If you're a jazz aficionado coming to Rochester for the jazz festival, there are plenty of hotel, travel, and dining options for you to choose from. Visit Rochester -- formerly known as the Greater Rochester Visitors Association -- is a good resource for finding the best places to stay, eat, and how to get there.

If you're hungry, City Newspaper's online restaurant guide features searchable listings of nearly 1000 area restaurants, many of them downtown, where the jazz festival takes place. Select by cuisine type, neighborhood, price range, amenities and more.
