Things To Do In Buffalo, NY

[@GenX6887]

I just came back from a vacation in the Buffalo/Niagara area. A very nice city and area it indeed is! The Falls were AMAZING! And I really loved the Buffalo River History Tour! And the Naval ships were really cool too! I highly recommend anyone to visit this place!

Originally from Niagara Falls, but live in the Florida panhandle (Pensacola first, now Panama City) since retiring from the Navy in 1988.

Buffalo is a cousin of New York City in the state of New York, and they have Buffalo Bills for NFL, and Buffalo Sabres for NHL. New York City is much bigger than Buffalo and it is on the southeast corner of the state and it border with New Jersey and nearby Connecticut, and Buffalo is located on the northwest of New York which border Ontario in Canada. The distance from New York City to Buffalo is more than 400 miles.

[@chrisbrown3549]

Mark-It-8-Dude no. She is canadian.

[@saxandphone6440]

clean but absolutely baron. I spent 2 hours walking around during the day-time and encountered maybe like 30 people. There are a ton of parking lots and they were all empty. All the bars and restaurants were empty... maybe I am just used to NYC where every place is crowded, no matter where and what time of day, but it still felt like a ghost town to me. When night rolled around I managed to find one area that became pretty lively; not sure what street this was but it's the one with the cable-car, right beside the theater with the huge 'Buffalo' sign. I had parked like 15 minutes by foot away from downtown, as I didn't want to pay $20 for parking. The area I parked in looked really rundown and kind of resembled Detroit or East Chicago. There was trash on the streets and the buildings looked kind of like projects. No one bothered me while I was there, but there was quite a bit of poor people roaming about. Idk if they were homeless or just on welfare, but they looked a bit disconcerting. The number of homeless people is nothing like the number in NYC or San Francisco, but during the day it feels like they are the only people you see.

[@t.g.3500]

Sax and Phone Downtown isn’t where you want to hang in Buffalo as a visitor. As you now know, there’s not much there. The street you’re referring to is Main and that’s pretty dull. You want to visit Allen, Elmwood, and Hertel, which are all north of where you were.

Hello friends how are you I live in buffalo we all know how good in buffalo 💕

[@GIguy]

I’ve lived in Toronto all my life, but have never been to buffalo...now I’ve GOT to check it out!!! It’s so close to us, only 1.5 hours driving (it’s the long wait at the border that takes forever)...any suggestions what I should see first? I love heritage architecture...and Buffalo is full of it, anyone know if there are any tours of their classic buildings?

[@damencurrie4490]

I recommend staying away from Buffalo. It's got pretty architecture, sure... But nobody tells you it reeks of urine and the roads are liable to eat your car with their potholes. Plus, if you take one wrong turn, you may end up in the ghetto. That is no fun. My advice? If you wanna see a historical town that isn't dangerous, check out Lockport, NY or East Aurora, NY. Lockport is about 15 minutes north of Buffalo on the Erie Canal. You can still ride on the canal too, which is quite fun. East Aurora is 15 minutes south of the city and has some awesome architecture as well. I'd recommend the Roycroft Hotel and Millard Fillmore's house. (He was a US President in the mid 1800's.) They are much better options than Buffalo, and in the same general area.

[@MacraeXL]

I'm from Toronto too and it was my first time visiting too. Wouldn't known what's there right now but I'd love to go back!

[@MacraeXL]

There are bad places in every city

[@J0ELLEx]

Born and raised in the suburbs of Buffalo. Wegmans is great. Plenty of theaters and museums to go to, Sheas gets super expensive but there are so many others. 6-7 month winters suck, November-April is the usual. Great selection of higher education programs nearby, never had to worry about having to go away. Very hard to find parking in the city, you’ll end up walking a few blocks. Cost of living is very cheap. Chicken wings and beef on weck are not as life changing as you’d think. If you’re not into sports, the sports fans are exceedingly irritating. All anyone talks about is sports and they do so with great intensity. Overall, the winters are so damn brutal that it is not worth it. We spend half our year digging out cars out of snow banks and it’s absolutely miserable, not to mention the summers get to be mid 90s which is pretty miserable too.
