Giving it that Rochester flair

While lots of towns feature a Restaurant Week, leave it Rochester to turn it up a notch. Downtown shops will be staying open later for the week, at least until 8 p.m. today through Wednesday and 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Participating businesses include Dessert Oasis, , , , and .

"We've heard a lot of positive feedback from other communities that do Restaurant Week and they tell us that when people come to eat, they also come to shop," said Stacey Keast, DDA event coordinator.

In addition, restaurants are partnering with downtown businesses in unique ways for the week. 

"For example, Penny Black, which serves Fieldstone wine, is pairing wines with each of their prix fixe menu items," said Keast.
