Rochester Shopping The best shopping is in the village of Pittsford, about 6 miles southeast of downtown. In the village proper, at the intersection of Main Street and Monroe Avenue are lined with restaurants and shops. Rochester Food The most highly recommended restaurants are closed on Sundays. Ugh. Looks like I'll need to research more on TripAdvisor. However, a popular Rochester treat is Abbot's Frozen Custard, opened in 1926. It is thicker and creamier than ice cream, and great on hot days.
