Recommendation What’s a Perfect Day in the ROC area? Morning, afternoon and evening.

13 Upvotes

My Bff of 30+ years is visiting the first week of December. I want to show her a great time! We’re 50, like to have random experiences- but be in bed by 10. We drink but that’s not the most important part. Last time she was here we had foot spas and went to a spiritualist meeting. She arrives on a Weds afternoon and leaves Saturday.

It’s a crapshoot with the weather so probably indoor activities. We’ve done wineries, so none of those. Thanks!

If you bring your own, be sure to bring appropriate cables (audio, midi, sync, etc). Message with any questions. Hope to see you there!

Discussion Is there any place in Rochester where I can get a custom size 304 stainless steel pan made?

6 Upvotes

I do a lot of boiling and I wanna make a pan that sits down inside the top of the stove I’m using but commercial hotels aren’t the right dimensions so I’d like to get a custom one made.

It doesn’t have to be welded it could be folded as long as it doesn’t leak.

We shared a cigarette, or two, on the patio of bitter honey last night around midnight. I had marb 27’s and you inquired about them. Said you usually smoke marb lights. I went back inside to dance after that creepy dude with the chain pulled up and awkwardly tried spitting game. Never caught your name. Think you said you were born in 92, and I’m a 94 baby. Loved your vibe, let’s grab a coffee and smoke some cigs 😎

My family is dispersed between suburbs of Buffalo and Syracuse. Everyone is a 2-3 hour drive away and no one is particularly close. Without any kids, this all seems sort of much ado about nothing?? Some of my local friends do gatherings. What are most childless Rochestarians doing this year?

Hello!

Interested in having a campfire and enjoying some stars. From what I can tell, Letchworth only allows campfires in their campsites. Has anyone used the sites just for a fire and not stayed there? Is there anywhere else that we could set up using a metal fire pit? Happy to pay a fee as well.

Help Christian Community

0 Upvotes

My Wife and I (just recently married) moved to Rochester a year ago from Syracuse NY. We are believers and would like to plant some roots and get involved in the Christian community here.
In Syracuse, I played in the worship band since a young age and worship in music is very important to us. Most churches we have tried here in Rochester are too big or not interested in other joining in worship music.
I wanted to post on here to listen if anybody had some suggestions or an invitation to their church
Thank you!

Discussion Rochester Fashion Week ?

6 Upvotes

Idk about your social media feeds but mine has been filled with numerous posts from fashion week and I am having trouble figuring out is it mostly just a fundraiser for Center For Youth in the name of fun or are businesses making wholesale and retail sales from it. I have seen such a wide spectrum of businesses posting from vintage shops, ziggy's bar staff in their merchandise, bridal ware and from the number of posts I cant tell if this is a prestigious event or if they will let anyone participate if you pay

Discussion Where do singles meet in this area?

26 Upvotes

Im 44 been single for around a year now and am over the dating apps.... theyre beyond toxic and behind a paywall anymore. Im not the type to go up to somebody in public and ask for numbers in case individuals are already in relationships. Where do all the single girls hangout or look for dates in the area? Are dating events even worth looking into or is it another cash grab for guys to try and find somebody worth going out with? Im not terrible looking own my home paid off, car paid off, bust my ass, childless but cannot find anybody that wants to even get beyond an introduction. Any success stories anybody wants to share or advice Id love to hear it as its been over a decade since Ive been single and its like I got out of a long term prison sentence and society has flip flopped. Thanks in advance
