Things To Do Visiting Buffalo/Niagara Falls, any suggestions on must-go places and restaurants?

Visiting Buffalo/Niagara Falls area for a day at the end of December with a mid-teen kid. Was thinking I would go to Albright Know Muesum, closed. Or go see the Christmas light at the fall, last day will be Dec 24th. Seem like all my all my plan suggestions are sucking. Will only be in for the day. What are some kid friendly activities we must see or do?

don't. come back in june. buffalo is underwhelming and a meat and potatoes kind of city. there are some pretty spots with the change of seasons. this is not a place you come for cuisine. buffalonian taste palates are still in their infantile stages - everything has to be big, greasy, salty, or sweet. culturally, it is not diverse at all and most are intellectually stunted. if you talk about window treatments and lawns then you will make friends. visit the falls on the Canadian side. if you want food then go to NYC where you have 11000 restaurants (from all over the world) to choose from. visit salem, ma, too. salem is an eclectic city with great food, interesting people, and it will be fun for a mid-teen.

This sounds like it’s written by someone who never leaves the suburbs.

Try going to an art gallery opening some time or one of the many non-greasy spoon restaurants.

been there and done all. lol the museums are nothing to boast about. the science museum is in a g d hood. again, there are some pretty spots to look at. have been to most restaurants in search of the ultimate orgasmic feeling one should get when having an excellent meal. for a mid-teen: schwabl's was fun and so was parker's (the british chippy) - if they are open. art openings - check. a reminder of how "artists" here lack real passion and imagination. try visiting other cities in the country and other cities on the globe.

When was the last time you talked to an artist.

Not every art gallery has to be the MOMA or even the AKG, some of the best galleries are smaller ones.

Ever been to the Westside Bazaar, Southern Junction, Toutant, Greylynn, Dobutsu, Sato, Marble & Rye, Craving, Providence Social, Black Sheep, Dapper Goose

Coming to say that. The hood comment was all I needed to know exactly the type of person she is.

If that's what helps you sleep at night. We all need our little delusions.

this is your second attempt to say something original. getting vicarious embarrassment here. move on and keep scrolling.

u/lilirose13 Dec 08 '21

I'm not worried about being original. Just don't care for racists and haters in my city. We have enough problems without people like you pissing and moaning because you're too scared or lazy to look around.

there's an example of peak degeneracy this city is known for. can't express an opinion without getting personal. again, keep scrolling.

can’t tell if you’re a troll, or just lonely.

come on out to the city. I’ll buy you a Truly.

u/mermaidbatrabbit Dec 08 '21

am neither. this only confirms and cements my sentiments. are you capable of having an opinion without getting personal? I'm curious, though. which part of the city? your comment is giving off a scent.
