Sadly, I've lived in Buffalo over 40 years and I've only been to a few of those places. By the way, I do recommend the Forest Lawn Cemetery tour. It is fabulous.

Darwin Martin House now fully restored including landscaping. Just treated out-of-town friends to the tour. They loved it.

Thanks for the recommendations. I did not have a chance to visit these sites: Buffalo was a quick stop-over on my way to Connecticut (I visited Niagara Falls and drove by the SUNY campus).

[Jesus-dowl]

I plan on visiting this Fall and watch a Bills game, go to Niagara Falls, eat some authentic Buffalo Wings, Beef on Weck, Buffalo Style Pizza! I plan to make a whole trip of my stay there!

You forgot Kleinhan's Music Hall, a Saarinen-designed National Historic Landmark? Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra? Forget including close in suburbs, too... Niagara Falls, East Aurora, Amherst, Orchard Park...

Hi! I live in Sweden and I have become to love Buffalo, NY, very much. I want to move there and start a new life. I am a christian Lutheran and sing a lot in church

[corey]

Not wanting to sound rude but genuinely curious, is there any way to clean/restore that city hall building?

It's such a cool looking building, but every time I see it in fly-by's (usually on nationally televised football games), it looks a bit beat up/dirty/weathered down. I know it's very old, but it's such a beautiful & unique piece of architecture, it should really be treated like the beauty it is.

I'm from Texas, so feel free to put me in my place if I'm ignorant to something (like perhaps there's no way of restoring it or making it look more clean).

At 1:50 you meant to say Pan American Exposition not expedition.

Amy's, Parkside Candies, Anchor Bar, Duff's Gramma Mora's, Mulligan's Brick Bar...
