Buffalo, NY – The “City of Good Neighbors”

Buffalo is a city with a rich history and a dynamic blend of old-world charm and modern innovation. Located on the shores of Lake Erie, Buffalo is known for its stunning architecture, including works by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and its revitalized waterfront that offers scenic views and outdoor activities. Visitors can explore the city's vibrant arts scene, with numerous galleries, theaters, and museums, including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buffalo Museum of Science. The Finger Lakes wine region (the second largest wine-producing region in the US) and the awe-inspiring Niagara Falls (one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World) are also close by for those who have some extra time. Known for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere, Buffalo is also famous for its culinary scene, particularly the iconic Buffalo wings. With a mix of historic landmarks, cultural attractions, and emerging tech hubs, Buffalo is an exciting city to discover.
