The Niagara Emporium was an interesting store. The Christmas store wAs all lit up, as a Christmas store should be. Duff's was open and so was a new brewery. Not much going on here, but a great place to walk with lots of parking available.

With all the shopping that goes on these days via the Internet, shopping malls are a dying breed…read more When you can shop on Amazon, for example, the convenience, selection and great prices, retailers just cannot compete. More so in the age of Corona. Well today was a very pleasant experience at the Eastern Hills Mall. I started by taking my unneeded electronics there at 11 AM. This mall was hosting the free electronics waste recycling drop off event in their parking lot. It was so well organized. A company by the name of sunnking was there to take old electronics off your hands. A great service to the community. After that event, I browsed through the Raymour and Flanigan furniture store. This is where the old AM&As, and BonTon used to be, if you recall. Buffalo old timers like me will remember! Then I walked past the Duff's chicken wing restaurant ( yum yum) to browse and check out some very exciting new businesses at the end of the mall where the old Sears used to be. The BFLO store, the Home Today store, the BFLO Events Center (not open yet), and the Chrusicki Bakery /Pierogi store are just refreshing and exciting additions to the Eastern Hills Mall. I think this mall really has potential. I hope once the fear of corona has passed, the mall will pick up more business and folks will truly appreciate what it means to shop in person again. It was really nice to be able to walk into a store, browse through merchandise, speak with the salesperson. That's the way humans interact. The social aspect is what made the experience exceptional today at this mall. The only department store left unfortunately is JCPenney. Otherwise there are many interesting stores when would not expect to see in the mall setting. Pet stores, dog training businesses, a realtor office, even a DMV (currently closed due to Covid), Antique collectible stores, a medical fitness center, blood donor organization, to name a few. Came home with a few treats from the Chrusicki Bakery. Due to being in the Orange Zone for COVID, patrons are not allowed to dine at the tables inside the bakery. Decorated so beautifully for the holidays it was so inviting. The entrance with the fireplace and Christmas theme is worth checking out.

This is the kind of mall you'd see in a movie. I remember going to this mall in high school and…read morecollege and it was one of the coolest places to be. Fast forward to today and it is still a cool place AND most importantly, it still is open with a bunch of new stores. I think what makes this mall special is the collection of things it has in and around it. The restaurants here are all really good if you need any ideas for dinner. The stores are all good size and there's a movie theater. That's my main reason I have been there a lot recently. It is a huge mall and they're open early for folks just to walk around before stores opening. There really is something for everyone at this mall and I am glad it's still open and continuing to keep improving with new stores opening up.

I wanted specifically to review the exceptional changing room in the food court. I was amazed at…read morehow cool it was. Easy to get the stroller in, a nice secure table and a sink. A curtain to hide without having a door to go through (awkward with a stroller) and a curved glass block wall to let in light. Great. The rest of the mall is nice, clean, easy to get around with lots of store. This place is huge. Dave and Busters is fun. escalators are pretty easy to find (again the stroller). Bathrooms were clean and can accommodate many. Good variety at the food court. Large parking lot surrounding the entire mall with many entrances. Easy access from the highway, dedicated entrance from the I-190.

It's a massive Plaza in the rich suburbs of Buffalo right alongside the nightmarish stretch of Transit Road which is always backed up for many hours a day. If you come here later at night it's perfectly fine. But between the McDonald's and the Tim Hortons across the street from each other - and the lights that are poorly programmed - traffic emerging from Sheridan Drive and Maple Road - it just becomes awful. And of course we're looking at Walmart - one of the biggest and best ones in the area - if a Walmart can be the "best" - so just forget about it. Not to mention I've been pulled over while driving in this parking lot which is ironic because I think 95% of people drive much more Dangerously in parking lots than I do and I never see them getting pulled over. I didn't get a ticket but I just wanted to say seriously?

Primark is my favorite store in the world. I've gone to the o es overseas and this is the second…read moreone I've been to in the states. Was so happy to go to the one here. Saw some good deals like $20 for jeans and $5 for sweats. Looked at the shoe selection and wasn't impressed with the prices. $9 for ballet flats is cheap but they're less overseas so I left with nothing. Loved the fact that they had self checkout , store was relatively neat and no interaction with the staff although I made eye contact with everyone.

The great thing about this Plaza is that there are some excellent food options both in the plaza and near it. For example there is the wonderful Almaza grill with the greatest Lebanese rotisserie chicken you will ever taste. And Johnny C's has the best chicken finger Sub in town and a lot of other amazing deli sandwiches. Not to mention Grill Kabob for a wonderful Pakistani Curry although slightly pricey.

I love her cupcakes. But also here is Murphy Browns craft beer. I assume that's not related to the TV show, but you never know. Very cute looking place. Then there is a massage place that's pretty big. The hair salon has a gallery in it. Then there is Steph and Eli clothing, randomly an orthodontist and a pharmacy. The eclectic grouping of options likely leads to plenty of cross business. Very cute small strip place. Some townhouses/apartments in the back. There's plenty of easy parking all around.
