I couldn’t agree with you more, I am a Wegmans employee and i cant think of a better place to work. Just about every company preaches about how much their employee’s matter but no one i have worked for in my life before has come closeto what you get as a Wegmans employee. you really are part of a family. They make everyone feel important from the floor crew(cleaners) all the way up to the CEO’s. I love working & shopping at Wegmans. The extra money you spend at Wegmans is worth it.

Rochester Restaurants:
Tastings — Located at above address — gourmet restaurant attached to store, best sushi I’ve had on the east coast. And it’s fresh…obviously. Awesome tasting menu for $40.
Max — on East Avenue
Tapas — (fun fusion food and great bar)
Good Luck (very cool restaurant that just opened)

Great bar –especially in the summer = Marge’s on the Lake

I’ve heard all about Wegman’s from some family members who lived in upstate NY quite a while ago. They ranted and raved about the produce section like it was the most amazing thing on earth. I remember thinking at the time that apples couldn’t really be all that cool, but maybe I was missing something. I had forgotten all about it until I read this post.

I may have to travel to Rochester for work in the future, is this store anywhere in the area? If I firm up my travel plans I am hoping to get some good tips on stuff to eat/places I just have to see while in the area!

When I moved down here I was shocked at the quality lacking in other grocery chains. When you grow up with Wegmans you just assume that is where all food comes from. I first learned about foreign cuisine hanging out in the “Olde World” section when my mom was shopping.

People would suggest that “You really don’t have much entertainment up there” when I would extoll the virtues of an afternoon at Wegys. Now, finally they have opened a few stores here and they see the light. I actually bought my house based on it’s proximity to our Wegmans.

And btw, upstate NY doesn’t hold you back - it makes you stronger. As Garrison Kealor once said of Lake Wobegone “Winter here is a test of survival. It will actually try to kill you”
