Getaway to the Other Side of the Public Market!
Sweet.
Marathon NY's Maple Fest is 4/5 and 4/6. 53 years.
I agree with the Union Oyster House and Legal Sea Foods. I absolutely do not want dill in my chowda!,,,
Love Pizza Stop! It is so close to my office, we walk there all the time. Pizza Wizard is also very good!
Mama Mia's down in Geneseo used to be pretty great. (I haven't been there in a while though.)
i heard from an afghan that there is an excellent afghan bread bakery located behind an indian grocery. hope you can track it down and review it.
One could argue the order of your top 3, but you really did pick the three best
Chester Cab Pizza on Park Ave too, I'm not a big "Chicago Style " pie guy, but damn they make a good one. Plus their wings are epic, especially the breaded ones, & they come with a big thing of dipping sauces.
@@stevemooney9546 Thanks for the heads up 👍
Lives in Rochester 40 years, captain tonys on Winton or 2 ton tonys if your looking for the biggest pizza in Rochester using the Rochester famous perellies sauce
30 year transplant from NYC/LI/NJ here. I try all pizza like its a mission. Guaranteed yummy to my taste are Perri's (Huge Slice), Mark's (Their New York Style isnt what it says, but it is delicious!), Byrne Dairy (but not all locations are great - Manitou & Spencerport Rd is current fave), and Pizza Land in Avon (Sluces suck and sit and go stale, but get a fresh pie and its thick bubbly fluffy heaven).
What establishment is open only 2 days a week for few hours. Must be expensive
Forgot GG’s pizza in East Rochester
How about some favorite Finger Lake getaways?
Mike if you get a chance and you are in Corning you gotta try Aniellos. Amazing. When i had to go down there for work i would never pass it by without stopping.
@@jkk2399 we think alike! I am a big fan of Aniello’s on Market St.! In fact, I’ve mentioned them in a few of my past Corning Getaways! Thanks for the heads up!
You’re the man Mike!
When it comes to pizza, the thinner the better is my preference! Thanks to Mike the Getaway Guy for this interesting local program!
6:38 All Star is the best!
Wow! Salvatore's didn't make the list
Well yea, he said "BEST SLICES" of pizza. Chain slices are okay but there are actual good and way better pizza than Salavatores.
May I suggest El latino At 1020 Chili ave , This place is a mecca for truely great latino foods Theres always a line and the food is full of wonderful flavours
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to check it out, 👍😎
@@xcentrixone Thanks for letting me know 👍
Nice job! You know good pie! I make my own in a woodfired oven, but I can tell they got going on! Suggest you give it a try, making it is half the enjoyment.
Between this pizza spot and Wegmans Who wants to leave the upstate NY region ✌🏻🤣👍🏻
My vote goes to--Pizza Chef, in Fairport
My personal favorites after years of trying things. Pontillo's in the Basin TK's in Fairport Cam's Penfield (250 & 441)
Canandaigua Pontillo's is the best in the area!
I would drive the hour down the road and get some real Buffalo wings with my pizza
Where is Cams Pizzeria?
Cam's has a location on Brighton-Henrietta Town line Road next to Dunkin Donuts, and another in College Town, Mt. Hope at Elmwood.
Guida's Pizzeria is currently my favorite. Gotta ask for the round, thin crust, and well done. Cam's has really good taste as well just depends which one you go to, Titus is probably the best. Linda's used to be way up there but they fell off the last couple times I went there and haven't gone back.
what about pontillo's?
Yuk! It’s like having sauce and cheese on a cardboard box.
a review with countless self serving adds and you start out by showing a new pizza shop?! sorry you just don't get what a review is - bye!
Chester Cab👍
Cams
By far the best in Rochester for true NY style is Joes Brooklyn
Rochester native you just can't beat a zweigle's hot dog white or red
Pontillos Bushnell Basin is my favorite slice. Not a fan of Detroit style pizza.
Ill never buy a slice, fresh pie or nothing. And nothing in rochester so far has been that great. I still need to try peels on wheels, they make a real grandmas pie which is my favorite and gives me cautious hope. Not like the garbage fake grandma pie at joes brooklyn. Pontillos on lake ave fresh out of the oven is decent. But i dont get pizza often livong here, having lived in nyc for a while almost everything sucks. There is a reason dave portnoy hasnt visited a place here ever. We have bad pizza.
pontillos hudson ave ... tremendous slices.
Nino's rocks! Haven't been in awhile because I am not nearby, but double yum!!
Mike, didnt you work in boston at channel 5 ?
Loved it! pontillos in the basin is good!
You hit the nail on the head with Dogtown. My absolute favorite Hot Dog place 😋. My favorite is the Boston Terrier.
Carbones!
On my list! Gotta try it.
they're all shit tbh
Then what isn't?
I can't wait to get to Boston... ❤❤💚💚
*Everybody* should know Nino's! Been going there over 40 years now.
Reasonably priced too, we love ninos!
@brendanhennessy6325 Absolutely adore it, and him. I'm actually sitting here waiting on a pizza now! He just had his 75th birthday a couple of days ago, still has the balloons in the shop.
i was pretty excited to watch this, thinking it was going to be at least 10 minutes of walk throughs of Greycliff... but it is mainly ads and info about other places.. somewhat informative but i didnt just want, so much, to know this house was here and when its tours were open, but more about the house and the people... did you know this house was built with so much glass because Martin's wife was almost blind and their first house by Wright is the iconic D Martin House which was not as well lit by windows.. This one has amazing views, too, which i heard about but didnt get to see here.. .. . Don't feel bad, though, i havent found pictures or videos of those views anywhere else either lol If you start with Frank Lloyd Wright's wikipedia article you can find many interesting stories and links to his works and the people he hung out with... Darwin was a lifelong friend of Wright's and The Great Depression took them down with all the others who were destroyed by that debacle.. OP here characterizes Darwin Martin as a rich guy and leaves it at that but he was a part of a great american story about building a great company from scratch and NOT stepping on everyone to do it. What i wouldn't give to step upon this land and immerse myself in this environment created by Wright and inspired by the Martin's sensibilities... To be able to be within this home surrounded by the sheer beauty of the nature it sits within would awe me to speechlessness. ....anyway... onward lol
You helped me find some new places, but there were too many ads and you missed some great local shops outside the city.
Love the show!
Hi John, the day we filmed the segment, we ran out of time to include the museum. That’s why you’ll also see an entire segment devoted to The Glenn Curtis Museum. Scroll down through the shows on my site to find it. Thanks for watching, John!
You failed to mention the Gleñ Curtiss museum on route 54
Did a whole episode on it ! ua-cam.com/video/GjKpU2Qpmq0/v-deo.html
Thanks Dave! I’ll have to check it out 👍
