If there is one thing that Buffalo is known for, it may be the weather (either that or chicken wings - but for the sake of this post, we’re going to go with weather). As unpredictable as it may be, there are definitely a number of upsides to the city that many people overlook. Only recently have I really understood how beautiful of a city Buffalo is. In the past two or three weeks we have been roaming around town to take pictures for the magazine that we are producing. In our travels, we visited the History Museum and the Albright Knox Art Gallery - both of which are gorgeous. We also have the beautiful Forest Lawn Cemetary and Delaware Park (which has recently been packed with people enjoying the warm weather).

In addition to the beautiful scenery, there is such a unique culture in Buffalo. This weekend, my boyfriend and I went to Elmwood to find a birthday present for my mom. There were so many people walking around, stopping in all the shops, and eating outside at all the cute restaurants. It really felt like summer. Anyways, there are some really cool places on the Elmwood strip that you really can’t find anywhere else. On our 80 degree Saturday, we ate lunch on the patio at Kosta’s Restaurant on Hertel Avenue. The streets were alive there, as well. I was so excited to eat outside for the first time this year. Judging by the amount of people there, I think everyone else is excited to see that patios are being reopened, too.

Driving around, we saw people having picnics, taking walks, and playing basketball. The energy that comes with warmer weather is just contagious, and this weekend, everyone was enjoying the beauty that Buffalo offers.
