Things To Do
Britesmith Brewing
Our favorite local place to walk to for a burger and a beer. We recommend the lobster pizza, the double smash burger, and the garlic parm fries!
Trattoria Aroma
We went here for our anniversary last year. Some of the best pasta dishes we've ever had!
Neat
Another local place for some bites in a cozy, unique atmosphere. We celebrated here on the date of our wedding last year!
Paula's Donuts
IYKYK. The BEST donuts in the entire world. There are multiple locations, but this one is the closest to the venue.
Sweet Jenny's Chocolates & Ice Cream
Okay, we know that November isn't the typical month to go get ice cream, but we love walking here for ice cream in the summer. They even have pup cups for Emmy!
Buffalo AKG Art Museum
Newly remodeled and home to some amazing art. The Knox Building is always free and accessible to the public during museum operating hours. This is in Buffalo itself (so not super close to the venue) but definitely a must-see if you're sticking around in town for more than one day!
Pearl Street Grill & Brewery
This is in downtown Buffalo, so another recommendation for filling your extra days in the area, but it's a local favorite restaurant and Buffalo's one-line metro runs nearby.
Niagara Falls
I always forget that people who don't grow up in western NY aren't used to having the falls so close by! My recommendation if you don't have a ton of time to cross the border? Park on the USA side. It's definitely not the better side for the view, but it's still worth it!
