The wife and I are heading to Buffalo in late October. Kind of an odd bucket list trip having always wanted to eat Buffalo wings in Buffalo. I'm looking for a couple of recommendations:

1. What are the must try wing places?

2. What are the fun areas of town or where should we stay?

Thanks in advance.

I have passed through Buffalo many times during road trips. Seen a few shows there too. You talk of wings but I will say this: Buffalo is one of the most underrated pizza towns in North America. It's gotta be top 5 at least.

Check out Bocce Club Pizza, open since 1946: https://bocceclubpizza.com/ . The location on Bailey Ave is really good. Their wings are great as well. It's take out only with a picnic table outside. No seating inside. Not sure if their other locations are sit down restaurants.

Santora's is great too. Open since 1927: https://www.santoraspizza.com/

Anchor Bar invented the Buffalo Wing: https://anchorbar.com/ . If you're looking to eat at the place where it all began.

There is someone on this board that either lived in Western NY or spent a lot of time there, can't remember who it was though.

Go buy a car from Mattley while you’re there and catch a Bills game. That’s all I got.
