Let’s just say I were to be tasked by some hyper-pro-Buffalo agency to fill out a weekend in such a way that highlights the region’s awesomeness. This last weekend would be pretty close. It seriously sounds like stuck-up WASPs going on about their holiday at Vail. Watch.<\/p>\n
While waiting in line for a haircut<\/a> — there were just so many<\/span> people on Elmwood — I got a text telling me that Peter Fowler had a showing at his kepa3 gallery<\/a> down on Barker. Off we jetted, meeting up with some well-mannered people who drive black cars. After politely reviewing the art, we stopped by Laughlin’s<\/a> for a late lunch. Cajun grouper and Sam Adams Winter Lager on tap: simply fantastic! Apparently we missed some exciting doings at Sample <\/a>in the late night due to some missed messages — another expat has decided to move back into town for the low cost-of-living and thriving arts community.<\/p>\n All was set for a quiet Sunday until I received an email inviting me for a coffee at Spot<\/a>, as a friend had set up shop there for the day to study. Well, didn’t we just have to stop by? We didn’t stay for long — there were just so many<\/span> people — and popped across the street to Globe <\/a>for a reasonably priced coffee. While there, we ran into more friends and joined them on a short walk down Elmwood, stopping just long enough for Shoefly<\/a>, of course. We parted ways, and Jess and I took advantage of the fine January weather to continue our walk down the well-manicured green-space of Chapin to Hoyt Lake<\/a>.<\/p>\n A bit of rest before dinner at Mother’s<\/a> with a friend who stopped back from NYC for a family event. After a fine meal (for a much better price than one could find downstate), another friend caught up with us and we slid across Virginia Place to Scarlet<\/a> for a pint or two in the red neon. <\/p>\n See? Snooty-sounding, even in our very own Buffalo. Tune in next weekend when I detail how I sit inside and watch Doctor Who.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s just say I were to be tasked by some hyper-pro-Buffalo agency to fill out a weekend in such a way that highlights the region’s awesomeness.
