Explore Buffalo-American Architecture Tour with docent Kevin Bennett…read more Absolutely great. The tour is packed with interesting and unknown facts for every building. We are very fortunate to have such great architecture in our city. Our docent was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Kevin wanted to share his knowledge with you and answer any questions you would have. A great experience! Thank you!

We had a group of 6 do the Allentown Mob tour. Our wonderful docent was Kathy…read more The tour started outside of Cafe 59 and it was easy to spot Kathy and she was very friendly. It's a 2 hour walking tour, and you'll stop at various buildings to learn about the who, what, when's of what went down there. For example, you will stop at a building and hear about how organized crime controlled laborers local 210. You will see where certain made men were gunned down. Explore Buffalo is a nonprofit run by volunteers; be kind and leave a tip if you enjoyed your tour! I look forward to going on another tour with Explore Buffalo and learning more about our great city!

The prices are reasonable and the gals who were running it Sunday morning were very nice and vey helpful to some of our elderly friends getting in and out of the kayaks. We only did an hour because some of our group are inexperienced at this sport. It was fun and the water was calm. It was really cool seeing parts of the outer harbor from a different perspective. I'll be back for sure to do a longer trip!

This place is THE BEST place to rent kayaks/canoes on the Erie Canal. It is perfectly located…read moreright by the chute entrance into the canal, making it so simple to rent and be in the water in seconds. The chute entrance into the canal is suited for anyone - but especially useful for elders or those with mobility issues. But the best part of Erie Canal Boat Company in Fairport is the owner Pete. He wants everyone to love boating and get the best experience possible. First he has and knows everything about the equipment and will get you perfectly situated for what you need to have an amazing time out on the water. What really shines is his personality though... Pete is a giver and is generous with his time, expertise and enthusiasm for paddling. He not only runs the shop, but helps get you in and out of the boat and safely in and out of the canal. He loves what he does and he loves helping you get out and enjoying the canal. His enthusiasm is contagious. He is simply THE BEST!!! We had the best time this morning and can't wait to spend many days this summer out on the water with Pete's help. Just be brave and go. It's the most wonderful feeling!

We rented a tandem kayak from 5pm to 7pm (we finished up at about 6:20 because it started raining)…read more The water was not crowded at all; there were two boats that passed by us. The water was clean in some parts and not in others. There were a few large branches we had to avoid. We got a quick good lesson on kayaking before we went into the water; it was very helpful. Our kayaking journey was absolutely beautiful. We passed a whole lot of ducks. They really kept us entertained. We passed a cute park, went through some gorgeous neighborhoods. Overall, there were a lot of trees on the shore by the canal so it felt very serene. I would recommend kayaking here! :)

Came in on a Saturday. I think for it being my first drink of the day. It was a fine place. I don't…read morethink I would be here any later in the day. There was a couple of odd states thrown our way when we first arrived. Not sure they expected us to show up when the demographics was older, white, and clearly in love with the cover band which was playing the Beatles. The bartenders however, were phenomenal. They seemed to be enjoying themselves which always makes the experience better. The inside has seating for I imagine 100. There are picnic benches all over plus some of them have small table games to play. There are a few benches outside in the front and then when you get to the back there are more plus other games and an overall nice area to chill in. Parking is abundant and there are so many side streets where you'll always find a spot.

This is absolutely my favorite brewery in Buffalo and I don't even drink beer! The owner, Tim,…read morepours a mean hard cider for this gluten free gal, however. Everyone who works here is friendly, accommodating, and a lover of good beer. They brew their own and, according to everyone I know who's been here, it's almost always delicious. They don't serve food apart from chips, so it's not a gastro pub by any means. However, if it's good drink, good entertainment, and good company you're looking for, you've come to not only the right place, but the best place. They get so many good bands and comedians here! The last time I went, I saw my favorite stand up comic. The atmosphere is cheerful but not rowdy. So if you're the type of person who loves to meet new, fun people who love and consume beer, come to Flying Bison. Not only will you have a great time, you'll also have a good brew to settle down with. Also, they allow dogs. What's not to love?

I recently went on these boats as part of a team building afternoon with my company. I will admit,…read morethe reason I did not try this sooner was because of the expense, and the inability to fill a boat with friends who want to pedal away and hang out on the water! We went out on a gray day, and we knew the rain was coming, but we were prepared. We dressed appropriately, and the captain and first mate explained that we would need to turn back if we saw lightning, for safety. That was totally OK, and we all understood. The crew was friendly and incredibly professional. People tend to forget that boats are serious vessels, and you can easily drown, and need to know the safety procedures. They got that out of the way quickly, but we were fully informed of all the safety procedures and protocols (including the lightning warning). We spent an hour heading out to the lake, had a bluetooth hookup so one of us could DJ while we floated away. The center part has 2 deep coolers where you can load up ice, drinks, etc. You can bring whatever snacks and drinks you want! We had a wonderful time chatting, pedaling, drinking and noshing. We were caught in the rain but thanks to the roof we didn't notice! We all stayed totally dry while on the boat (we did get a little soaked running form the boat to our cars, but that's to be expected!). There are port a potty's at the launch site so you can feel at ease that there is a bathroom. There is a large sign to tell you where to go when you arrive at the parking lot. There is a sunshade and picnic tables while you wait. You have to park in the apartment complex lot, and you just head towards the water- it's not hard to find, but use your GPS if you are unsure. It was a really nice adventure, a great team building event, a unique experience, and definitely something to try this summer!

But as I'm riding today the gears seem to shift occasionally while I'm just pedaling, not shifting. I'm not a bike expert, but it probably shouldn't be doing that. Sorry, but I'm taking it somewhere else next time. The people are nice and the story of the shop is fun and all, but they don't seem to do a very good job of actually servicing a bike. And that's sort of the point...

The owners Holly and Daniel have…read morecompletely rebuilt and furnished this gorgeous 1885 home and their loving care and attention to detail can be seen everywhere you look. Each bedroom is different and beautiful. We stayed in the Hummingbird Room which has a very comfortable king bed, a gorgeous built-in floor to ceiling armoire, and a large tub and rain shower in the beautiful bathroom. The B&B is located in a very cute residential part of Allentown, only a 6-10 minute walk to Allen Street with its many restaurants and shops. The three-course breakfasts and fresh juices that Mary Sue prepares and serves are different every day. Each meal is made from scratch and tasted heavenly. She is really an artist disguised as a chef, and I'm not sure we've ever had anyone who has cooked for us with such talent and care before. When we told her we couldn't eat that much in the morning, she quickly adjusted her menu to fit our needs. Daniel helped serve breakfast in the morning and gave us so many great suggestions for restaurants, places to see, best places to park, and more. There's a small shared fridge for guests on the first floor where we kept some food & leftovers which we really appreciated using. Staying at this gem of a B&B full of such kind, loving people, elevated our trip to Buffalo to a much higher level. We will definitely stay there again.
