Visiting Buffalo, NY


Despite the name, you won't find any roaming herds here. This is a revitalised, booming city rich in history, music, art, architecture, scenic beauty, distinctive ethnic neighbourhoods and friendly people. In fact, you'll discover a surprisingly small-town atmosphere in this second-largest city in New York State, dubbed "the biggest small town in America". Often associated with Niagara Falls or major league sports, the city offers a great deal more than that for weekend visitors.

This is a revitalised, booming city rich in history, music, art, architecture, scenic beauty, distinctive ethnic neighbourhoods and friendly people. In fact, you'll discover a surprisingly small-town atmosphere in this second-largest city in New York State, dubbed "the biggest small town in America". Often associated with Niagara Falls or major league sports, the city offers a great deal more than that for weekend visitors. Architectural gems include Victorian mansions, Frank Lloyd Wright designs and the Art Deco City Hall, whose 28th-floor observatory offers spectacular views. If you like nature, grab your hiking boots and head out to the Tifft Nature Preserve. For a tamer time, take in the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, with its Victorian-style greenhouse, or the Zoological Gardens, with its popular gorilla rainforest and, yes, buffalo. Don't leave without munching on Buffalo chicken wings (which really did originate here) and 'sponge candy', a local confection that's light and crunchy inside and coated in chocolate. « less

I've been to Wasabi (on Elmwood) about five times now and each time the service has been poor. While the quality of food is alright, the servers do their best to make you feel unwanted. Orders are...more
