    Love Is in the ROC: Valentine's Events, Hygge & a Winter Escape
    Feb 12 2026

    In this episode of The Rochester Rundown, we're sharing what's hot in the ROC for Valentine's Day—Galentine's at MAG, Silent Disco at Montage, a Valentine's cocktail class, and a fun Kids' Night Out option for parents.

    We also break down local lender grant programs that could help buyers with down payments and closing costs—especially first-time buyers.

    Plus, in "Sold or Not Sold?" we debate the cozy design trend Hygge, and we wrap with a winter-perfect ROC recommendation: Lamberton Conservatory, your tropical escape in the middle of February. 💛

    This week we're fully embracing winter—literally. We're talking about the Rochester Polar Plunge: who it supports, why people voluntarily jump into freezing water, and how you can get involved. We're also highlighting the Lakeside Winter Celebration and inviting you to join our team. Then we switch gears with funny client stories, a ROC café we can't stop going back to, a hot take on carpeted bathrooms, and what's coming up around Rochester as Valentine's season approaches. Cheers!

    Remembering Dr. King, Serving Our City & Supporting Black-Owned Rochester
    Jan 15 2026

    In this episode, we pause to reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and what his message of service, equity, and community means right here in Rochester. We highlight meaningful ways to serve our city, share local MLK Day events and volunteer opportunities, and spotlight Black-owned businesses that deserve our support—not just this week, but all year long. It's a conversation rooted in reflection, action, and appreciation for the people and organizations that help make Rochester stronger when we show up for one another.
