What Is There To Do In Buffalo?
Whether you want some good food, hear some good music, or just simply spend time outside, our city offers way more to do than I had even really realized. Here's a little list I put together of some things to do around the area; some maybe you've heard of and can mark on your calendar's, and some hopefully you never knew were around and you now you can check 'em out!
'Naked Buffalo' Tours
What many people don't know about our city is the long line of history tied to all sorts of mob related activities. A company that started out originally as 'Mob Tours' gives guided sessions all over historic sites in Buffalo and details the dark history of what used to go on in these streets. Now known as 'Naked Buffalo' the company also offers city tours that detail the Erie Canal and the Buffalo brewing history as well.

Buffalo Festivals
Buffalo has a ton of historic annual festivals that are quite well known throughout the city. In case you were wondering when some of your favorites were happening this summer here's a quick list of my fav's and what dates they fall on...
