I visited the observation deck of the Buffalo City Hall and Guaranty Building, and rather enjoyed the respective lobbies and elevators. Certainly worth at least a day for the downtown, a visit to the Falls, and if you're interested in Buffalo's edible legacy, buffalo wings or a beef on weck (caraway seed roll) at the Anchor Bar.

Why Buffalo (Yes, That Buffalo) Is America's Most Underrated City to Spend a Weekend

Is there anything worth doing in the city of Buffalo?
In a time when every American city starts to seem the same, when Dallas looks like Tampa looks like Charlotte looks like Phoenix, Buffalo feels solidly like Buffalo, New York. It doesn’t have glass towers, but it’s rich in grain silos. You won’t find many Starbucks, but every block has a corner tavern. Nobody’s using the word “craft” to justify $17 drinks, but bars are open until 4am. The people are real, the food is great, and they’ve repurposed beautiful relics without a hint of pretension. You will party harder, eat better, and make more new friends in a weekend, all for less money, than anywhere else in America. |
Some friends of mine from University posted about a new interesting space called The Rowhouse Bakery & Restaurant. Opened a few months ago but looks rather good.

I was born and raised in Buffalo----things have changes over the last few years.
the real estate park is jumping really fast. My dad went into a nursing home last year so we had to go through selling the house we grew up in. For the longest time the price was generally around $65K-$80K over the last 30 years (even during the mid 2000s housing boom). When we sold the house it went to a dlipper who did some repair work (which we knew it needed) and it was posted for over &100K. This a house built over 40 years ago. in downtown area and around there ----there are new restaurants opening and new places to see. old tourist guides aren't going to be up to date. Buffalo still has its historic architecture designed by the greats of the late 1800s/early 1900s. |
