Rochester Visit
Published September 29th, 2006 in Holiday, Food, RochesterI’m back in Rochester, NY for an extended visit. Initially the plan was to come back for a 4 day weekend to attend, what is becoming an annual event, the West’s Buffalo Bills Game outing.
When I was booking the flight a few weeks back it dawned on me now that I’m an independent contractor I can pretty much take time off when I want to. So I decided to extend the stay for the whole week.
What I find strange is the lack of free wifi cafes in Rochester. With great schools like RIT1 and UofR you would think there would be a huge demand for coffee shops on every corner. I found one, the Spin Caffe, now it’s not nearly as nice as the Axis or Canvas Cafe in SF, but it has caffeinated drinks and outlets. So it works!
I’m planning on writing some reviews of a bunch of places on Yelp Yelp this week, for example Schaller’s Drive-in, Nick Tahoe’s, Chester Cab Pizza, etc. The info on Rochester is seriously lacking, and this place has a lot to offer.

Dude - good luck with your time off. Even though WiFi is lacking, but at least you do not have to drive to South Bay to visit mailfrontier…
Go Bills! Maybe you should swing down to the NYC for a few days… You’re welcome to crash with us! Wifi abounds in the city!
Gillian — I wish I had thought about that when I was setting up this trip. I’ll have to make a separate trip to NYC soon. It’s been way too long since I’ve been to the city.
