  1. Well, now you've poked the bear. Let's see what I can remember off the top of my head... I stayed at 36 Laurel Street for my honeymoon. On another trip, my wife and I stayed in a house at the end of a cul-de-sac near Depew but I can't remember the address. I've stayed at Salvatore's Garden Place (a steamy weekend with an ex-lover), Staybridge Suites, Adam's Mark when it used to be Adam's Mark, and probably a dozen other hotels or Airbnbs in the south towns. Oh, and the Holiday Inn Express by the airport has good bacon. I've toured UB, walked around Delaware Park, know the Walden Galleria inside and out, walked the length of Bird Island Pier, sailed at sunset on the waterfront, enjoyed a show at Buffalo Iron Works, attended a craft show at Buffalo RiverWorks, loved Mulberry many times, toured the Martin house, been to Niagara Falls 12 times, prefer the West Ferry Street La Nova to the other one, am a Wingnutz fan, have been to Duff's in Depew so many times I can smell the bathroom right now, think Dave & Adam's kind of sucks, have tried beef on weck at Charlie the Butcher, Schwabl's, Duff's, and many other places I can't remember right now, prefer Bagel Jay's to Public Espresso, love Wegmans' chunky guacamole, and know that Mardee's in Clarence has a hell of a cinnamon roll. And I almost forgot. I got a tattoo on Elmwood and I think the Jim's SteakOut in Allentown rocks.
  2. Very interesting. I went to Schwabl's as my final attempt to understand the beef on weck thing, and it was one of the worst ones I've ever had. Cold, flavorless. Maybe it was a bad day.
  3. No one's going to be surprised to hear this from me, but it's not. It's not even as good as a French dip from Arby's. Every time I take a new person to Buffalo and they excitedly try the beef on weck, they're always disappointed because it's not anything special. There's a reason it hasn't left the Buffalo area. And before anyone says "You haven't had a proper one! You need to get one at X place!" -- I've tried ALL the top famous places and some lesser-known places.
  4. I'll be back. I love Buffalo because of the Bills, and I find the inferiority complex/pride of Buffalonians endearing. I'm 33 and an old soul. Maybe I'm missing something. Can someone share what makes Buffalo special or a nicer city than any other?
  5. I don't begrudge you for being proud of your city. I get it. But if the league started from scratch and picked locations to have NFL teams based on the quality and size of the city, Buffalo would have no chance. That's just the reality. The Falls are the only thing that make it a place any random person might want to visit. I'm from one of the most economically depressed metros in the entire United States, and Buffalo feels just like it. To answer your question though, I've been to the city countless times and stayed in it on multiple occasions just to explore and find what it has to offer. My conclusion is that there's nothing special to be found and it really is a pretty depressing place. I'd rather stay in the surrounding areas that are nicer and ignore the city, because the city is pretty embarrassing as far as cities go. I do know what I'm talking about. Have you ever seen those "Mark each thing you've done in Buffalo" things on social media? I score higher than some locals on that stuff. I've made a conscious effort to get around.
  6. I'm not from there, but I've spent weeks there recently I have, many times and for extended periods. I'm very familiar with the city and the surrounding areas. Locals don't want to hear it, but there's nothing special about Buffalo. It's a very dirty, dilapidated, small, hurting city
  7. It's almost like there is no city. It's just a bunch of downtrodden streets and there is no walkable downtown where people go. There is no nice area, save for the small area around the hockey arena and waterfront.
  8. It's not just winter... Buffalo is not a nice city. Some people don't like to admit it, but I struggle to think of another NFL city that is in worse shape.
  9. Honestly, he's said a lot of stuff like this and I feel like it would be good to stop.
  10. No, it's not legal. You don't want to share because it's not legal as you claim.
  11. There is really nothing more to do in Buffalo than anywhere else in the country. Nobody wants to hear it, but there's nothing special except for the Bills and Niagara Falls.
  12. Dave & Adam's has a good amount of memorabilia, as do stores in the Walden Galleria.
  13. *59 years old You are getting this mixed up with hyphenation when modifying a noun (for example, "a 59-year-old man")
  14. I do, because there is nothing in there about what individuals can do. Imagine if they gave regular tours to just any individual or couple regularly. They'd be inundated. Lol. This is just an excuse. There are no covid restrictions anymore.
  15. I think it's more likely that he's here to take over if Dorsey is amazing and gets a head coach job quickly.
  16. Everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that stadium tours are only for groups of 30 or more.
  17. Just on the bill
  18. Looks like even though it's the final year for Sunday Ticket on DirecTV, DirecTV is still going to be giving it away for free. Praise!
  19. Bad, cowardly, pathetic arguments: Yeah but our mental health is worse in this country Yeah but they'll just use knives and bombs Yeah but bad people will do bad things Yeah but the 2nd amendment
  20. What exactly do these guys want to do that they can't do in Buffalo?
  21. Was there something to this in the past? Sure. But I think Josh has earned us shutting up about it for now. Josh said this offseason (I can't remember what show it was on) that he "absolutely hates" playing in the weather. That's obviously a factor. But I think the "over excited," "nerves" stuff has been put to bed with his play late last year. He turned a corner.
  22. Careful, apparently you're a racist if you say someone is well spoken
