I moved to Rochester, NY at the start of my first big career. Rochester is located at the south tip of Lake Ontario and is the third most populous city after NYC and Buffalo. Living in Rochester is pretty OK- there are many things to do to keep oneself occupied such as skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and camping, hiking, volleyball, tennis and various water sports when the weather turns warmer. In this entry, I'll focus on some of my friends and my favorite food, restaurants and places to eat. Although Rochester is not as popular as other bigger cities in the US, I'm pretty surprised to find a variety of cuisines available for a foodie. (However, there's no Malaysian or Indonesian restaurant here!) If you have anything to share, don't hesitate to leave a note!
