About the Neighborhood

The neighborhood called "Swillburg" in Rochester's Southeast quadrant, is fantastically romantic compared to its name, which references the neighborhood's past as a large pig farm. Swillburg is a perfect date night, wrapped up neatly in tidy, tree-lined streets dense with early 20th century urban cottages, public art installations, and neighborhood gardens. With your choice of fresh unadulterated sashimi at Shiki, the world's most perfect escargot at Rooney's, or sweet, tender chicken makhani at India House, to name just a few, Swillburg has more than a dozen dinner options consisting of some of Rochester's bestestablished and most acclaimed restaurants. After dinner, hit a double feature at the Cinema Theater for less than the cost of a "trash" plate. And what could be more romantic than sharing a milkshake at the historic Highland Diner? Swillburg is... just swell.
