feed your brain INTRODUCTION | BY ERIC REZSNYAK
All you students better hope that the much-ballyhooed zombie apocalypse doesn’t start while you’re in college. It is a well-known fact — science, really — that the undead love themselves some brains. So the shambling hordes will likely be making a beeline right for the Rochester area’s many college campuses. They’re like all-you-can-eat buffets for gray matter. Finally, a downside to being smart. But we kid. You have more pressing issues than the fictitious walking dead. You’re in college now, and that means having to figure out how to juggle your course work, a social life, and the ins and outs of your newly emancipated existence. City Newspaper is here to help. Our annual Student Survival Guide is packed with information about how to make the most of your college career in Rochester, with articles focused on on- and offcampus topics. In this edition, learn about Rochester schools’ growing international-
student population, get some ideas on how to make cash at part-time gigs, and update your smart-phone calendar with our upcoming events guide. Once you’re ready to get off campus, check out our guide to some cool local movie theaters, get our music editor’s suggestions for clubs open to the under-21 set, and set out on a scavenger hunt that will take you to 25 must-visit places in the ROC. Need more schoolin’? City Newspaper is new every Wednesday, with news, opinion pieces, and reviews and previews of all the most happening events in town. Check out page 39 for a list of where to find the FREE paper on your campus. And check out rochestercitynewspaper.com for even more content, including past Student Survival Guide articles. Their editions may have expired, but those stories, like zombies, live on online. But instead of eating brains, they’ll fortify yours.

global studies International students flock to Rochester's colleges and universities
y the time you graduated from high school, you’d probably been sitting next to the same classmates since freshman year, middle school, or even elementary school. By now, you’re ready to get out of that bubble and meet new people. That is one of the most exciting things about college. You get to meet people who have had totally different life experiences than you. Prepare to be exposed to more new foods, music, and books than you know what to do with. Rochester-area colleges are ideally suited for expanding the types of people you’ll meet in college, because they attract a farther-reaching group of academics than you might think. Students from hundreds of different countries come to study in Rochester each year. Out of every top university in the country, the University of Rochester ranks 18th in the number of international students in attendance, according to a recent U.S. News report. Of the school’s more than 10,000 students, more than 2,000 of them are international undergraduate and graduate students from 113 countries. At the Rochester Institute of Technology, international students come from 101 countries and make up 8 percent of the student body. Nazareth College is home to more than 200 international students, and nearly as many attend SUNY Geneseo. So how do teenagers from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East end up in Rochester, of all places? Many colleges use recruiters. Schools like the University of Rochester employ a staff 6 CITY • STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 2013
of people who travel to different countries and spread the word about their merits. They visit college fairs and boarding schools abroad, and speak with students about different academic programs. Meanwhile, many of the University of Rochester’s programs speak for themselves. The Eastman School of Music, for example, has no need to employ recruiters given its impressive reputation. International students make up a full 25 percent of students at ESM. Rochester colleges have many worldrenowned programs that are sought out by students in other countries. arshita Sood is from Kolkata, India, and
is a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She chose to study there because of specific programs offered by the school. “I found out about RIT when I started applying for colleges that offered a degree in environmental science,” says Sood. “I did extensive research, and I chose RIT because of the great program, research opportunities, diverse student population, and the fact that it’s a closed campus not too far from the city.” Nazareth College doesn’t employ recruiters, says Dr. George Eisen, executive director of Nazareth’s Center for International Education. “We have a vibrant American language program that attracts a lot of international students,” says Eisen. “We also have many joint-degree programs with colleges in China and Europe.”
In places like Finland and Hungary, Nazareth College is one of the only American institutions to offer joint-degree programs. Some of these programs are like long-term study-abroad programs, where international students can spend up to a year at Nazareth while pursuing their degrees back home. Others are sponsored by governments in other countries, and allow international students to spend all four years in the United States. For other global students, location is important. That was the case with Devin Embil, who came from Turkey to study at the University of Rochester. “I wanted to apply to schools along the U.S. East Coast, it being an area that I’m more familiar with,” Embil says. “The University of Rochester was one of the first schools I visited, and the visit really made it one of my preferred choices. I loved the open curriculum, allowing me to study what I love, or give me the freedom to find my passion, which I did by switching majors and concentrating in film and business.” nce international students choose to study in Rochester, they begin the long and stressful process of moving and adjusting to life in the United States. It’s not always easy. Getting the hang of things your freshman year can be hard enough for the average student. Now imagine that you have no idea who the Kardashians are, what your fellow students do for fun, and you may not even speak the continues on page 8

primary language of your new surroundings. All of the scariness of college is compounded by cultural and language differences. “I did have a bit of a culture shock when I first came to college,” says Turkish student Embil. “It was less of a culture shock, but more of a, ‘I didn’t grow up with that TV show or music or joke.’ Or the realization that Walmart, which I quite dislike, has everything from toothpaste to industrial lawnmowers for sale.” The number of international students at local colleges has grown in recent years, according to Cary Jensen, the director of the International Services Office at the University of Rochester. “There has been a dramatic growth in the number of [international] students as well as the fields they are studying in,” Jensen says. UR will see its largest number of incoming international students this fall. Schools are responding with new and better ways to help international students succeed. These resources can be anything from in-depth orientations to blogs and pop-culture classes. After working with international-student programs for more than 15 years, Jensen is keenly aware of the challenges these students face. “The No. 1 challenge is making friends and meaningful connections here,” Jensen says. “It’s a recurring challenge. We have a natural tendency to cluster with our own, and there are barriers to break through.” To help students connect with one another, UR offers culture classes and mentor programs for international students. New students are paired with older international students who can relate to these challenges and help them along the way. Nazareth College also has a mentoring program, but it works differently. The program matches incoming international students with American students. There is also a requirement that international students live with American students during their first year. In order to make move-in day easier, SUNY Geneseo has a program where upperclassmen meet international students at the airport and take them to campus. The International Student Services section of 8 CITY • STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 2013
The University of Rochester is home to more than 2,000 international students from more than 100 countries. FILE PHOTO
SUNY Brockport’s website has blogs where current international students write about their experiences (you can check them out at brockport.edu/international/experiences). Local colleges are also home to many student groups created to support students from other countries. Sood is the president of RIT’s Global Union student group. “We provide a bridge between international students and various departments on campus, such as housing operations and dining services,” Sood says. “We put up several events and activities throughout the year, starting with an airport pick-up service for new international students. We do a welcome event during orientation and an annual Halloween party to introduce international students to American culture.” All of these resources aim to help international students adjust to life in this country and connect with American students. ther challenges for international students are less apparent. For example,
UR’S Cary Jensen points out that one of the most difficult adjustments has to do with transportation in Rochester. “We are definitely a car culture here in the U.S.,” he says. “So many students are coming from huge cities where public transportation is the only way to get around. There is just no way to get around here without a car.”
Students from other countries have a hard time obtaining drivers’ licenses. If they do get one, it may mean giving up a license in their home country. Rochester’s public transportation can also be both limited and confusing. “When you’re new in a place and can’t even get to the store, it’s an issue,” Jensen says. To help with this problem, many colleges have their own bus and shuttle systems. SUNY Brockport, UR, SUNY Geneseo, and RIT all have buses that take students to places around campus and the city. Bus routes and information can be found on each college’s website, in the parking and transportation section. UR and RIT’s shuttle bus systems even have downloadable apps that you can use to track routes. If your college does not offer this service, information about Rochester’s public bus system can be found at rgrta.com. International students also deal with problems that everyone in Rochester faces, such as the weather. For a lot of students, their first winter in Rochester can be a shock. The Brockport and Geneseo websites have detailed descriptions of Rochester’s climate, especially the winter temperatures. They provide lists of what to pack for the winter, as well as advice from older international students. Sood says that Rochester’s winter was one of the most difficult things to get used to when she came to school here. In her home city of Kolkata, the annual mean temperature is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. For her, Rochester’s freezing winter climate was quite a change. But hey, dealing with the snow and rain can be one more thing all Rochester college students have in common. No matter where you’re from, it’s easier to relate to someone when you’re both trudging to class in the snow. And nothing brings people together like complaining about the weather. For more information on resources for international students, check out the website of each local college.

screen gems A guide to Rochester's unique movie theaters
Many of you are eager to spend freshman year partying, exploring Rochester, getting involved in campus activities, and partying some more. Studying will presumably fit in there somewhere. But the cool kids all know the best way to spend your free time. That’s right: shunning the outside world and taking refuge in movie theaters. Friends come and go, but films are always there for you. They’re also one of the few social events that will work for everyone you’ll meet. Whether you’re a future filmmaker or just a regular film fanatic, you’re in the right place. Rochester is secretly one of America’s greatest cities for film lovers — probably due, in part, to how the guy who invented film was one of our greatest locals. George Eastman’s company, Kodak, may be struggling now, but Rochester’s film community flickers as brightly as ever. If appreciating the art of film is your ideal extracurricular, here are your havens. Note that these are some of the more unique film houses in Rochester; the area is also home to a slew of big-screen cineplexes. Find out more about them in the sidebar accompanying this article. For a list of Rochester’s many film festivals, check the events article on page 32.

Still waiting for those enticing under-theradar releases that are only playing in “select cities”? Remember that French film you heard 10 CITY • STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 2013

about from the Cannes Film Festival, or that documentary about your hot-button issue of choice? For your fix of foreign films, indies, and documentaries, there’s a good chance that The Little is the place to be. This appropriately quaint theater in Rochester’s East End, which dates back to the late 1920’s (with a classic marquee to prove it), is the area’s de facto home to most non-Hollywood fare. When locals want to catch sleeper hits like “Amour,” “On the Road,” “Frances Ha,” or each year’s Oscar-nominated short films, they know to head here. The Little also organizes the monthly One Take documentary series, and a wide array of other special screenings and events, making it Rochester’s most active hub for independent film. It’s a little more than a movie theater, too. The Little has its own café, with fine meals
and fancy coffee drinks, as well as a steady schedule of free live music. A great place to bring a date, assuming your date is up for something like “Fruitvale Station.”
3349 MONROE AVE. | 383-1310 | PITTSFORD.ZURICHCINEMAS.COM
This underappreciated gem doesn’t have the same holy-land reputation as The Little. But it’s almost as singular: a nine-screen theater, tucked in a suburban shopping plaza, screening a variety of new releases unmatched by any local multiplex.

blockbuster — stuff like “Man of Steel,” “World War Z,” or the latest Pixar flick — but there are always a few independent and foreign films in the mix, making this almost like a second Little. Thanks to Pittsford Cinema, you can skip the mega-multiplexes for most of your college years — and you’ll be thankful, since this theater charges less than $10 for all non3D tickets, and sells snacks at prices that won’t require you to take out more student loans. Also, since the theater shares a plaza with Rochester’s grandest Wegmans and a Barnes & Noble, plus plenty of other shops and restaurants, you can plan your whole day around a movie.

Once homework and exams and lab reports and other on-campus obligations pile up, you might find that you rarely have the chance to catch your most anticipated titles while they’re still hot. But don’t start looking for a way to pirate the flicks that you’re missing (seriously, don’t — you will get caught, and you will pay dearly). Rochester’s second-run theaters have you covered whenever you have free time again. Movies 10 (across the street from the 24hour Jay’s Diner, one of Rochester’s greatest college hangouts) revives most major releases in their limbo between the big screen and Netflix, and at the divine price of $2 a ticket. Think about it: when you’re sustaining yourself on Ramen noodles, do you really want to pay full price for the second “Hunger Games” or the third “Riddick” or the fifth “Paranormal Activity” anyway?

or another for almost 100 years — always screens two films that are several weeks past opening weekend. Every day, you can see both of the Cinema’s offerings as a dirt-cheap double feature, and with most snacks priced less than $5, this may be Rochester’s best theater for viewers on a budget.
The Dryden Theatre 900 EAST AVE. | 271-4090 | DRYDEN.EASTMANHOUSE.ORG | @DRYDENTHEATRE
This is it: Rochester’s most important film institution, and also one of America’s most important. The Dryden is inside the George Eastman House — a photography museum that is, itself, a local essential — but it’s here that you can truly appreciate George Eastman’s legacy, and see film history come to life. With tens of thousands of films at its disposal, The Dryden has one of the world’s most extensive film archives, and it makes wise use of it. The theater screens six different films a week, every week, all year, usually in their original format.
(If you’re the kind of person who knows that a 35 mm print is better than any Blu-Ray, The Dryden gets you.) It’s not an exaggeration to say that The Dryden — a palatial theater that was renovated this year with a new look and a digital projector — shows everything. Just looking at the August schedule gives you an idea of how all-encompassing The Dryden is: “Upstream Color” and “Like Someone in Love” made their local premieres, John Waters’ “Hairspray” played the same week as Fellini’s “8 ½,” and the latter film was followed by the Ed Wood disaster “Glen or Glenda.” Filmmakers Alexander Payne and James Ivory visited for Q&A’s this year, and past guests include Meryl Streep, Roger Ebert, and Paul Thomas Anderson, among many, many others. We’re lucky to have a landmark that makes everyone — from college freshmen to long-time residents to film legends — an adoring student of film.

College film series
Still can’t make it to the screen that’s calling your name? Fret not, film buffs: most area colleges have their own on-campus theaters, or at least a student organization that holds screenings throughout the year. Some schools have exclusive film rituals — like the University of Rochester’s annual spring porno, put on by the school’s Cinema Group — while others host events that are open to the Rochester community. For instance, the Rochester Institute of Technology presented the Banff Mountain Film Festival this year. Keep your eyes open for films events on your campus and others. And don’t forget that your school’s library — you know, where everything is free — probably has a DVD collection that can show you more than all of these theaters and an Instant Queue combined.

you betta work Cut down on your debt load by picking up a part-time job
College: it’s an eye-opening experience during which students can gain a wealth of knowledge. Savor it, because it’s about the only thing that will increase in wealth during your time in academia. As much brain power as students will acquire throughout their years at college, it’s unfortunately also a time in which money is quickly lost. With housing, meal plans, furniture, school supplies, textbooks, and possibly studying abroad — not to mention spending money for fun activities like concerts, eating out, festivals, and more — costs add up. Although there are plenty of opportunities to spend money in college, students can defray some of that by making some cash along the way. There are many attainable parttime jobs — both on- and off-campus — that are catered specifically to students. No matter which area college you attend,
on-campus jobs abound for students. These can include positions like campus tour guides, library attendants, dining hall workers, tutors, note-takers, post office assistants, admissions workers, athletic center employees, residential advisors, technical support, research and lab assistants, or department-specific internships. Many on-campus jobs are made available to students through the Federal Work Study program. Full-time or part-time students with financial need may apply for work-study in order to earn money to help off-set the cost of 14 CITY • STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 2013

education. To apply for work-study, students can fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which will determine the level aid they will receive. To fill out a FAFSA, visit fafsa.ed.gov. After you’ve received your report, consult the student-employment office on your campus to see what positions are available. But official channels aren’t the only way to go if you need to make some cash. If you haven’t realized it by now, Rochester is truly a hub of the performing arts. While this means students have the opportunity to view a great deal of performances from all genres — music, theater, dance, etc. — it’s also quite feasible for student performers to earn money for their work. During performance competitions, singers are often desperate for accompanists. That’s when savvy student pianists will step up and
negotiate a tidy fee. Local churches will often pay students to cantor, play accompaniment, or direct choirs, and the time commitment is fairly minimal. Performing at local events — whether they are weddings, funerals, or concerts — is also good exposure, practice, and yet another way to make some cash. Students at the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music have the advantage of the ESM Gig Service, a database that displays local performance opportunities. To register for the service, or post a gig, visit esm. rochester.edu/gig. If you’re an artist who does not practice the art of an audible tune, there are still ways to earn money with your passion. A man who boasts his lover to be as fair as a summer’s day clearly possesses a talent for other realms. Local continues on page 16

professional and semi-professional theaters such as Geva, Blackfriars, JCC CenterStage, and Downstairs Cabaret Theatre all pay talented thespians to perform in their quality productions. Artists who prefer to be seen rather than heard may also aim to get their work displayed in local galleries or coffee shops for viewing and sale. The various craft festivals that Rochester hosts also provide a venue for sales and exposure. From holiday crafts fests, to the Memorial Art Gallery’s Clothesline Festival, to the various indie craft fairs, there is no lack of opportunity to sell your work. Check the City Newspaper calendar Call for Work section to see what shows are accepting submissions. Whether you’re uninterested in working
on campus, are not artistically inclined, or simply need a break from the college environment, a part-time job off-campus might be a good option. Keep in mind that working off-campus prevents its own challenges. Traveling to and from your job may be more trouble than it’s worth, and employers may not be quite as understanding if you want to get some calculus cranked out during slow hours. Potential cons aside, off-campus jobs can be pretty handy for getting discounts. 16 CITY • STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 2013

If you’re going to pursue a job off-campus, try to work somewhere you’d likely spend money anyways, so as to cut living costs. Working in a favorite clothing store, coffee shop, electronics store, or restaurant is bound to get you perks, and you’re likely to be more invested in doing a good job. College is a busy time, and many students may feel that sustaining a job is impossible. That’s OK! Your first job, after all, is to study hard, and be a good student. Even if you don’t think working during school is right for you, a couple easy bucks can still be made for thrifty thinkers. At the end of each semester, go through closets at home and at school to weed out items you no longer wear — that old t-shirt, the jeans that didn’t fit quite right, or that sweater that severely clashed with your hair. Newer or less-worn clothes can be sold to consignment stores; Goodwill will happily accept the rest. Come move-out time in May, if you have relatively reliable appliances or furniture that can’t be easily moved or that you have no use for, try selling it to someone you know. People will already be in the market for furnishings for next year, and would probably rather buy it at half price from a friend. Aside from the independently wealthy, all of us are likely to rack up debt during college. It’s bound to happen. If you’re smart about it, though, there are ways to lessen the load a bit. Give one of the above suggestions a shot, and you may alleviate some impending student-loan pain. Your parents (and your future self) will thank you.

fun before 21 Eight party locations for the 18-and-under crowd Ah, freshman year. A new campus, a new city, and new people. Only one problem: if you are lucky enough to befriend upperclassmen, you’ll soon realize that they may leave for certain mystical locations that a practice known as “getting carded” prohibits you from entering. But fear not. There’s no need to risk your future by seeking out a fake ID, or hope that your older sibling has an old license to loan to you. Rochester still has a nightlife scene that the under-21 crowd can enjoy — even if it does mean you won’t be able to take part in the drinking. You’ll be able to do that legally soon enough. Until then, here are some places to check out that will let you into the party. And your over-21 friends will always appreciate having a sober DD around. This isn’t a comprehensive list; just a starting point. Many clubs and venues will host special 18+ events — especially around the college schedule — just not as frequently as the venues we’ve listed below. And note that selected locations aren’t always 18+ either, so make sure to check ahead of time. If we missed any under-age hangouts that you love to hit, be sure to comment online on the article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.
Tilt Nightclub and Ultralounge 444 CENTRAL AVE. | 585-232-8440 | FACEBOOK.COM/TILTNIGHTCLUB
Hot body contests. Cage dancing. Drag shows. A festive and LGBTQ-friendly atmosphere. That’s Tilt for you, making it 18 CITY • STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE 2013

a unique and important part of Rochester’s nightlife scene. The even better part for you young’uns is that Tilt extends to the 18+ crowd, and local drag queen DeeDee Dubois hosts a Wild College Party series throughout the school year. For what it’s worth, my personal all-time favorite senior night while I attended the UR took place at Tilt. Note that the DJs play the music LOUD, so you just might want to bring some earplugs.
One Nightclub and Ultra Lounge 1 RYAN ALLEY | 585-546-1010 | ONECLUBLIFE.COM
Upper and lower floors and three bars on the upper level (including a seasonal deck) make One one of the roomier clubs in town, giving you all the more room to dance.
One offers weekly 18-and-over nights on Thursdays, so while you won’t be able to experience the full weekend club scene yet, think of it as an intro course, like Rochester Nightlife 101. One is also on the more upscale side of the East End Nightlife circuit, so don’t be afraid to pull out those shiny shoes. That said, recent events at One have included a Jell-o wrestling party and a summer pool party. Nobody said that growing up couldn’t be a little fun.

Why let your over-21 friends have all the fun? You could head to some places that give them a bar, while giving you some good noms. RIT students will find Lovin’ Cup more accessible than other schools, but this gem at Park Point in Henrietta provides a quirky and beautifully decorated bar, plus a café and restaurant, that also hosts concerts as well. The music and events will get you in the door, but the atmosphere and menu (with food names that call back to the location’s musical roots, such as the Rage Against the Green Mexican salad, I’m Hot for Teacher panini, Deep Purple eggplant parmesan, and my personal favorite, Blue Suede Shoes, a chicken-wing flatbread pizza) will keep you and your of-age drinking friends coming back to a place you both can enjoy.
The Bug Jar 219 MONROE AVE. | 585-454-2966 | BUGJAR.COM
While many of the places on the list have certain nights they are open, The Bug Jar offers something the rest do not: seven days a week live entertainment. Split between a bar and a small concert area, The Bug Jar also hosts local art exhibits, and is a great crossroads of Rochester’s local and underground music and arts scenes. The Bug Jar does have age restrictions for certain events and shows, so check ahead. But it’s a good way to have a mixed-age group of friends spend a night out, grab some beverages, and take in a good show while you’re at it.
The Old Toad 277 ALEXANDER ST. | 585-232-2626 | THEOLDTOAD.COM
Depending who you believe, America may or may not have been founded by the prudes who left the drinking and open-mindedness of Europe for a calmer land. Luckily, in Rochester you don’t have to travel all the way back to the Empire to experience an authentic British pub. You can go to the Old Toad instead.

And while you under-21s may not be able to sample all the different globally sourced beers the Toad has on tap, you can join in on other activities, such as the recurring trivia nights (now on both Sundays and Mondays). It’s a much more casual and laid back atmosphere, and the family-friendly dinner spot is great for late-night snacking. After 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays the place does turn 21+, but at least you can get a taste the rest of the week.
Pearl Nightclub 349 EAST AVE. | 757-752-8370
Not to be confused with a certain scallywag’s beloved pirate ship, Rochester’s Pearl Nightclub is another club that only opens its shell to the under-21 crowd one night a week. But, Thursday nights can be just as fun as the rest of the weekend, and let’s be honest, Friday classes aren’t that important. Recent visiting DJs at Pearl have included Alex English, Baauer & RL Grime, DJ Neill MacLeod, and Bonobo. Oh, and there are lasers. Can’t forget the lasers. Pearl is also a little bit on the fancier end of Rochester’s club scene, so those sweatpants you haven’t washed all week probably won’t cut it.

With not just one, but four, locations across Rochester, Boulder provides that Swiss Army knife solution for a night out. Want to catch a band or play in an open mic? Check. Want to grab a drink (alcoholic, or not)? Check. Want to relax and get some work done while enjoying creative and interesting Rochester? Check mate. It’s not so much a club as the other spots on this list, but a cool and relaxed coffee spot, with live music or performances at several of the venues. Whatever you are looking to do, Boulder, open seven nights a week, can scratch that wanderlust itch.

FEATURE | BY ERIC REZSNYAK
seeking rochester Get to know your new city through this off-campus scavenger hunt Hey, smarty pants! Welcome to college. And if you came from outside the area, welcome to Rochester. Chances are you’ll be spending the next four years here while you pursue your degree. You could spend the next 1400-some-odd days in the (metaphorically) warm embrace of your campus. Or you could venture outside the bubble and get to know a city that’s rich in culture and history. You got into college. You’re bright. This should be a pretty easy decision to make. Millennials apparently like to gamify everything. So we’ve put together a kindof scavenger hunt of 25 notable places in Rochester. They range from great outdoor spaces to shopping centers to artistic venues and everything in between. Take a break from your studies and try to hit each one of them. What kind of prize will you win? Well, a general knowledge of your current surroundings, for one. And beyond that, City Newspaper will offer a limited number of ginchy Student Survival buttons if you send fun photographic proof that you were in front of some of them. Tweet us @roccitynews with your pics and see if you win one. ART: This Blossoming art venue grabs attention with its bright blue exterior and rainbow flags flapping from the roof. Inside you’ll find an eclectic mix of art and items in settings that range from Japanese tea rooms to a faux firehouse to a Frank Lloyd Wright-style loft space. If you’re an artisan, it works.

THEATER: Broadway comes to Rochester
at this palatial, redundantly named theater. It’s located on a Main thoroughfare and is packed with performance spaces, churches, and offices for organizations (including one particularly happy one). For the 2013-14 season it will be visited by a ghost, a war horse, the Grinch, and the Phantom. THEATER: The name might evoke jolly old England, but this local theater is located right in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts (in a former bus-washing garage, of all things). For the 2013-14 season it will be home to Norma Desmond, Bette Davis, and Crumpet the Christmas Elf.

MUSIC: Located at the base of a bridge downtown, this arena does healthy business with Rochester’s patriotically named hockey team and other sports teams. But it also hosts some of the biggest touring acts to come through the area, including a particularly jam-covered fish this fall.

FUN: Get your mind into the gutter.
There are lots of awesome alleys in Rochester, but this particular venue has special nights just for college kids, and goes cosmic on Friday and Saturday nights for a balls-out rave. Fun fact: Thomas Jefferson was a huge fan of disco bowling… 6

Victor-ious shopper by hitting up some of the only local outposts for the Apple Store and the Lego Store. 7
FUN: Gather your nuts and take flight
for this community center in a historic neighborhood that provided the kernel for modern Rochester city life. Here you can get involved in pressing political and social causes, check out a variety show with direction, watch important films, and even learn circus arts. Let Clarissa explain it all. THEATER: You’ll find this local theater on a street named for a famous local collector and philanthropist, and across from a park named for a founding father. It used to be an armory, but now it hosts some of the best live theater in the Genesee Valley year-round. It’s actually home to two stages, including a smaller one dedicated to showcasing what’s next.

OUTDOORS: This natural feature was
once the hub of Rochester’s industrial development. Now its surrounding area is in transition, home to upscale condos, businesses, and even a nest for Red Wings. Check out the “gorges” view from a particular “pont,” which may someday soon become a hanging garden. OUTDOORS: This local landmark was designed by a man with a Central point of view. Put aside your reservoirations and check out its winding trails, surrounded by a staggering variety of flora. People flock here every May to celebrate a particularly flagrant bloom, but it is open year-round. Make sure to “conserve” your time and check out the indoor action for a practically tropical reprieve during the harsh Rochester winters.

ART: Satiate yourself with this artist collective on Rochester’s Main drag. This building is home to a variety of artist and artisan workspaces, and is especially bustling on the first Friday of every month. It recently became one of the few places in
11

the city where DC and Marvel fans can find some comic relief. MUSIC: The company that shares a name with this grand venue might be struggling currently, but this hall remains as glamorous as ever. If you attend the music school that is also associated with Rochester’s favorite son you’ll likely spend quite a bit of time here. But if not, make sure to orchestrate a pilgrimage to the East End to see what’s on the Fringe.
12

9
MUSIC: Formerly a repository for weapons and ammunition, this building is now a home to rock, rap, and jam-band acts rolling through Rochester. It’s a Main attraction that will bring some “Clarity” this fall, and has been doing brisk business with the college crowd with shows featuring glow-in-the-dark paint and foam.
10
SHOPPING: If you’re in need of new threads, take your little piggies to this sprawling mall in Henrietta. Here you’ll find big-name national department stores — every Ton, Dick, and Penney — a food court, and a variety of smaller service shops.
11
13
14
15
ART: The grounds of this museum,
which is technically part of the University of Rochester, are currently undergoing a massive facelift. Find a Good Man and head to the Neighborhood the Arts where you’ll find sculptures and gardens popping up all over the place. Inside you’ll find exhibits, an antique organ, and even a place for you to work on your creativity. 16 OUTDOORS: Not far from University of Rochester you’ll find this home to some of Rochester’s most notable residents. It’s a great place to go for a walk or a run, but slow down and take a tour. You’ll be amazed at what you can learn about Rochester’s history when you study the stones. continues on page 30

THEATER: This little gem in the
Neighborhood of the Arts has a funky name to go with its quirky mission. At this converted church you’ll find Shakespeare, absurdist theater, improv comedy, and for one week in August, even cats doing acrobatics. Find this one on the Atlantic coast. 18
OUTDOORS: Head north to the edge
of a big body of water to find this park with a sandy shore. In addition to a boardwalk, volleyball courts, a nearby marina, and a playground, you’ll also find a house filled with hundred-year-old galloping horses. Make sure to grab a cone at frozen custard shop Abbott’s. (There are two nearby.)
SHOPPING: If you can’t stand the big-box mentality, this outdoor market in the city is stocked with a variety of farmers, artisan foods, and small vendors. Here you’ll be able to find fresh produce and baked goods on the cheap, as well as hardto-find ingredients and yummy ready-made foods. Open to the Public on Thursdays, Saturdays, and select Sundays, it’s a Union of Rochester’s hipsters and conscious consumers. Oh, and food trucks!

20
ART: This East End art center
focuses on presenting of-themoment art. It presents a variety of exhibits throughout the year, organizes the monthly First Friday art crawl that takes place around Rochester, and as anyone who has ever attended its annual summer art fundraiser knows, it’s hip to be square. SHOPPING: Take a stroll through this quaint outdoor shopping district located along a historic Canal — it’s
21
definitely not the Pitts. Head east of the city and keep one jump ahead of hunger at Aladdin’s, or take a cruise along a Patch of the waterway. Schoen ‘nuff, you’ll have a good time. 22
FUN: Is it written in the stars? Find
out by visiting this spiral-shaped outpost of a local science museum. Get the big picture, go on a galaxy quest, or rock out to its laser shows on the weekends, which are set to modern pop-rock classics. Remember, the Sun rises in the East… 23
17
18
FUN: Get in touch with your inner
kid and take Manhattan with this local children’s museum. Inside you’ll find famous toys, a beloved address stocked with furry friends, a garden filled with butterflies, and even a working coinoperated video-game arcade. While it may be geared toward tots, there’s plenty for grown-ups, too. Check it out after classes on a Friday night or on the weekends. SHOPPING: It really does take a village to raise a child, and it takes this particular Village to raise some of the best-fed adults living in Rochester. An indoor shopping center in the Neighborhood of the Arts, this spot has become increasingly known for its wide variety of restaurants in recent year. You might say that it’s raising the bar. Of the Gate. (We’re terrible.)
19
24
MUSIC: Put your dowsing rod to work and find this happening music venue near the St. Paul district. Actually two clubs in one, it hosts shows nearly every night of the week, ranging from mid-sized alt-rock acts to smaller singer-songwriters.

FIVE WAYS TO SAVE FUEL 1. Don’t warm up your car in the morning. It wastes fuel. 2. Change the way you drive. Start up and accelerate smoothly. Don’t speed and keep changing lanes. Decelerate instead of braking. 3. Keep cool but not too cool. Use vents, windows and sunroof instead of air conditioning. 4. Check your tires. Under inflated tires wear out faster and yield lower mileage. 5. Clean out your trunk. Every 500 pounds you haul reduces your mileage from 2 to 5 mpg.
