One night in Buffalo

Anchor completely overrated tourist trap. Below average wings, above average prices.

Avoid the Queenston-Lewiston bridge - always a complete and utter cluster.

Rainbow is ok, Peace Bridge "generally" isn't bad. If you have Nexus (and everyone in your vehicle does as well), use the old Whirlpool Bridge in the Falls as it's Nexus-only and there is never a wait.

 

Because I like the Anchor and/or Century, or because I ain't never been to no Duff's?

 

The airport has an Anchor bar so it's a nice fall back if time did not allow for a stop at the
original.

We have not heard from 3B since he hit Duffs last night. Someone better go check on him.
He might still be sitting at the bar.

 

Yes.

 

For future reference:

• Charlie The Butcher is where to go for beef on weck.
• If your wife tells you she'd rather go to the Anchor Bar than Duff's consider dropping her off.
• The Niagara Falls panorama may not be as impressive from the American side, but our side is the only one where you can feel them. In warmer weather, pay the $1 to go down the elevator to the Maid of the Mist dock level and take the short hike to the bottom of the falls. Or pony up bigger money for the Cave of the Winds.

 

Agree completely, particularly about the Queenston-Lewiston bridge and also Anchor. Mediocre wings.

HC & I have Nexxus and yeah, it's two minutes to cross at the Whirlpool. It makes the border virtually disappear.

 

Went to Chef's tonight. Good, not great. Portion of spaghetti parm was huge. I have a pretty big appetite and I could only eat about a quarter of it. Charlie the Butcher, eh? There's one near my hotel by the airport. Might have to give it a try tomorrow.

 

Heated the leftover spaghetti parm up at the hotel and put the sauce over it. Was much better than in the restaurant. Also had a Beef on Weck. Good but ate it cold after the plane flight. Also did Anchor Bar wings at the airport. Very, very good although expensive, $13.50 for 10.
