Bahamian Bill Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hi devoted Bills fan from the Bahamas. My girlfriend decided to give me the ultimate birthday gift with tickets to a Bills game. We will be arriving in Buffalo on Friday to watch us take on the Ravens. Seeing that it is both of our first time we are looking for the ultimate Buffalo experience. We want to take in the sights and sounds of the town and we will be going to Grover's to take on the burgers. Maybe we can hook up with some natives. Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Things you will want to check out if first time to area: Â Pre-Game Day: Niagara Falls (obvious); Duff's wings in Amherst; Chippewa Street Downtown; and I've never been but I hear the art museum is actually quite nice. Â Gameday: arrive at stadium early. You will want to dress in layers, as it will be cold, esp. for you in the AM, and then get warmer during the day. If you are staying over-night Sunday, park in one of the good tailgate lots and take in all the pre-game festivities. Walk around the Stadium lots, go to the Clubhouse, see it all! Then, lose your voice cheering at the game. And stay the whole time, I only make a few games a year and seeing the game live is much better than on TV. Enjoy it. It really is the best game-day atmosphere in the NFL (or very close to it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamian Bill Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 @Rafter- It's my first time for both. Â Thanks Ryan for the info. Heard about the bruiser at Grover's so that's first priority and I heard about Anchor bar as well. She planned for us to go on a Niagara Falls tour on Monday. Trust me I'm excited like a kid in a candy store!!! Where can I get good Bills apparel from? All I have now is a hat so we need some stuff to wear to the game. Â bmur66 I'm from Nassau my name is Trevere actually not Bill. Â Thanks guys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Welcome to to Western NY when you get here Trevere. The leaves are changing colors and the weather should be nice. I love the Bahamas and go there every chance I get. Hit up a Dicks Sporting Goods and get all the Bills stuff you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Elmwood is a much safer bet unless he's 19, has a fake ID, goes to Community College, has a chinstrap beard, wears an Italian horn necklace, a leather jacket and is looking for a fight.

Bahamian Bill Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 We get in on Friday are you a native. In NY right now the weather was a shocker when we arrived seeing that it was in the 90s when we left home. Maybe next time when you decide to come to town you can hit me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I am a native. About an hour and 20 mins away from the Stadium. We consider 70's to be nice around here this time of year. Thats probably cold for you. You won't find any Kalik's around here either. I go to a relatives place in Eluethera. Usually have a layover in Nassau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually have a layover in Nassau  I spent a week on Eleuthera in August, it was amazing. Kaliks and conche salad. I guess the Buffalo equivalent would be Labatts and chicken wings.

NyQuil Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I second the layers especially if you are used to 90 degree weather. Â http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail3/USNY1071 Â I can wear shorts at 53 and be fine, other people, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamian Bill Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I see you'll now what you'll are talking about. Kalik and Conch Salad is a hit. We call that the Barefoot Bandit Special. Are you guys familiar with him? The guy who the feds was after that some natives found in the Bahamas.

Â One of you guys that lives in WNY needs to tell him where to go to have good beef on weck. You can't get a good one of those outside of WNY.

Mark Vader Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 On game day you have to go to Hammer's Lot and take part in Kenny Johnson's (Pinto Ron) tailgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamian Bill Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yes I heard about the famous Pinto. Really looking forward to the experience. I went to a Bills game in Miami before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NY right now the weather was a shocker when we arrived seeing that it was in the 90s when we left home. Maybe next time when you decide to come to town you can hit me up  The weather here is beautiful right now. This is about as nice as it gets for this time of year. Low 70's light wind, partly sunny skies. The weather should be great for the game too. Highs in the low 70's but it will be cool in the morning, probably in the 50's but it will be perfect for cracking that first beer at 7 in the morning. BTW, if you think it is cold here now, you should come in January. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
