The Cove

This is one treasure that is meant to be sought after and found, not hidden. Tucked quietly between two creative businesses (Cafe Steam at 315 S Broadway and Art Heads Emporium at 317 S Broadway) is an imaginative haven all its own. With a common vision for an exciting space filled with art, light, and an increased sense of safety through activation, the Rochester Downtown Alliance, Art Heads Emporium, and Cafe Steam created a space lovingly called “The Cove” in 2018. Since then, it has been a space locals and visitors take photos, spend time, and appreciate art.
