Buy an RTS day pass in the app instead of paying cash, it's cheaper if you ride 3+ times and buses thin out after 8pm.
George Eastman Museum blew me away, great exhibits and manageable lines. Worth the ticket if you like photography.
Go to Rochester Public Market on Saturday mornings for cheap local food and great breakfast sandwiches, skip pricey downtown cafes.
Nice for a weekend, downtown is quiet after 9pm and many shops close early, so plan evening plans ahead.
Good museums and friendly locals, but April was colder than I expected. Pack layers and an umbrella.
