11 Things You Can Only Brag About If You’re From Buffalo
We might be called the Queen City, but Buffalonians are also kings of the humble brag. With our rich history, world renowned architecture, and delicious food, it’s hard not to be proud of where we come from. In case you need more reasons to hype up the 716, here are 11 things you can only brag about if you’re from Buffalo:
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
7 feet of snow in 24 hours? Yeah, we lived through that. Snowvember was a massive storm that completely blanketed us in snow, and guess what? Buffalonians came out victorious. Take that, Mother Nature!
Another snow post - then I promise we'll stop talking about the white stuff. If you lived through the Blizzard of '77, chances are you STILL talk about it to this day. But go ahead and bring up the past. You looked fear in the face and lived to tell the tale. This is one Buffalo brag you totally deserve to tell.
Enough said? We might not have Superbowl rings, but we did make history books with the greatest comeback in NFL history.
Thank you, Anchor Bar! This is a Buffalo brag that we love to boast about, especially when we're out of town. Don't be offended if we criticize your "Buffalo wings." We just know how they're supposed to taste!
Speaking of wings... Buffalo was ranked as the 3rd best food city worldwide by National Geographic in 2015. We don't disagree with the accolades!
43 North is a $5 million startup competition – the best of its kind – and we're fortunate to have it call Buffalo home! Winners of 43 North work to bring Buffalo to the forefront of what a 21st century city should look like.
Speaking of bringing Buffalo to the forefront... the city's recent revitalization is certainly something to write home about! Go ahead and Brag on Buffalo's up-and-coming waterfront, expanded business presence, and booming restaurant scene.
Oh, your bars close at 2AM? That's cute. Buffalo's night scene might seem a bit like overkill, but last call at 4AM is a 716 tradition that we're darn proud of!
Buffalo is world-renowned for our architecture, with buildings crafted by Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and more dotting our city's skylines and neighborhoods.
They don't call us the City of Good Neighbors for nothing! One of our personal favorite things to brag about in Buffalo is the fact that we're welcoming of people from all walks of life. As a refugee resettlement city, we're committed to helping others flourish here!
From lighting the Peace Bridge "Blue for Ben" to organizations like 26 Shirts who donate to hundreds of charitable causes and everything in-between, Buffalo shows compassion to the ill and less fortunate every day. If that's not something to brag about, we don't know what is!
