Longtime Rochester steakhouse has a sophisticated new look | Exclusive
A longtime steakhouse in downtown Rochester has a chic new look. Prime 26 is housed within the Inn on Broadway, a stately Georgian Revival building that dates back to 1929. It originally opened in 2005, when it was called Tournedos Restaurant. It was rebranded as Prime 26 last year, when it was given a modest glow-up with new flooring and blue-green walls. Now the renovation is complete. The room centers on an arrangement of large wine-colored banquettes. A pair of eye-catching rose-colored glass chandeliers are a focal point, and the lighting is moody. Ramon Santiago artwork has been replaced by a combination of floral paintings and a vintage-style landscape mural. The restaurant's major point of difference is that it dry-ages its beef and porkchops in house for 30 days. Steaks are cooked in a 1200-degree broiler and served with a choice of six sauces and classic sides. The menu changes seasonally and also features seafood dishes. The new look at Prime 26 is one facet of a major renovation of the building that was originally home to The University Club of Rochester, a fraternal membership organization that filed for bankruptcy in July 1999.

Canandaigua vs. Hilton has makings of an old-school football clash
Fans of old-school football will likely enjoy the Section V Class A crossover. Hilton and Canandaigua both run the ball frequently. Their starting running backs combined for 65 carries and 361 yards in the sectional finals. These teams are not identical. They did, however, take similar paths to the Class A crossover. Both teams looked untouchable for a month. Both stumbled late in the regular season. Both overcame adversity to win a championship. But only one can represent Section V in the state tournament. Here’s a look at how Hilton and Canandaigua got here, and how they might match up Nov. 13 at St. John Fisher University.
