Coldrush isn't only arts and culture, winter sports and nightly entertainment. It's also a time to explore the many diverse dining establishments in the area. What's your fare? From dining at the historic home of Rochester's first mayor to a kid-friendly restaurant in an old coal tower on the Erie Canal, Rochester's 1,000 plus restaurants offer a variety of menus to suit every taste and pocketbook. Whether you prefer the comfort of national restaurant chains or the charm and discovery of the many locally owned dining facilities, you're sure to find a warm and tasty repast around the corner.

Although hot dogs are usually thought of more as a summer treat, don't visit Rochester without sampling an original "white hot," found in many Rochester area establishments. Transplanted Rochesterians have them air-shipped throughout the year! For the little ones, a visit to Stever's Candies on Park Avenue or Encore Chocolates on Titus Avenue will yield some super cool treats!
