Taste of Buffalo is amazing. Vendors of all the restaurants in Buffalo together, downtown, between ‘the chip strip’ and City Hall. They are set up with their best menu items and with tickets you buy things and eat your way through downtown Buffalo. It’s a great way to get people out and appreciating the city.

Downtown Buffalo makes me sad. It is everything Albany would be if it weren’t the capital of New York: cities that were booming during industrial periods that have since been decimated. Vacant streets and little business. Abandoned store-fronts and ‘historic’ landmarks that are falling down but too precious to demolish.

I’m really starting to like the city of Buffalo. It has a lot to offer a younger crowd and downtown is actually really [architecturally] beautiful. If I were to have gone to school here I would have had a great time. The people of Buffalo are as nice as those of the mid-west (I assume, based on stereotypes, having never been there). Buffalo has an arts scene and great coffee. Bars and restaurants are open late and real estate prices are low. Everyone should pack their bags, become Bills and Sabres fans, and move to Buffalo.

Good chicken wings and lake-effect snow. What more could you want?
