I drove through recently and had researched a bit on food and drinks, or even just interesting places to wander around... and it was all just so.... bland.
Downtown is basically KC's downtown 20+ years ago. They waste much of the waterfront on highways and what not. Tons of chain restaurants, nothing really stuck out as a place with several options for food/drink/entertainment, or any charm/culture at all.
Of all the great places you could settle down in upstate New York or the New England area that are filled with history, great food, etc.... Buffalo isn't even trying. And then add in that it's the worst part of the worst corridor in the country in terms of clouds, rain, and snow.
The best part about it was the airport is really, really easy to get in and out. 5 stars for the airport. I would totally leave there again.
And I'm not just saying that to be snarky in a Bills thread (considering I just compared it to KC 20+ years ago)... I'm sure I could find
some redeeming qualities if I really spent any time there. Other Half Brewing is there and Southern Tier is close by, so that's cool.
