"The Hipster Area of Rochester"

This is definitely the hipster area of Rochester, with bars like The Old Toad which cater to young people. Alexander Street also crosses Monroe Ave, Park Ave, East Ave, and University Ave, so it's connected to many of the major streets in the city. I don't think it's a great street for older people, or families, but for young people who want to be close to the nightlife, it's a good choice.
