Buffalo Eats

There are a lot of places to eat in WNY (duh, that’s what this blog is dedicated to, I know) and sometimes deciding where to head for a meal is overwhelming. Where to Eat This Weekend is a weekly feature that I (Alli) have been thinking about for a while. I’m incredibly indecisive and while […]

When I first was thinking up the idea of Buffalo Eats and what it could possibly be, one of the first people I talked to was my friend Dino Pinelli Jr.  He’s the co-owner of one of my favorite bars in Buffalo (Charlie O’Briens) but he’s also one of the proudest Buffalo-ians that I know.  […]

For a while I was skeptical of foursquare; I wasn’t sure if I’d get sick of it and just give up checking in places.  But then I started to get addicted to becoming mayor of different places and collecting badges.  About 2 months ago I created a Buffalo Eats foursquare account and started leaving tips […]

In late May I had the privilege of bringing Nelson Starr and his friend Nate Peracciny (from True Blue Buffalo) to do a piece on my favorite place to eat in Buffalo, Charlie O’Briens.  Now, its no secret that I am good friends with one of the owners, Dino, and that probably makes me incredibly […]

UPDATE: Charlie O’Briens has since closed since this post. I’ve wrote about this place countless times, but this was the first time I’ve gone and had the experience of their Seafood Chowder.  It’s one of their “must have” menu items.  Along with their chicken wings (Smitty Style) and their French Fries, and their $1.50 pints […]

Update: Since this post was written, Charlie O’Briens has closed. 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 […]
