I had a really super cool weekend (as evidenced by the other two items in the title). On Thursday some friends and I went to this really fancy cupcake place in Rochester called Sugar Mountain Bake Shoppe. They sell gourmet cupcakes in a whole bunch of flavors, and apparently it takes them two days to make the cupcakes. Anyway, it was my friend Meg's first time, and you could tell by the look on her face that everything from the greeter to the decor had her a bit stunned (both were very eccentric). They also make really good tea here, so if you're looking for something a little different, I would highly recommend it.
After cupcakes we went to this cool British pub called The Old Toad where I had a hard cider because I despise the taste of beer. This place had a cool atmosphere too, all kinds of maps and pictures, including the "beeriodic table of elements". We have vowed to return for their trivia night at some point.
On Saturday, Joanna and I attempted to go snowshoeing to fulfill a bucket list item, but alas, we were unable to locate the showshoe rentals. Next time we'll have t call ahead, because this was not a figure it out when you get there or google it type of place. We got to go on a nice snowy nature walk anyway and saw a doe that was NOT afraid of humans up close.
After our snowshoeing fail we met up with other friends for the Canandaigua Wine Walk, which was the perfect mix of classy and accessible. For $5 we got to sample a wide variety of wines at different shops on Main St in Canandaigua. This also afforded us the opportunity to explore some of the shops we normally wouldn't visit. For example, Coach St Clay turned out to be a nice little gallery with portraits of robots and narwhals, which is not at all what I expected based on the surrounding buildings.
We were able to finish the night with some delicious crepes at Simply Crepes, where we have become regulars. Overall a fun filled time with everyone while they were on break from college!
