Geneva (New York)

Geneva is the name of both a town and a city in Ontario County, in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The City of Geneva is surrounded by the Town of Geneva.

Get around
You'll need a car to get around the city, unless you only want to see downtown and the historical district. You can do that by foot.

Eat
The quality of food is rising in Geneva, but can still often be disappointing from a Continental or Big-City point of view. Fast food can mostly be found downtown. Nearly every variety is available, but you'll probably need a car to get there (see "transportation" section). Geneva also has some excellent pizza joints; if you don't get any pizza while you're in Geneva....well, you've wasted a trip, haven't you? Other options range from greasy spoon diners to the poorly prepared, over priced with ambiance that will demand your firstborn child as payment, and there are some places in between that are just fine, and to the locals, some of these places are classic.



Drink
Downtown Geneva is littered with local hangouts, some more holey-in-the-wall than others. This is part of the upstate charm. Note: all of these places also serve food. There are also straight up "bars", but these may be better left to the townies.
