If You're Visiting from Canada

Many throughout Ontario know Buffalo for its chicken wings, sports and shopping but few realize the city’s art, architecture and cultural attractions stand with some of North America’s finest.

If your mental image of Buffalo is an out-of-date mixture of old Eyewitness News clips and a half-remembered shopping trip to the Walden Galleria, we invite you to experience new Buffalo, a city that is reinventing itself as a sophisticated urban center featuring outstanding restaurants, vibrant performing and visual arts and a nightlife scene that doesn’t stop until 4 a.m.
