Will need a rental car. About 30 minutes north from Buffalo. Alyssa grew up in this area.

Niagara-on-the-Lake Wineries are about 30-45 minutes from Buffalo, NY. You will need a passport and a rental car, but there are many and they are beautiful.

Across the street from the venue. A great bar with home brews and delicious burgers. Alyssa and Mike celebrated their engagement party here.

For everything from a solid cup of coffee to light breakfast fare, this is the place to go.

If your team is playing (ahem... Buffalo), this is where you want to go to watch it. It fills up fast, and has some of the best wings in the area.. real wings for our out-of-towners.

A fun walkable brewery. Beers and bites.

**Where Mike proposed !!** AND a beautiful piece of history.

If you're feeling artsy, check out the monthly theme. This is across from Alyssa's Alma Mater and showcases an amazing collection modern & contemporary art. It's in front of Delaware Park which has running trails around Hoyt Lake. Shakespeare in the park is also held here.

Some of the best house made pasta you can eat. Absolutely delicious Italian.

Beautiful wine bar right with excellent food.

Beautiful place for dinner. Food is excellent.

If you know Mike, you know he loves his scotches and whiskeys. This is a great classic bar with live music and a large variety.

Beautiful boutique hotel with an amazing rooftop bar.

How does one say this... if you're hungry for a fresh cooked ribeye and oysters, and it's 3am? Have no fear. Mother's is here. A Buffalo staple restaurant with white linens that will serve you amazing food into the early hours. Mike and Alyssa have been here once or twice ;).

You cannot visit Buffalo and miss out on Paula's donuts. It's true, forget the diet, forget your morals, Paula's will always have a place for you.

PS: there is always a line.

Mike will go out of his way to have pizza here. Call it nostalgia, or just damn good pizza. LG pizza to bring back to the hotel? Yes, please.

When Canadian beer is considered a domestic... you know you're in Buffalo. Simple brew house with pub style food.

**Warning - Alyssa does not approve this message**

When the bar crawl comes to an end, and food is required. Mike will eat this happily at any given time. Some might say they have great chicken finger or stinger (steak and chicken finger) subs. Alyssa will not walk in here. The past is too hard.
