EXPERIENCE BUFFALO

with MJ Peterson Real Estate


Fun Things to Do in Buffalo, NY

The City of Good Neighbors — great food, fierce sports, stunning waterfront & world-class culture.

Wings were invented here. Visit the Anchor Bar (the original), Gabriel's Gate, or Duff's. Served with blue cheese — never ranch.

Food & Drink
Beef on weck

Buffalo's other iconic sandwich — thinly sliced roast beef on a kummelweck roll, piled high and impossibly messy.

Food & Drink
Craft beer

Community Beer Works, Flying Bison, and 42 North Brewing are local favorites. Buffalo's brewery scene is seriously thriving.

Food & Drink
Highmark Stadium

Bills Mafia is one of the NFL's most passionate fan bases. The atmosphere at Highmark Stadium — especially playoffs — is electric.

Sports

NHL hockey at KeyBank Center downtown is a winter staple. The rink atmosphere is incredible and tickets are often affordable.

Sports

Formerly the Albright-Knox — a world-class collection spanning Picasso to contemporary works, now in a stunning new building.

Arts & Culture

A stunning 1926 movie palace turned venue. Broadway tours, concerts, and events inside one of the most beautiful rooms in the state.

Nature
Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site

TR took the oath of office here after McKinley's assassination in 1901. The beautifully preserved Wilcox Mansion tells the gripping story.

Guaranty Building Buffalo

The Guaranty Building by Louis Sullivan, City Hall, and the Electric Tower are must-see examples of early 20th-century greatness.
