Another Fan Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Cleveland does a little. Friendly people overall and near a Great Lake. The other non obvious place for me is Plainfield, NJ. It has some good wing places around the city. Plus in NJ it’s one of the best cities for value for your money in terms of small restaurants imo. Buffalo always had real good food and I think is still underrated there in general. That and the Sleepy Hollow part of the city. There’s older bigger homes there with huge trees. It reminds me a little of the part of Buffalo by the Darwin Martin house. And ironically it’s nicknamed the Queen City as well.

BillsPride12 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Milwaukee feels very similar to Buffalo in my opinion. Food is nowhere close though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Other than the other upstate places like Syracuse and Rochester, Id say Hartford is reminded me a bit of Buffalo. Just the look and size. Cleveland is a good comparison. I always describe Cleveland as "Buffalo on steroids". I have lived a few different places, and Id say South Jersey was the most at home I felt other than Buffalo.

I see they have a big 90's Con there now and I'm kinda interested in checking it out but not sure a trip based on that alone would be worth it. I know New Haven is pretty close by so would probably stop there for a Day and do a little Pizza tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to hockey or baseball games is fine but there isn't much else happening downtown. A little advice about getting pizza in New Haven. If you don't place an order in the morning or day before at one of the famous places (Frank Pepe, Sally's, Modern, Zuppardi) you're not getting pizza. They are that busy now.

Wacka Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Not much in Hartford. Lived in Bristol for 2 years. Literally a quarter mile away from ESPN HQ. Went to the street and looked over and could see the satellite dishes. Was only in Hartford for a Whalers game (when I went to interview for my job) and to see the Sabres vs Whalers. Got to sit 2 rows behind the Sabres bench because there was a snowstorm. Went to see the USS Nautilus in New London and Mystic Seaport. Basketball HOF is only 30-40 miles north in Springfield, MA.

Pete Posted Tuesday at 09:20 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:20 AM Hartford is not a nice town. It has a nice section around the capital, and there is the bar district there with clubs. That’s what most people see when they visit Hartford. It’s a very rough city besides that. Stay out of the north end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted Tuesday at 07:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:24 PM Baltimore a little bit. Ethnic neighborhoods, good local taverns, a food that identifies the city (wings/crabs), a feeling of inferiority toward another city (NYC/Washington, DC).

I lived in Baltimore in the 80s and would agree. Philadelphia is a huge city but gives off a Buffalo vibe. Buffalo is an odd city to classify. Is it East Coast or Midwest? I also lived in Charleston WV and that city lands between the East Coast, Midwest and South. It's all but also none. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
