The Lyell-Otis Neighborhood

In northwest Rochester, the Lyell-Otis neighborhood is chock full of solid, affordable homes and hospitable neighbors dedicated to the further improvement and vitality of the neighborhood. In both past and present, Lyell-Otis has been home to many of the skilled and loyal workers in Rochester's industries-- workers whose loyalty extends to their neighborhoods and city as well as to the home-grown industries they serve as employees. Accessible to downtown and the expressway system by car and also transit, Lyell-Otis is also a walkable neighborhood proximate to the goods, services, and restaurants (El Taino, considered the best Puerto Rican restaurant in Rochester!) of Lyell Avenue. This neighborhood is especially well endowed with great bakeries, including Petrillo's, Veltre, and Martusciello's! These names reflect Lyell-Otis' strong Italian influence, history, and heritage!
