There are plenty of perks of living in Buffalo that we often take advantage of. Sure, we get dumped on by tons of snow and our winters are longer than we’d typically like. But any negatives aside, the 716 is a great place to live, work, and play! Read ’em and weep, every other city! Here are 9 privileges Buffalonians have that the rest of the U.S. doesn’t.
- All the wings our bellies can handle.
Anchor Bar - Facebook If you go to a restaurant and it doesn’t have wings on the menu, is it really a restaurant at all? In Buffalo, the answer is most likely no. Wings are one of the most delicious privileges Buffalonians have. No one does wings better!
- Niagara Falls as our neighbor.
Niagara Falls USA - Facebook (PC @m.i.c.h.a.e.l_770 - Instagram) Do you have a natural wonder in your backyard? Oh sorry, we forgot, that’s just Buffalo!
- The Olmsted Parks system.
Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy - Facebook The Olmsted Parks system is one of the most beautiful privileges Buffalonians have. Our parks are some of the most extensive in any city in the U.S.
- Our amazing architecture.
Enrico Santagati - Flickr From Frank Lloyd Wright to Louis Sullivan, some of the greatest architectures have designed their works in the 716.
- An exciting waterfront.
Canalside Buffalo - Facebook It hasn’t always been the greatest, but Buffalo’s waterfront has been expanding at a rapid pace as of late. And we’re totally here for it!
- Intriguing history.
Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises - Facebook Our interesting history is one of the best privileges Buffalonians have. From the War of 1812 when the city was literally burnt to the ground, to the construction of the Erie Canal, and everything in-between, there’s no shortage of interesting facts to learn about!
- Amazing food.
Chiavetta’s BBQ Take Out - Facebook Chiavetta’s. Bison dip. Sahlen’s. Webers. Need we say more?
- These incredible sunsets.
John Piercy - Flickr I mean… seriously. Sunsets over Lake Erie are some of the best in the U.S. (if not the world). (Yes, we realize we’re biased.)
- The smell of Cheerios in the air.
Nick Amoscato - Flickr Last but certainly not least… what other city welcomes you in with the sweet smell of Cheerios each morning? Some might call the General Mills plant an eyesore. But we count it as one of the sweetest privileges Buffalonians have!
