11 Things That Sum Up Buffalo Perfectly
It’s true that Buffalonians cannot be defined. Material objects, food items, and unique characteristics, however, definitely play into how we define our city. From weird to wonderful and everything in-between, here are 11 things that sum up Buffalo perfectly.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
Weird or unique? You can be the judge. Much like Buffalo itself, Shark Girl leaves many people scratching their heads in wonder (and wanting to come back for more)!
While he wasn't originally from Buffalo, Frank Lloyd Wright chose the Queen City as the home to several of his most famous architectural works. His buildings are some of the many reasons the 716 is noted so highly for architectural greatness!
When you look up "lake effect snow" in the dictionary, Buffalo comes up. Okay not really, but you get the point. Our city is known for getting pummeled with walls of the white stuff off Lake Erie. Buffalonians are both proud and extremely disgruntled for it.
Our nickname says it all: we're just nice people. The strong sense of community brings us all together and we're bound by our love for the city.
Our tailgating is top notch, and the Bills Mafia grows by the day here in Buffalo!
If there's one thing that sums up Buffalo, it's that we'll take just about any excuse for a celebration!
You didn't think we could get through this entire list without mentioning food, did you? Buffalonians love Buffalo-style everything, and Frank's RedHot is the only way to get the authentic taste!
If a giant 6-pack of Labatt Blue doesn't scream "Buffalo," we're not sure what does! It's certainly hard to miss!
NYC might be called the city that never sleeps, but Buffalonians give them a run for their money! Our 4 a.m. last call sums up Buffalo in the best way. We know how to have a good time here!
Remember when we said we'll take any excuse to celebrate? We meant it! If you don't believe that Buffalonians take celebrations to the extreme, mark your calendar for the Dyngus Day parade.
Bet you thought we would save wings for last, didn't you? While we do usually prefer poultry, nothing sums up Buffalo and Buffalonians' affinity for food quite like the beef on weck!
