NOTE: Since we wrote this article, Fiddleheads has closed. I went to Fiddle Heads, a lovely restaurant in downtown Buffalo, in November of 2008. The menu is unique and has some combination’s that aren’t on your normal menu (at least what I’m use to eating). But the goal of my time working in the Allentown [...]

I worked at Circuit City in Hamburg, NY for almost 4 years. For those of you not familiar with the Buffalo, NY area it was (RIP) located right near the McKinley Mall. The Mall in the last 3 years has had some crazy renevations, going from the most ghetto mall in the greater Buffalo area [...]

One of my favorite places in Buffalo, and more importantly South Buffalo, is my favorite Irish pub: Charlie O’Briens. I’ve gone there (to eat) since I was a kid and since I turned 21 its been my favorite place to drink. You might have seen it in several of our postings, our 80′s explosion and [...]

Yea, you read that headline correct, the name of this Allentown pizzeria is New York Style Pizza. That is the name of the pizzeria I go to on Allen during my lunch hour. Not very creative but damn, it might be the best deal per dollar in the area. For 4.50 you get TWO of [...]

On the corner of Transit and Seneca, Flappy’s Pub is a (relatively) new addition to the area. A couple people I know have gone there and sworn by the pizza. Some saying it is the best they have ever had, so naturally I had to try it out. But this post isn’t about the pizza [...]

In case there are any “readers” out there that don’t know me personally, I recently got a new job working in downtown Buffalo. I finally have a “grown up job” working Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. The best part about the job so far is the area I work in (Allentown) is filled with [...]

On this evening in October 2008, Alli and I had a lovely meal (plus some delicious pints of Alexander Keith’s) at Hamburg’s finest bar/restaurant JP Fitzgeralds. If Buffalo Sports Garden is THE place to eat/drink during a sports game in Orchard Park, JP’s is THE place to do it in Hamburg. A warning for those [...]

For years, the location that now holds BSG in Orchard Park would change every year or 2 into a new pizza place. The previous establishments couldn’t find a way to make it work (including Buffalo’s famous John & Mary’s). A couple years ago, a complete renovation (pictures available at website below) occurred and they turned [...]

Before a tragic fire (that luckily ended with no injuries) this winter destroyed the following restaurant. Alli and I had visited Boston, NY’s staple The Boston Hotel several times. They have some great dining deals, in particular Monday’s were amazing for beer and lobster dantie/clam specials. For those in the greater Buffalo area, you might [...]

This weekend (August 31s, 2008 ) Alli and I went to Pearl Street Grill & Brewery and enjoyed another awesome dinner. I was hesitant to go because I normally don’t like their dinner menu, although I do love their appetizers. FYI: the cheese fries and cheddar beer soup are worth the trip alone. So this [...]
