal, which I wouldn't have wanted to miss. But it is one of those trails we will probably never go on again. Perhaps it is better if you start it out of the city instead?

Monroe Avenue is the most important street in Rochester, particularly in terms of night life. If you think of Elmwood in Buffalo then you're thinking of the same thing. With a little Allen St and Chippewa thrown in. Monroe is a little bit tougher in terms of being a somewhat dangerous place at night, or an irksome place if you don't like getting hit up for money and what not. That kind of thing doesn't bother me but it never feels like the ritziest and most fancy street. Definitely Urban, a little run down, and definitely electric and alive. There are lots of good places to eat up and down this road, some of which have been here a while and some of which only opened recently. The Crepes 2 Go place with Chinese Crepes and Han Noodle Bar are among the better ones. Voula's Greek sweets and Dogtown are also very famous ones. Anyway, Marilyn is calling so that's all from me.

They have a great little play area for kids, too, so our weekly visit has turned into a several times a week visit to play and find new books and DVDs to borrow, and the librarians remember us. They're all super helpful and friendly. My little boy loves coming here. My only wish is that they would host a monthly (or weekly!! Daily?? ;)) sensory playtime like some libraries do occasionally. We love the community feel here though, and can't imagine not coming here now that we've started.

This library might look small, but don't let that fool you, it is a hidden gem full of great books,…read moregood people, and fun and exciting events! At first glance the library may seem typical, full of books, movies, video games and magazines, lining shelves. Like all libraries these days the card catalog has been upgraded to a computer look up system for ease for all. But what sets it apart is the kind and caring staff, that takes the time to get to know you, offer recommendations and host events. Whether you are a child or an adult, you will find something for you. Not much of a reader? Check out one of their technology classes, holiday parties for kids and families, and free art classes for kids, and also separate art classes for adults. Although the ground floor is small, it holds the adult section only, while the kids room comes alive down stairs. Displays are updated, and activities and fun abound. Stop on out to this neat little library and check out all the cool things it holds!

West of Rochester and on the shore of Lake Ontario, the Oak Orchard Light was constructed in 1871…read moreand deactivated in 1916. The current structure is a replica that was built by the local community group. It is easily accessible, a short detour of the Lake Ontario State Parkway that follows the shore. The original light was built at the end of a 1000 foot pier that extended into the lake. It was destroyed by a winter storm. This new structure is on land and there is plenty of parking for the marina and the small park. The park has a public restroom and some picnic tables. It's next to the Old Orchard Creek boat ramp. The lighthouse was closed when I stopped by at 6pm on a weekday but I understand that it does open for tours. [Review 1411 of 2024 - 415 in New York - 22434 overall]
