Singles in Rochester

Rochester dating is the Flower City with a festival calendar — the Lilac Festival at Highland Park every May, the Strong National Museum of Play (a surprisingly great adult date), the East End's bars and the Public Market's Saturday crowds cover the social scene, while the High Falls gorge gives downtown drama. Dating culture is unpretentious and artsy: the George Eastman Museum, the Memorial Art Gallery, and the Eastman School of Music's free concerts draw a cultured crowd, and locals bond over surviving winter together. Practical tip: Public Market on a Saturday morning, then the East End at night — and keep chatting free on HySingle through the long winters, because Rochester romances are built on good conversation and shared hot drinks.
