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. 💛

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.

We're saying goodbye to Highmark Stadium, sharing our favorite Bills memories, and helping future homebuyers get ready for 2026. Add in local wellness love, a hot take on open shelving, and a sneak peek at what's next in the ROC—cheers!
