If you're a BBQ fan and anywhere near Rochester NY, then you've got to visit Dinosaur BBQ. Don't worry, they have beer too.
I went there about ten years ago, have probably tried 50 different BBQ places, and this is definitely in my top 3.
There's nothing else to do in Rochester, so don't plan a weekend around it!
From what I can gather, in a nutshell, I would say virtually all the bars in nyc are just good and cool for touristsI would be surprised to see if there is anyone who is saying anything definite here. There are just way too many around there to begin to nail down the best, in my opinion at least. That said, though, not a local here so take that for what you will.
