Elizas 1st birthday party yesterday at @noshroc was a huge “smash” Thank you to everyone who helped to make it the best party we’ve ever thrown! Chef @jzolnierowski definitely outdid himself but I’d expect nothing less. We truly have the best friends in the world! Months of coordinating all our help and planning out every last detail was exhausting but made it so much sweeter seeing it all come to fruition. Can’t wait to do it all again for her sweet 16 #firstbirthday #sweetone #firstbirthdayparty #turningone
Every great romantic movie has a scene in the rain, whether it’s a proclamation of love or a dramatic kiss as the music swells, à la The Notebook, so it’s only fitting that I acknowledge my love of Rochester with a rainy day shot of the city where East Ave meets downtown. There’s just something about the gradual way the residential streets of Park and East (where I live!) lead into downtown that it surprises you when you’re suddenly in the heart of the city and it gets me every time. Plus, I secretly love rainy days and how the city looks in the gray and gloom. 10/10 would gladly chase after you in the rain, Rochester. // @missychristman 1/8 #explorerochester
Had a lovely visit today to the Strong Museum of Play, in Rochester, NY. Call me impressed! It was not at all what I expected. They use a broad definition of the word "play," and my favorite part was the "Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden." At this time of year, it was filled with dozens of blooming orchid plants for the hundreds of free-flying butterflies to enjoy. I followed a gorgeous blue Morpho butterfly around for quite a while, hoping it would alight long enough to grab a shot. No luck. But then this pretty Lime Swallowtail swooped in for a feed. Got him! If you find yourself anywhere near Rochester, I seriously recommend a stop at the Strong Museum. It's not just for kids! .

The newest addition to hit Park Ave, Szechuan Opera! Located where Cobbs Hill Pizza & Pasta was (630 Park Ave) with a radical departure on what it used to look like. A beautifully decorated space adorned with Chinese art serving up authentic Sichuan cuisine. My lunch buddy @explrupstate & I ordered the Crispy Cucumber, Scallion Pancakes, the Seafood Cumin Style entreé & the Beef Dry Pot style to end.Our fav was the cumin dish! With tons of vegetarian options & lunch specials, you should definitely check this place out.

Can’t take the heat - adjust your level of spice to cater to your taste.This adds to my repertoire of top Sichuan spots in the ROC: Dragon Palace, Tsingtao House, and now Szechuan Opera! #sirrochasays
