Kristen and Kenny’s TOP 5 things to do in the area…

1) Elmwood Village: our home for the past 5 years… this cute neighborhood in Buffalo is filled with great locally owned shops, bakeries, restaurants, and coffee shops!

2) Allen St. Hardware: the site of our first date, grab a glass of wine or a Panini there if you have a minute! (Oh yeah, it is a bar/restaurant, not a hardware store!)

3) Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society: the museum is great… but, the gorgeous Portico out back is the best part!

4) Delaware Park: take a walk (or run) around “the loop” and peek in on the buffalo at the Zoo—or enjoy some time at Hoyt Lake, the Rose Garden, & Shakespeare Hill.

5) Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON: this beautiful, quaint town in Southern Ontario is only a short ride away and is a great way to spend the day or an overnight wandering the town, tasting wine, and eating good food! During the summer, the town is overflowing with gorgeous flowers! Be sure to taste some Ice Wine while you are there! (E-mail us if you are thinking of going for an overnight and want some suggestions!)
