road trip to ROCH

[wah-zoh]

i will be taking the family up to the STRONG museum on saturday. Is there anything else cool to check out while we are in the area?
Looking for a good family style restaurant to get some eats, and of course fish stores that are near the museum.

You will be in one of the most artsy, eclectic neighborhoods in Rochester. Monroe/Park Ave area. From the Strong Museum, take a walk down Monroe. Gitsis is a great family restaurant (appearances aren't everything), it's a diner with some great food at great prices. Along the walk are all sorts of unique shops, Archimage is one of my favorites. There's a Starbucks up the street, also an Abbotts (frozen custard, you probably knew that) and I believe the local farmers market happens in the church parking lot just past that. Cut over to Park Ave and you will find more of the same, only a little more upscale. Park Leigh is a great shop with all sorts of unusual and one of a kind items. Other nice restaurants on Park Ave include Jines and Camilles. Again, great food, great prices. High Falls is another nice little visit while you are here, as is Highland Park.

For LFS, none are downtown. You will need to travel north to Irondequoit or East to Fairport or West to Spencerport. From downtown, it's about 20 mins to any of them. Shameless plug, but my artwork is at CF in Irondequoit and ABC in Fairport.

I'll pm you my cell. I'll be out and about all day, but if you need any assistance, give me a call. Love showing off my city.

I'll pray for decent weather for you all!

Have you ever been to the museum before? Do you know what time you plan on arriving there?

 

[wah-zoh]

it will be our 1st time there. we plan to arrive between 10-11am. as long as it is a smooth morning. sometimes getting the kids moving in the morning is a little hard.:hammer:

Saturday is my day off but I live pretty close... My girlfriend has not told me what my plans are for that day but I'll try to stop by before noon. Ask for Tad at the admissions desk and if I'm in I'll be happy to show you around the system.

 

[wah-zoh]

cool thanks

Hope you had a good time, sorry I missed you. I'm laid up at home sick as a dog, no way I could go in today.

 

[wah-zoh]

that is fine, we had a great time.
