Rochester - Stuck at Mayo for a few days! [Moved from Minneapolis-St. Paul Board]

[Aramek]

As a quick preface, no, I'm not sick. I work as a Lab person in my Hospital's Cancer Centre, and was chosen to be the envoy of my department for this Medical Conference.

As such, I'll be in Rochester, near-ish the Clinic, I think, from this (3/10/10) Wednesday Night till Friday Afternoon. As I've never been to Rochester, I was warned by my superiors that, well, it can get a bit boring. I know this is super short notice, but, if any of you have been in the region, do you know of any amazing places to eat/drink/be merry? I'm interested in trying all kinds of food, the more "local" the better!

That's what I've been hearing, but any place I havent yet eaten is an adventure to me! Thankfully, I think they're putting me up in that Hilton Garden that is right next to Jasper's. So, that'll be a blast!

Keep your expectations low and you can find a few places in Rochester. The second link Brad posted is the best and the one that I used when I was there.
