Thanks to our friends at 13 WHAM ABC for featuring us on the "Good Day & Arc Rochester" morning program to talk about the history of the Rochester Subway and our upcoming events.

The Rochester Subway stopped running 70 years ago, but some ferroequinologists in our area are keeping its memory alive.

GALA AND GRACE: Grace & Disgrace is an intimate classic cocktail bar tucked away at Main and Richmond in Rochester, where Ralph DiTucci has spent the last four years creating expertly crafted cocktails and memorable experiences. For the Rochester Subway Gala on June 21 at the George Eastman Museum, we asked Ralph to create two exclusive signature cocktails for our 1950s-themed evening of cocktails, cinema, and local history.

The "Commuter's Pal" is a rich blend of bourbon, Campari, and dry vermouth, while the "Car 75" combines London Dry gin, lavender simple syrup, lemon juice, and champagne. Along with a selection of non-alcoholic refreshments, these custom cocktails will help set the mid-century mood as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the end of Rochester Subway service and support the restoration of Subway Car 60.

Tickets are available now at RochesterTrainRides.com.
