• Commented on Conversation Starter: Buffalo Pond Hockey Needs a Better Home
  I'm not so sure it's too small. The pond hockey rinks aren't that big. You could easily line multiple rinks down the canal. And spectators can watch from street level. It actually seems ideal. It might be spread out a...
• Commented on Conversation Starter: Buffalo Pond Hockey Needs a Better Home
  Isn't the Canalside project supposed to be finished by next winter? Those canals are supposed to allow ice skating in the winter months. I think they're installing the necessary refridgeration equipment also. This is only a short walk from the...
• Commented on Manakeesh & More
  I noticed a comment on this link saying Ambrosia will be moving into the location of Nektar. Is this true? Is Nektar closing? I'm sorry for taking the focus off Manakeesh and More. Great to see more activity on Hertel...
• Commented on Perfetto!
  I stopped in earlier this week with a few friends for drinks and appetizers. They've done a great job updating the ambiance. The shared appetizers were great. They have 24 beers on tap, which is impressive. I look forward to...
• Commented on Don Tequila Mexican Taqueria
  The Orchard Park location had a massive fire today. I hope this doesn't change their plans for Allentown. I've been looking forward to the opening since seeing it on this site....
• Commented on Betting on Vasilis Downtown
  I read comments like this on BRO all the time. I also live downtown. I agree, it would be great to have places like Washington Market, Kaydara and Seabar open extended hours through the entire week. However, that's not realistic....
• Commented on Catholic Health Admin Center Design Released
  Kaydara is very good. It's in the Sidway building....
• Commented on Which truck should Chris choose?
  If the semi-permanent place for the truck has a "great view," the double decker bus with second level seating is a no-brainer....
• Commented on Butterwood Opens for Business
  I believe Scott was the chef at the old Stillwater. I hope he brings back the french onion soup. Definitely the best I've ever had. Awesome fall and winter comfort food....
• Commented on The Place to watch a Sabres' game
  Let's just hope there's no lockout. The Place is awesome....
• Commented on M/Y Tribu' and Tò-Kalòn
  It's been in the marina for at least a week and a half now. I was at the marina the weekend of the 11th and it was there....
• Commented on Helium Balloons Buffalo's Comedy Scene
  I agree with your comment. I'm excited to see a new comedy club open downtown, but the theatre district would appear to be a better location. It's hard to envision the mixing of crowds between a Friday/Saturday Sabres game and...
• Commented on Boutique Hotel Opening in Webb Building
  The day care center has been gone for a while now. No issue there. My understanding is part of the problem with the apartments was a noise issue with the banquet facilities downstairs. Apparently some of the tenants weren't happy...
• Commented on Perfetto | Steak - Seafood - Pasta
  The Buffalo News article says they plan to open in September. In time for Curtain Up....
• Commented on Dino BBQ Picks Franklin Street Location
  Awesome!...
• Commented on Mighty Taco Opens on Chippewa Tomorrow
  I spoke to a server at the Taste of Buffalo and they said opening in fall of 2013. They didn't have a location though. Seems like there should be some official news coming soon....
• Commented on Soft Opening for Pan American Grill and Brewery
  I stopped in for dinner this past Tuesday. I'd say the food is a step above Pearl St. It's a better quality, in my opinion. The bartender told us they will be brewing beer specifically for Pan Am Grill. As...
• Commented on Downtown Retail Update- June 2012
  I have absolutely no knowledge on where Dinosaur BBQ is looking. Would Genesee Gateway be considered Theatre District? I'm trying to think of places that would have enough space for a Dinosaur location. Ya Ya obviously comes to mind. There...
• Commented on Downtown Retail Update- June 2012
  We were there over the weekend for drinks. One of the bartenders told us they are waiting for grant money from the city. Once that comes he plans to work on the exterior of the building and get the scaffolding...
• Commented on Construction Watch: AM&A's Department Store
  The rumors I've heard do, in fact, include "brewing" within the building. I would assume more details will be out soon....
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  While I agree there are probably better local bbq spots, (Kentucky Greg's, One Eyed Jack's, etc) I believe getting a Dinosaur is worthwhile for the reputation and draw. If it does open downtown there's no doubt it will attract visitors...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  Cobblestone district is the right location for them. It's close to Canalside, yet still has that edgy feel to it. Also, the Rochester location is right around the corner from the Blue Cross Arena. The hockey and sports crowd would...
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  I believe you're on the right track mentioning this location as a possible Dinosaur BBQ. However, this building has been in the news recently as adding apartments on the upper floors. The parking will, most likely, be used for residents....
• Commented on Dinosaur BBQ. So close but so far...
  While I agree the former Empire Brewery is probably the right size, it isn't the right demographic. People going to the theatre are most likely not going for BBQ. And they typically don't mix with the biker crowd. I believe...

• Commented on ECHDC conducts survey about food, markets and restaurants in Greater Buffalo
  I agree with you about Dinosaur BBQ and Trader Joe's. When I filled out the survey I recommended Jillian's, which would go along with your bowling alley thought. Jillian's is a chain in many cities which competes with Dave and...
• Commented on ECHDC conducts survey about food, markets and restaurants in Greater Buffalo
  The survey is interesting. I would like to see a market come to Canalside. Although, while filling out the survey my responses don't seem to indicate that. I occasionally go to the Elmwood/Bidwell market. I never go to any of...

  Yes, it is related....
• Commented on A Vote For Lloyd is A Vote For The Food Bank
  The Food Network website isn't capable of meeting the demand for high traffic. The site hasn't been able to load the voting page all day. Apparently the best way to vote is by text....

  I know it's a huge space, but I believe the old Stillwater space is still available. The name escapes me, but the restaurant in that same plaza across from the old Cloister is also vacant. Is the Blue Buffalo on...
