The Buffalo of today is far different city than that of the past. The city is going through a revitalization, and there are multitudes of reasons to love this city. Here are just a few:
1. The Waterfront
I actually just began exploring the waterfront recently, but it is so amazing how the city has revitalized its waterfront. With more and more people pushing for more development of the waterfront, it will be interesting to see where it goes.
2.) Downtown- New clubs, bars, shops, restaurants. All of these things make any city popular, and the influx of these businesses to Buffalo has really made Downtown a popular spot.
3.) The Bills- After years of struggles, it only seems right that the Bills are on the rise with the city itself. While it will still take time, the Bills are showing great promise.
4.) The Sabres- A similar story to the Bills, the Sabres have a lot of young talent, and they are showing that they are also a team on the rise. It will be exciting to watch the Bills and Sabres develop over the next few years.
5.) Elmwood- Elmwood is another area of the city that has brought in more businesses, especially businesses that cater to the local college student population. Whether your looking for shopping, eating, or bars, Elmwood is definitely the place to be.
6.) The Location- Buffalo's location is one of the best. 30 minutes to Niagara Falls, a few hours away from Toronto or Cleveland, and with Canada to explore just over the river, the area around Buffalo offers just as much as the city itself does.
7.) The Food- This is by far one of my favorites. Buffalo wings, amazing restaurants, food trucks. It all adds up into an amazing food heaven to be bravely explored out there in the city.
The city of Buffalo itself is experiencing a desperately needed revitalization. It is fascinating to watch and participate in, and for those of us who call this city home, the new and improved Buffalo is easy to love.
