Sightseeing
Rochester is a stimulating, inventive, metropolitan community — the third-largest urban area in the state of New York. Rochester is a high-tech community which has preserved so many links with the past that it claims more sites on the National Register of Historic Places than any other city its size.
In 1998, Rochester was one of only ten communities nationwide to receive the All-America City Award, recognition of its status as a great place to live.
Greater Rochester is a terrific place to visit offering visitors plenty of experiences. Many of Rochester’s attractions are described on the Rochester visitors’ web site http://www.rochestermadeforliving.com/.
Rochester is in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, the heart of the state’s wine country. Niagara Falls is about an hour-and-a-half drive.
Oh … before we forget … one of the very best used record stores for jazz the country is in Rochester. You’ll want to pay our friends at The Bop Shop a visit.
