	+ ------ + ''2008-06-28 22:11:52'' [[nbsp]] Just got back from Taste of Rochester, first time I've ever been. I loved it! I got to sample from a lot of different places that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise (some place I never knew existed). Don't dismiss the festival just because Papa John's, Uno's and Dinosaur is there...there are still other places to choose from. And who cares? Maybe someone's never been there... Sure, it was a little crowded for the evening crowd (we went both for lunch and dinner) but the lines moved pretty quick and you can still find a spot where you won't get run over with a double-wide stroller. :D Go, I'm sure you'll have a great time and eat great food. I'm with EastSideStephen - a little overcrowding and maybe we'll find our other favorite LOCAL places on the list next year. --["Users/DianaRodz"]

Adding another street or two and keeping all vendors on one side of the street would help a lot. The prices were perfect. I got the chance to check out Taste of Buffalo last weekend and they had a much better set-up. It was spread over multiple streets and around a large rotary, so despite the crowd, it was much easier to move. Food vendor tents were also spaced out a bit by an occasional radio station or other non-food stand. --["RachelBlumenthal"]
