Fleet Feet Sports
In 2014, Fleet Feet Rochester was named one of the top 50 running stores in the country. Probably the best place in the region to get running shoes, precisely fitted to your feet and gait. The owners also run YellowJacket Racing, so they really know their stuff, and they tirelessly promote running (and walking) for fun and fitness. There's another store in Victor and one in Buffalo (Fleet Feet Syracuse has different owners).

Cobb's Hill Reservoir Park
Cobb's Hill provides a great panoramic view of downtown. Located on the corner of Culver and Monroe, it is an easy walk from the cafes on Park Ave. Large duck pond, baseball diamond, tennis courts and a nice (although steep) trail to the top of the hill, where the reservoir is located. A path popular with runners circles the reservoir. Adjacent to Washington Grove, 26 acres of old-growth Oak–Hickory forest right in the middle of the city.

Jines
According to the jingle, "Sooner or later, everyone dines at Jines," which may only be a slight exaggeration. Jines is one of a cluster of restaurants at the corner of Park and Berkeley, each with very popular sidewalk tables (at least in nice weather), which makes this a particularly lively and inviting stretch of Park Avenue. Jines was part of the wave of Greek-American diners that opened in the 60s and 70s, though this is more "family restaurant" than "greasy spoon". The atmosphere and service are familial (the Gines family still runs the place), and the menu is extensive, hearty, and not without its creativity.
