A Beach in Buffalo...
by sissah
As weird as it may sound, you can catch some rays while visiting Buffalo. On Grand Island, the island in the middle of the Niagara River (the 190 runs right through from Buffalo to Niagara Falls by means of GI) has a small, but decent beach. It’s in Beaver Island State Park on the southern tip of the island, and while I’m not a beach bunny, I am including it in case there is someone who just has to go to the beach or something. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just including it because there’s nothing else of much note on the island I grew up on. There is a cost to get into the park if you’re in a car, but I don’t know how much it is – I always went jogging there, but I don't think it's much. You can get there by taking the I-190 to Grand Island and then take the Beaver Island exit.

Having grown up in Buffalo, I would have to say that no trip to Buffalo is complete without a trip to The Anchor Bar and Grill on Main Street. The Anchor Bar invented the 'Buffalo' wing, that spicy delectable treat that goes so well with ranch or bleu cheese dressing. In addition, the city is actually quite beautiful with Niagara Falls situated just 20 minutes outside of downtown. The food and the people. Buffalo clearly has some of the best food on the great lakes or in upstate NY. From Beef on Weck to chicken wings to chicken finger subs, the thought of going home just makes my mouth water. Also, the people are among the friendliest around. Buffalo is a place where people still get to know their neighbors. In fact, Buffalo has been called the 'City of Good Neighbors'.
Pop
by jaybird199
Now most Great Lake states(New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, etc...) have at least one faux paux in common. That's the use of the word "Pop" instead of "Soda". Canadians take credit for being the first to institutionalize the word int eh english vocabulary-but c'mon-we all know they get everything from the states!! But yes, Buffalo residents do refer to soda as pop. I grew up saying it as well. Whose knows what its supposed to be!
Boating and sailing on the waterways
by Herkbert
Though our summers might not extend as long as we would like, they still provide ample opportunity for those who enjoy sailing or boating. Lake Erie and the Niagara River are a boater's paradise. From sailing regattas to weekend outings with friends, you'll find people enjoying the water.

Take a drive to Sturgeon Point Marina in the South Towns. This is a small marina on the on Lake Erie. It is a fantastic place to relax and walk on the rocks that make up a small pier. The sun and the wind off the lake feels great on a hot summer day. The main activity is of course boating and fishing.
Take the drive from route 5 to Old Lakeshore Road. about 5-8 miles down is the marina on your right.
