• Commented on Buffalo: You'll Eat it Up!
  Buffalo is not a bad restaurant city, especially for its size, but there is a bit of redundency (sp?) . The quality level is there on the food, but the whole package (service, food, wine & atmosphere) is a little...
• Commented on AM&As Store Rehab Plan Revealed
  Forget the big Box, aint gonna happen, and there already is a Tops downtown and a Wegmans 8 min drive from CBD, thats a quicker wegmans commute than a lot of burbs. Please stop with the grocery store downtown bit,...
• Commented on AM&As Store Rehab Plan Revealed
  More Hotel rooms, great. Just keep them coming and keep making them better. The more rooms the more competition and the better the product. We might finally be able to host bigger conventions and events. I hope there is a...
• Commented on Challenge: Get Your Cake Face On
  hey don't get me wrong Danger, anything that raises the level of public appreciation of real food is a good thing. It's just too bad that so many good(but I suppose boring to viewers)food programs have been cut to make...
• Commented on Challenge: Get Your Cake Face On

• Commented on Ground Broken on Curtiss Building Restoration
  The better operations run with very low occupency, the crappy ones sit around and wonder where all the business is coming from. My guess is this one will run with little vacancy. Not many details in this piece by BR,...

• Commented on Ground Broken on Inner Harbor Streets
  Mr GreenJeans, you are not really complaining that a multi million dollar retail and recreation developement is being built on the inner harbor are you? There are several examples of buildings being saved too, all over the city. With all...
• Commented on Ground Broken on Inner Harbor Streets
  I actually think things are moving quite swiftly over the last 12 months. A lot of planning (agonizing at times) has gone into this project and now there is real momentum. Private investment has to follow some sort of public...
• Commented on On the Buffalo Trail in the Big Apple
  and also Blue Moon on 1st Ave & 75th street, they play the Sabre dance song and light the red siren light when the Sabres score, the joint serves pretty average Mexican food for the most part but it is...
• Commented on We're Terrible at Eating Fast Food
  not sure what to think of this one, but i am tired of all the hoopla in general about how obese america is, someone could wax just as passionatly about how fit and fantatical americans are about exercise. You see...
• Commented on Just Released: Bruce Springsteen to Finish 2009 Tour in Buffalo
  one of the truly life changing concert experiences, in 30 years of concert going I have never seen any performer match Bruce's energy, passion and sincere desire to work for his audience. Even the most casual observer will be in...

• Commented on The Gateway Saloon or what?
  Indeed it is a cool space but quite large and difficult to fill on a daily basis. And yes there was a Charlie Bubbles in Hamburg...

  The bar is from Charlie Bubbles, a short lived bar and restaurant in the McKinley Mall in the late 80's early 90's....
• Commented on Niagara Riverside Market?
  Only downside is that it is not walking distance from very many neighborhoods. Something like this downtown could generate alot of foot traffic and spin off, like so many of Buffalo's attractions that are scattered around the region....
• Commented on On the Market: 13 E. Mohawk Street
  the city gave W Mohawk to Paladino for a parking lot, instead doing the common sense think and open it up, creating more valuable real estate with access to at auto traffic...

• Commented on Caz Coffee Cafe - A Hidden Gem in South Buffalo
  Yo Matt, the coffee is great, yet you put a shot of peanut butter in it??? Really how is the coffee? Is there a choice of roasts, are beans ground and coffee stored airtight, or sitting on burners in glass...
• Commented on Creating A Vibrant DT Street Presence
  Please stop this thread, it is the most ridiculous in some time. If you think a large scale grocery store makes sense for that space then you are a dreamer or have the mind of a child....
• Commented on Creating A Vibrant DT Street Presence
  Wegmans, Dashes, are you kidding me? Who is going down there for groceries, where will they park or will they just carry their perishables all the way home. This location makes about the least sense for a grocery store. (just...

  Tabree, Bacchus, Shango and Aroma represent the new dining scene in Buffalo... owner operated with solid and thoughtful service and a top notch approach to food and wine. The old standby's are nice too, but some of those places have...

• Commented on Quote of the Day: Higgins' Rainbow
  No matter what Higgins position was on the skyway, that would have been a lengthy and probably unending planning process. Instead he jumped on the money for the outer harbor parkway while it was there and that is going to...

• Commented on Should Lindy Ruff be Fired?
  no wholelotta there is not enough talent, a few skilled players that would fit nicely on a third line but no win at all cost players that will step in front of bus for the team. We are soft, passionless...
• Commented on Should Lindy Ruff be Fired?
  Bottom line...we don't have good enough players to win. They are soft and lack the instinct and will to grind with the better players in the league. They do not have a legitimate first line and at best they have...
