Why we should preserve our lake heritage

There was a time when going to the lake was simply what Rochesterians did. On warm summer afternoons, families packed their cars and headed north toward Charlotte. Children ran barefoot through the sand. Parents unfolded lawn chairs, unpacked picnic baskets, and opened those unmistakable yellow Kodak coolers. The smell of sunscreen mixed with the breeze coming off Lake Ontario. The carousel turned, the waves rolled in, and for a few hours, the concerns of everyday life seemed a little farther away. You didn’t need much money. You didn’t need a reservation. You just needed a beautiful afternoon and somewhere to spread a blanket. The lake belonged to everyone.

Micro-bakery for Japanese milk breads opens downtown storefront | Exclusive

When Bryson Embernate launched Maishokupan in August , he was baking his soft Japanese breads out of The Commissary, a shared kitchen space in Sibley Square downtown. Each noon, he'd roll out a small cart of his loaves and sandos and sell them for half-hour, unless he sold out sooner. Just a few months later, he's launched his own storefront, but he hasn't gone far. Maishokupan is now up and running in Sibley Square's food hall called Mercantile on Main. The soft opening, which began in late October, has brought lines of people when he opens his front door each noon. The first hour is usually hectic, he said, and the cooler, filled with neat rows of sandwiches and bread creations, empties rapidly. "I'm so grateful," he said, saying the business has ramped up much more quickly than he originally anticipated. What's on the menu at Maishukopan Maishokupan bakes Japanese milk breads called shokupan, giving them sweet and savory twists. Embernate launches a new seasonal menu each month, which he posts in advance on Instagram. Each day of the week brings a different lineup, which repeats weekly throughout the month. The menu includes: ∎ Cube-shaped loaves that range from classic
