there anything cuter (and maybe equally deadly) than a baby shark? Maybe not,
but you should come down to take a bite out of what this guy-and-girl combo has
to offer. Nick Walter and Peter House will be opening up, music starts at 9
p.m., and cover costs $5-$7.

MUSIC: Want to enjoy some music and work toward a higher
purpose at the same time? A Concert of
Peace

Uptown Music (122 East Ave., bernunzio.com) featuring SonamTargee, Bruce McClellan, and Steven Imburgia. A partnership between Bernuzio’s,
SUNY Empire State College, United Nations Association of Rochester, and the
