Cheesy Eddie's
Quite simply, Cheesy Eddie's makes great cheesecakes in a variety of flavors. In addition, their carrot cakes are widely considered the best in the area by a wide margin—deliciously moist with a perfectly balanced cream cheese frosting. Or try the Delights: two cookies sandwiching a dollop of cream cheese frosting.
Tue-Fri 9AM-5PM, Sat 9AM-2PM (earlier close in winter)

Abundance Cooperative Market
Owned by two thousand locals who've invested in this cooperative, the market is open to anyone who wants to buy their groceries from a community oriented and democratically controlled business. They moved to the new location on South Ave in 2017.

Lux
Lux is something of an alternative bar in Rochester and trades on being in the South Wedge to add cred to the atmosphere. Lots of tattoos and piercings and a good PBR special. The back yard is great. They have hammocks in the summer time and a huge wood burning stove for the winter. This place is something you would expect to find in Brooklyn not Rochester.
