New York's second largest city, Buffalo is known world-wide for its architectural treasures; only Chicago boasts a larger collection of buildings by America's foremost architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and Henry Hobson Richardson. The acclaimed Albright-Knox Art Gallery boasts one of the top collections of modern art in the world.
Guidebooks comment on Buffalo's lively nightlife scene. The hostel is located a short walk from the center of activity--and just 1km from the Anchor Bar and Restaurant, where Buffalo chicken wings were invented. A city of sports enthusiasts, Buffalo has professional hockey, football, and baseball teams.
Buffalo has received national recognition for its lively arts scene. Live theater and music thrive in Buffalo. Buffalo is on Lake Erie, and the waterfront is a favorite destination in summer and fall. The Hatch, an inexpensive waterfront cafe, attracts travelers and locals alike. The park setting around the marina offers a recreational path plus lots of space for lounging in the sun or shade.
Two-hour cruises of Lake Erie and the Niagara and Buffalo Rivers depart from the marina.
Let's Go USA says that a combination of big-city perks and small-town warmth make Buffalo a soothing place to spend some time. Travelers seem to agree; many stay a day or two or three longer than they originally planned.
