Buffalo Basics

A January 2003 trip to Buffalo by globetrekr

Quote: Buffalo is far from being the most glamorous city, or the most sophisticated, or the most popular, or the most anything. But Buffalo has hidden talents that only require a little searching.

Jim's Steakout

Restaurant

Quote:
Jim's Steakout has a wide selection of subs for takeout or eating in. Their chicken finger sub is my favorite. There are plenty of other items to choose from, including wings and steak sandwiches.

Check out jimssteakout.com for locations.

Quote:
The Martin House is an excellent example of Frank Lloyd Wright's design genius. (It is one of the reasons I myself went into architecture.) It may seem surprising at first that a simple town like Buffalo would be home to a Frank Lloyd Wright work, but Buffalo has more unique architecture then you might think. The Martin House is under some renovations as of 1/06, but it is still open for tours. Check out www.darwinmartinhouse.org for tour information and updates on the renovation work.Also of interest to anyone who appreciates Frank Lloyd Wright is Graycliff. Graycliff (nicknamed "Wright on the Lake") was the summer home of the Martin family and is located at 6472 Old Lake Shore Road in Derb...Read More
