Maya & Marcus

February 29, 2020 • Rochester, NY

Rochester Public Market, Rochester, NY, USA

280 Union St N, Rochester, NY 14609, USA

Check out our local farmer's market Saturday morning for fresh doughnuts, hot coffee and a variety of local food, produce and crafts.

George Eastman Museum

900 East Ave, Rochester, NY 14607, USA

Explore the history of film at this local mansion. Maya especially likes the period piece rooms and dreams of having her own mansion someday. Marcus would like a smaller house and lots of bikes. They will find a compromise. Hop on Zillow and be shocked at how affordable Rochester real estate is. There are many reasons the newlyweds want to stick around.

The Strong Museum

One Manhattan Square Dr, Rochester, NY 14607, USA

Escape the cold in the butterfly garden and see the toy hall of fame. Great place for kids (and kids at heart) to play and pretend.

Genesee Brew House

25 Cataract St, Rochester, NY 14605, USA

Enjoy one of the local breweries in Rochester with an incredible view of High Falls and the city skyline. The gift shop is a great place to pick up Rochester souvenirs. You may see some of the beer at the reception later on.

Fifth Frame Brewing Co.

155 St Paul St, Rochester, NY 14604, USA

Great beer, coffee and brand new and delicious menu thanks to the new head chef, who is a close friend of the bride and groom.

Nick Tahou Hots

320 W Main St, Rochester, NY 14608, USA

Rochester is home of the "Garbage Plate" and Nick Tahou's is the original. Other restaurants have their own unique take on "the plate" including: Dog Town, Red Fern (vegetarian/vegan), Kocina (sushi plate). This is something most Rochesterians are very proud of, Maya is not one of them. But, Marcus recommends for the full Rochester experience.

Park Avenue, Rochester, NY, USA

This street is home to some of Rochester's most loved small businesses, coffee shops, and restaurants. Take a stroll and explore. A few recommendations are:

Glen Edith Coffee

Stever's Chocolates (homemade candy)

Roam Cafe (a date night favorite)

Magnolia's (Obama ate here when he was in town)

Park Leigh (for unique gifts and knickknacks)

Cobbs Hill Park, Rochester, NY, USA

Walk up to the reservoir to see a great view of Rochester.

Mt Hope Cemetery

1133 Mt Hope Ave, Rochester, NY 14620, USA

Cemeteries don't have to be creepy and morbid. This is where Maya and her sisters grew up taking walks and playing with their family. Frederick Douglass and Susan B Anthony both have gravestones on the premises and across the street is Highland Park, which is great to walk around and visit the sunken gardens.
