8 Unusual Experiences That Unite Every Buffalonian

There's something about living in the 716 that makes us super sentimental. Maybe it's the good neighbors. Or maybe it's the wings. While there are several things that bind us to Buffalo, there are even more ways we feel connected with our fellow Buffalonians. Whether you still live in the Queen City or have roamed far away, here are 8 unusual experiences that unite every Buffalonian.

1. Watching the Bills end their playoff drought.

Name a happier time in recent Buffalo sports history. We'll wait. Even if you aren't a football fan, all Buffalonians rejoiced when the drought finally ended!

2. Getting stuck on the 90 during a snowstorm.

You know what they say... nothing brings people together like stranding them for hours on a thruway during a blizzard.

3. Riding for Roswell.

Western New Yorkers love charitable events, and the Ride for Roswell is one great way to unite every Buffalonian. Whether you ride, cheer, or donate to this worthy cause, it's one of our favorite events in Buffalo.

4. Feeling the warmth of the sun after a long winter.

The arrival of spring weather gives everyone a chance to get outside. And once we're out, we're ready to mingle and chat with every stranger we pass along the way!

5. Running into people wearing the same Buffalo gear as you.

It usually goes a little something like this:

"Hey, nice shirt!"

"Go Bills!"

6. Braving the Polar Plunge.

What else could unite every Buffalonian than braving bitter cold elements together? The Polar Plunge is another annual tradition that really brings us all together for a worthy cause.

7. Rooting for your favorite food mascot at the Bisons game.

Go celery, go!

8. Waiting in line for free samples at Wegmans.

No shame in our free sample game. Chats in the sample line are one way to unite every Buffalonian. They also help make grocery shopping much more bearable!
