And there is so much more to Buffalo’s culinary scene than hot sauce and blue cheese dressing! Start with enormous ethnic diversity, over 90 languages spoken at Buffalo public schools, add in a profusion of local farms and orchards and a microclimate that’s ideal for fruit and grape growing and what do you get? You get great restaurants, delicious regional specialties, wine trails, farmer's markets, and gourmet food shops. Buffalo abounds with entertainment.
