Buffalo has a decent night life as far as bars and attractions go, but not really different than any other medium sized city. It has plenty of options for food, but a lot of times it's over priced and not made well. You can find good dive bars, or classy restaurants. Just few and far between. The city is absolutely littered with pot holes. The roads and bridges are terrible. Their Buffalo/Niagara city plan went underway, but only for the investors. They're "revitalizing downtown" with mini condos and yuppie apartment complexes that are absolutely over priced. I can pay for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Denver, Colorado that is cheaper than the same deal in downtown Buffalo, New York. I would much rather live in a clean, happy, city like Denver than Buffalo at that budget. They also have waste dumps from the Love Canal companies still being discovered. Basically the whole city could potentially be littered with chemical waste spots from Love Canal companies. I have worked with the Buffalo/Niagara River clean up, and the rivers here are disgusting. The parkway system is nice, but you can tell that some of the them, such as Tift Nature Preserve, are simply old trash dumps that have been buried and revitalized into "parks". It's a city of drinkers so if you're not a night person or if you don't prefer drunk jerks yelling and keeping you up all night during the week, then this is not a city for you. There is a lot of great architecture and history in this city, but that's all it is, History. I would not say this is an up and coming city.

What bar / restaurant has the best Buffalo wings? I'm on the hunt to find the best Buffalo wing. So far, In Buffalo, I've been to: Coles (1104 Elmwood Ave), Anchor Bar (1047 Main St) and Duff's Famous Wings (3090 Orchard Park Rd). It's hard to go wrong at any of these 3, but I think Coles is probably my favorite. The Buffalo wings at Coles are huge and have just the right amount of sauce and are always …
