Dumb or Safe? More Rochester Businesses Have “Mask Required” Signs Up

"Masks Required" Signs Starting to Show Up in Rochester Again

Note to self: always have a mask with you.  I happened to be running a few errands the other day and I didn't even put a coat on, just wore a hoodie as a coat like all of the high schoolers do in the butt cold of winter.  Unfortunately, my masks are in my coat pocket and as I walked up to the door of People's Food Coop I saw that masks were required and I felt like a fool.

Next day, I popped into Potbelly's in downtown Rochester to grab some food for lunch and thankfully, I wore a coat this time with my masks in the pocket because they've got a sign up asking for masks as well.

5 Ghost Kitchens in Rochester that are no longer a secret

As the COVID numbers continue to climb, I'm thinking about what foods I need to start stockpiling just in case my family gets hit with the virus.  But, I know, if I need it, I can always order food in a pinch and have it delivered to my front door thanks to DoorDash.  If you haven't heard, Rochester has quite a few ghost kitchens that have popped up, including a new one that opened on January 12th.  Next time you need food delivered, maybe try one of these ghost kitchens!
