Here's where Rochester thinks Julia Roberts should eat when she visits
Marcia GreenwoodOn Thursday, we posted a story asking where Julia Roberts should go for lunch or dinner when she’s in town May 1 and 2 to accept the George Eastman Award and introduce a film at the Dryden Theatre.
We expected to get some answers. Instead, we got hundreds, sent by email and posted to Facebook and Twitter.
Besides “my house,” here are the 32 — yes, 32 — places that were suggested most often, with Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and Nick Tahou Hots leading the way.
