ART REVIEW: Where art lives
After four years, 1975 Gallery finally has a home of its own. The inaugural show at this permanent, white-walls location is a celebration of Rochester art and a lesson for those who think world-class art is only being created by a handful of established individuals in our city.

DINING REVIEW: Delish Bakery
There’s a stretch of Park Avenue, roughly between Goodman and Oxford, that might be considered a sort of pan-European hideaway. Roam Café, with its vaguely Italian theme and its ardently Italian Vespas, holds down the spot at 260 Park.

Deliver the Vetiver
The principle ingredients in Vetiver’s mix complement and counter one another, creating a splendid sparkle. It’s a tonal blend of simple pop sugar over a more serious folk-rock stock. By definition, that kind of puts the San Francisco band on the crowded indie shelf in the hip aisle. But Vetiver extends into its own territory […]
