J. Press is a New Haven legend. Located conveniently right in the center of its biggest customer base, the students at Yale, the store offers an incredibly well-selected array of merchandise for the well-dressed man. The proprietors of the store only stock the best suits, sport-coats, jackets and pants, as well as most delicate shirts. One thing is for certain, J. Press will not sell low-quality merchandise. The staff shows years of experience and is extremely knowledgeable.
Quality, however, carries with it a price, and since J. Press is so far ahead of the competition in the city of New Haven, they can charge higher than them, too.

Tina Tang quit her job in finance to follow her love of jewelery making. And she has found success with her delicate, feminine pieces, many of which have been featured in popular national women's magazines. All her pieces are of the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.
Her store has many items on display, yet is still minimalist in decor and what is being shown in the cases. The sales staff do not pressure you to purchase anything and hang back until you approach them. Her jewelry is mainly in silver and semi-precious stones. However, you can ask her to create a piece in any combination and she is happy to oblige. For my sister's wedding, we found beautiful earrings but wanted them to match her red bridesmaid dresses so Tina changed the stones for us. She also makes whimsical charm bracelets that are perfect for any age.

This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Everything here is beyond my strongest raves. The restaurant is small, possibly only seating 20 people and you can easily walk past it if you don't know that you are looking for it. You will be sitting closely to fellow diners so if you are looking for privacy, this is not the place for you.
Everything is made fresh, with only the highest quality Mexican ingredients. Make no mistake, this is not Tex-Mex, it is true Mexican food.
The guacamole is creamy, slightly spicy, and just downright delicious. The burritos are served sliced like sushi, with the rice and homemade tomato/cheese sauce on the outside and are somehow broiled to make the tortilla warm and crisp. There are always specials for appetizers, salads and main dishes, frequently fish and very unique combinations of ingredients.
This is a don't miss restaurant--you can also call ahead and take out if you wish.

This movie theater is a good neighborhood offering for those who do not want to drive to a larger megaplex. They usually only show one or two films at a time, because it is a small theater. However, the prices are very inexpensive. In fact, two people can see a movie at West Wayne Theatre for what one would pay at the megaplex!
It makes a great place for a family night or day out at the movies because it is affordable and the theater usually shows popular movies, albeit well after their general release. Movies here are also usually family friendly.

This consignment shop is located in a house on the main street in the Village of Fairport. It has two floors of furniture and other household items, displayed in such a manner as you would see them in someone's house, which makes it much easier to envision them in your own home. There are things such as mirrors and paintings, as well as chairs, dressers, tables and display cabinets. All are high quality pieces and the prices are expensive, for a consignment shop. You are, however, guaranteed an excellent item at that price.

Leonard Opticians has this Upper East Side location as well as one in Midtown. I prefer the Upper East Side location where the staff is nicer and more laid back.
They have an opulent collection of designer frames and they don't come cheap. However, you can also bring your own frames and they will fit lenses to those frames. I brought a bunch I picked up at a sample sale and they had no problem putting in the lenses.
I have a cornea condition and Leonard Opticians is the only place in New York City that can make lenses to my prescription. They are top notch and are used by all the best eye doctors and specialists in the City.

This salon is located in the sparsely and strangely populate strip mall adjacent to the Martin's grocery store in Fairport. To say it sticks out is an understatement.
When you walk into the salon, its understated elegance makes you forget you are in this strip mall. The receptionist is welcoming and you are quickly escorted to the back to meet with your stylist. The salon is done in muted shades so it is a relaxing experience. My stylist consulted with me to learn more about how I style my hair, the amount of time I want to devote to my daily hair care and the texture of my hair to determine what cuts to recommend. She foiled my hair and left me with beautiful golden and red highlights that I received many compliments on for many weeks. Her technique was excellent, but she was cold personality-wise so I have not yet returned. I think I will, only I will request one of the owners as my stylist next time, as they seemed more warm and able to make their clients feel comfortable.

The decor of this salon is very hip and stylish, making you feel instantly at home. The waiting area has the most comfortable couches and a great magazine selection. Plus, a huge bowl of candy!
Anyway, Lisa is the stylist I see the most and she is very skilled at all hair types (my mom, sisters and some friends all go to her and we have different lengths and textures) as well as both formal hairstyles and cuts for everyday wear. She is very friendly and makes suggestions for what is best for your hair texture, taking in mind your lifestyle. She does a great job with color as well, providing color that gets you lots of compliments, but is never obvious.
The prices are very reasonable for the high quality service you are provided.

This zoo has been around for nearly a century and houses about 200 animals. Unlike the major metropolitan zoos, there are not a lot of exotic animals here; rather, the basic range of zoo animals. There are many types of birds and primates, as well as reptiles.
There are many programs offered for children, so it makes a great place to take kids for a relaxing day. The zoo is not overly crowded either, so you can really enjoy the different exhibits. Cost is reasonable as well.
The zoo has had to downsize (especially on wildlife rehabilitation) due to the City of Utica no longer funding its activities. It is now reliant on donations.
