Downtown Buffalo, New York

Buffalo was recently named as one of "The 44 Places To Go" by The New York Times.

Famous for its "Buffalo Wings," the city is located in Western New York, on the Eastern shores of Lake Erie. Buffalo is also known for its architecture, arts and culture, fun nightlife, shopping, and summer waterfront concerts.

The world-famous Niagara Falls is located approximately 20 miles north of Buffalo. And if you like wine-tasting, you won't want to miss visiting NY wineries dotted along the nearby Niagara Wine Trail — both attractions make a fun day trip or weekend getaway :)
