Is there anything worth doing in the city of Buffalo? I've heard that it has some phenomenal early 20th century architecture, but no one I know has ever been there. I'm a big architecture fan, and I tend to like cities that don't have a lot of attitude and hype, so I've long been intrigued by Buffalo.

Would it be enjoyable to take a weekend there from NYC? Is there any kind of cool, youngish nightlife scene that would be fun/welcoming to outsiders? And how is it in terms of urban blight - are we talking Detroit, or (heaven forbid) Springfield, Mass, or maybe something closer to Milwaukee?

Thanks to all for any advice!
