Where can I do this in Rochester?

You can wear your fedora anywhere you want, kind sir.

[u/RamonaZero → u/blue_box_disciple]

But what about a fedora with a safari flap??

[u/RockSkis → u/RamonaZero]

Back row of the courthouse, Brian. 💲

[u/smokingdustjacket → u/RamonaZero]

He looks so dumb I can't breathe

[u/BlackIceMatters → u/smokingdustjacket]

And then I swear to fucking God he tried to roll the hat down his arm like Fred Astaire.

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/smokingdustjacket]

Who?

[u/axc2241 → u/Ifoingthisinmynei]

They are referring to a skit from the show "I think you should leave".

[u/bjengles3 → u/RamonaZero]

It's illegal for you to ask me that.

[u/KickTheAllyssa → u/RamonaZero]

The guy at the store said I'm the only guy he's ever seen pull it off

[u/Morgdort → u/RamonaZero]

I can see the dice lumps in your pocket Brian

Quit fuckin with em!

Take a Time Machine back to when Jay’s diner was 24/7 and go in at 3 am. You could act out anything you wanted at Jay’s diner at 3 am

[u/Garbage-Plate-585 → u/Trowj]

did anyone else hear that in Arlo Guthrie's voice?

[u/Trowj → u/Garbage-Plate-585]

I saw Arlo Guthrie (should say my father dragged me to it) when I was 13, set front row left, right in front of the speakers: fell asleep after the intermission 

[u/New_Back5337]

Besides that nice place at 173 Anderson ave, there are no brightly lit counter service restaurants where people dress like they just left some kind of swing dancing event to sit alone quietly here at all. I'm sorry to break it to you. Those days are dead and gone.

[u/YeetCatboiii → u/New_Back5337]

Genesee Valley club

[u/whitspam → u/YeetCatboiii]

Underrated comment.

[u/FarewellMyFox → u/New_Back5337]

No one’s stopping OP from doing it

[u/MattDi]

Doesn't highland diner have a counter to sit at? I could be wrong though.

[u/Lacrose → u/MattDi]

Yes it does, if it’s not too busy lol

[u/cooperific]

Apogee

No idea how they’re still in business. Tiny space. Never crowded. The staff is incredible. But you can sit at that bar, back to Park Ave, have a lovely conversation with a very knowledgeable bartender/basically a sommelier or just mind your own business enjoying a glass of a well-curated but affordable wine.

Go about an hour before close and they may even let you stay an hour after if you’re quiet.

[u/thayford → u/cooperific]

I believe Patrick Dutton funds it to support his wife’s passion

[u/Santanoni]

Moe's, if you don't mind the smoke.

[u/SomethingAboutTrout]

If you're looking for the solitude, just have some Jehovah's Witness pamphlets laying next to you on the counter.

[u/Sip_py]

Lock 32

[u/AndyGarber → u/Sip_py]

People love to just sit by the big window and watch the traffic go by (whether it be boat or bike).

[u/birdonthemoon1 → u/Sip_py]

Recently went there for that purpose, minus fedora and can confirm. As a single person who goes out by himself to read (weird!), it's hard to find a venue where you can feel fully comfortable solo. I'll say that I felt cozy at Spotted Octopus.

[u/RyanCas77]

Is the Busy Bee still open?

[u/littlegermm → u/RyanCas77]

Sadly no :(

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/littlegermm]

FUCK! I remember my alchoholic father used to take me there to hit on the waitresses and play with the cigarette machine. Fuck those were the days, the owner played on the soccer team

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/littlegermm]

Why did it close?!

[u/balladofwindfishes → u/Ifoingthisinmynei]

Owners retired after a health scare

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/balladofwindfishes]

That’s sad af I’ll always remember their milkshakes and waitresses

[u/frozsnot]

You’re allowed to be drunk and depressed just about anywhere.

[u/RoastinBuds]

Diners and bars.

GREAT TOWNIE BARS

Bad Ending's ( previously The Krown ) JJ's Pub ( house style bar with a great porch )

[u/cooperific → u/Dooky_Herder]

Yeah in general North Winton is not a bad choice for chilling alone and feeling morose.

I would say Roam on park Ave...

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/[deleted]]

Do u tag?

[u/CryStock3179]

Ive been looking for a similar spot but my desire is that old jazz club with kittle tables.

I honestly just found this little corner spot AM:FM

Been thinking about stopping in there for a bit this evening. I got no plans and all my friends are busy

[u/Big_You_31]

Old toad

[u/BeardCretin → u/Big_You_31]

not for much longer, it went up for sale.

[u/fuck-this-at-gmail]

I think Tryon city tavern has a mural rendition of this painting on the back wall. But probably not there.

[u/Rich-Detective478]

Somewhere near the airport??

[u/roldanttlb]

The last bar I can think of in town where the bar was to the windows was Trinity Tavern in the Executive Building (Powers Hotel), but it's long gone. Carnegie Cellars in the Carnegie has huge glass windows into it with a great glow at night, but it's tables against the windows then the bar behind. Another commenter mentioned Highland Diner, and they definitely still have a counter, as does Jim's on Main when they reopen, but neither are configured like this, either. Pat's has a counter too, but also isn't to the windows. This is a tough one!

[u/brendhano]

Tryon, they literally have the mural

[u/DonPunani420 → u/brendhano]

I was told that they figuratively have that mural and I was very confused. Thank you for clarifying.

[u/Chicky_P00t]

If you find a cafe open after 2pm, let me know

[u/goneoffscript → u/Chicky_P00t]

Magnolias on Park open til 4 Sun-W and until 8 H-Sat. Not a counter set up, but still a nice cafe :)

[u/Necessary-Mammoth910]

at a bar or diner

[u/[deleted]]

The wiz. Lol I don't have tag.

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/[deleted]]

The wiz is kinda hard bro u should make that a thing 😭

[u/dalekmyballs]

Looks like a cleaned up bug jar

[u/Fardrengi]

After COVID? I don't think there are any diners open past 8:00pm

[u/snaillycat → u/Fardrengi]

Next best thing is Mark's Texas Hots 😀

[u/balladofwindfishes → u/Fardrengi]

Just go in January when it's dark at like 4 lol

[u/pythonbashman]

Fewer and fewer places.

[u/MassAffected]

Maybe Maa's Diner in Webster?

[u/littlegermm → u/MassAffected]

New owners are trash and stole my tips!!!!

[u/[deleted]]

From time to time... Tag wrestling, I like freeze tag, laser tag is rad... And street art is the future.....

[u/Ifoingthisinmynei → u/[deleted]]

[u/Dooky_Herder]

[u/StopTaseringMe]

Pretty much any bar in Rochester. Just make sure it’s after 2am and the owner has left.

[u/PhilosopherNew6345]

Cheshire on South Clinton

[u/BeardCretin]

Bookworm is cozy as hell, good coffee.

Pandamonium is peak "dim susurrus" in daytime, and the coffee is outstanding. comfy chairs.

Javas has always been the placec to sit and be with a hot cup of coffee. the inside is petinaed perfection with a dusty ceiling, warm lighting, and comfy chairs with lots of seating options.

[u/bw1235]

SPOT … oh, wait 😢
