Where to eat in Buffalo: A resident’s guide to the best places to eat in Buffalo NY

by 7 Comments

Last Updated on

I spent a couple of years living in the Queen City (Buffalo, NY).  A lot of people aren’t impressed by Buffalo at first and that’s because Buffalo is the kind of city that you need to take the time to explore by car.  Sometimes you feel like a detective standing in a strip-mall parking asking yourself if this really the amazing donut shop that you heard about.

That’s the thing: Buffalo is about the people and the food. You need to talk to locals about where to eat in Buffalo as the food is spread out all over the city and luckily, I have some friends who have been keen to introduce me to the best places to eat in Buffalo, New York.

This is not so much a guide to “fancy” restaurants or the newest restaurants, but a guide to the classic food in Buffalo that you’ll want to try along with some affordable yet delicious restaurants in Buffalo. I promise that there’s some vegetarian options here. Map at the bottom. 🙂

Why you should visit Eastern Kentucky

Last Updated on

Travel is not just about going somewhere new, but also coming back to somewhere familiar.  I’m an unlikely proponent of visiting Eastern Kentucky as someone who was born and raised in New York City and who had never set foot in Kentucky until I met Jacob.  However, Jacob helped me find the charm of this oft-forgotten region of the United States even if he doesn’t always see it himself.
