We’ve done it again! Buffalo has been added to yet another list of accolades, this time coming from The New York Times! We’re joining the ranks of some seriously impressive places. And while it might seem unexpected for the Queen City to be named as one of the best places to go in 2018 in the entire world, we couldn’t agree more.

The New York Times recently listed Buffalo as number 37 on their Top 52 Places To Go In 2018.
