East Avenue runs from Rochester's city center, southeast out of the city, and after a bend ends up at Nazareth College. It is also considered a border between the Park Avenue area and the nearby Neighborhood of the Arts. The area from Probert Street (near the Wegmans) to Alexander Street is a historic district famous for its stately mansions, some of which are still private homes, along with several upscale apartment buildings built in the 1950s-60s. Although this section is suburban in character, East Avenue becomes distinctly urban after it crosses Alexander Street and heads Downtown. A variety of independent shops, restaurants, and other small businesses line the streets.

A fantastic photo tour of Rochester East Side homes and buildings was available at
SkyScraperCity.com. Unfortunately, the website that hosted these photos is gone, but in the discussion links at the bottom there are zenfolio links posted by two photographers who have a lot of photos of Rochester, Buffalo and more in their viewable portfolios. As of April 2010.
East Avenue as Route 96
NY State Route 96, like East Avenue, begins at East Main Street in the city and follows East Avenue until it enters Pittsford as Main Street just past Nazareth College.
As it exits the city at the Brighton town line, NY 96 passes through the Can of Worms, connects with the western terminus of Route 441 and Elmwood Avenue near I490. The road parallels I490 and branches at a Y intersection with Fairport Road (Route 31F) before it heads into Pittsford.
See Route 96 for details and information beyond East Avenue.
