Rochester

Rochester is easier to compare neighborhood by neighborhood: Center City has the Genesee River and High Falls, while Park Avenue and the Neighborhood of the Arts offer different local routines.

Park Avenue's shops and cafés may suit someone who wants regular stops close to home; the museums and galleries around NOTA suggest another pattern.
