Sherlock?  Maybe if you knew what you were talking about, you'd see the humor - hence, the OPs laughing emoji.

 

For those of a certain age , it was a popular strip joint in Fort Erie. I put a few strippers through college I think.

I didn’t get it either. But now that you’ve mentioned a strip club, did McCoy and his friends ever get into a fight with off duty O.P.P.s there?

Spend the xtra piastre and upgrade to the king jacuzzi suite.... It worked for @Gugny. 😏 

 

But... Anyway,  I'd still heed the Mann Act if strolling over interstate border! A king jacuzzi is the epitome of "debauchery"... 😏

Did you really just recommend a Canadian hotel?

 

Have you been paying no attention to current events over the past 1 1/2 years?

Interesting recommendations so far, I'm not surprised...

The border I thought was open for vaxxed Americans.  ??

Sure is. I've been twice in September. The only issue is getting a Covid Test from Walgreens where I don't have to pay upwards of $150 and hope insurance reimburses me.

You still need a test even being vaxxed?

 

 

Yep. You have to jump through a few hoops. 

1 - Need a negative Covid test no more than 72 hours before entry. Has to be a Rapid test only. 

2 - Have to register on the ArriveCAN app. That includes an address where you would be quarantining if needed, although you say you have no where to quarantine. An address is still required. I have used restaurant addresses both times I've entered.

3 - Although you take a picture of your vaccination card, you still need it at the border, because according to some border patrol agents, "cards can be forged". One time the border officer saw the picture and had no issues. The other time the officer wanted to see the actual card. My wife and I presented our Excelsior Pass, and to him that wasn't good enough. Needed the actual card. 

4 - Even with all this, you still may be pulled over on a random basis for another Covid test. That hasn't happened to me thus far but the possibility exists. 

 

I wonder what the border officer will say when I go in the next couple of weeks and my destination will be the Duty Free for Alexander Keiths...

I'm making the leap if you're taking you're fian'ce it is a fun, and kinda romantic weekend, not a drink fest.  You're best off downtown at one of the nicer places as you can find nice places to eat.  You'll eat enough pizza, mighties, and so on game day.

 

Have fun with you're special girl.  she'll see what great people are like from Buffalo.  Live away from there for years, and you really appreciate Buffalo people.

Thank you all!  I ultimately decided on an AirBnB in the Columbus district downtown. It says that a bunch of restaurants and bars are within walking distance.  Great reviews. 

 

If you were going to go the AirBnB route I would have voted Elmwood. Really cute and walkable. Your gf probably would have loved it.

I’ve lived in Buffalo my entire life and have never heard of a Columbus district.

I like the Hampton Inn on Main Street in Williamsville.  great neighborhood, plenty of parking. and walking distance to great restaurants and a fantastic brewery.  

Hampton Inns are part of the Hilton chain and they now have a double Hilton Points promotion. You can even spend $20 or so more per night and get triple points. It sounds flimsy but this summer I got 4 free nights in North Carolina using Hilton Points.
