Food/restaurant information for students staying in off-campus housing
Grocery stores
Rochester has several supermarkets, including Wegmans, Aldi, Tops, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods, but students should note that the neighborhood immediately around Eastman does not have a grocery store within easy walking distance: the nearest Wegmans is approximately two miles away. A car, public transportation, taxi, or rideshare service will be needed to get to a grocery store if you plan to stay downtown.
