Rockin' Rochester
Food scene
Grandma's Kitchen
1514 N Broadway AveThis staple diner is locally owned and a favorite of the Rochester natives.
There are two entrances, one is obvious and outside but sometimes closed due to construction. The other is from the inside of a small mall so if you can't find it call the restaurant to guide you, the food is WORTH.IT.

Very hip, modern decor with delicious food. Location is to the left of a Haley fireplace and lighting store. Strange, but true.

When I first came to Rochester, I had no idea what this sound was and I came to find out that on the first Wednesday of each month, you may hear a tornado siren drill.
