About this Neighborhood

Highland Park is built around Frederick Law Olmsted's botanical arboretum, one of several Rochester parks he designed. The greenery sets the tone, but the food holds its own: 18 restaurants at a 4.6 average, led by Dogtown, The Owl House and Cedar Mediterranean Restaurant, backed by more than 5,500 Yelp reviews. Four parks and six groceries keep the everyday grounded, while the Foursquare mix of American, Asian and café spots fills out the plate. It's a neighborhood where the park is the anchor and the dinner table is never far.
