I was recently thumbing through "Buffalo" magazine, a bi monthly publication of the Buffalo News. It was an issue dedicate to food with all the usual stories on great local restaurants, chefs and, other foodie features found in city magazines of this type. One set of pages was of particular interest though. A story by Erin St. John Kelly spoke of the blossoming Buffalo culinary scene featuring non european Food. Buffalo's growing refugee population has yielded great benefits to Buffalo restaurant scene. Erin says, in the story, that she and her family moved to Buffalo from Brooklyn. As a food lover she describes searching the city looking for great food especially more unusual types. Her first such discovery was the Burmese "Sun Restaurant" run by Kevin Lin. She started cataloguing her food finds in a map to keep track of them. In 2012 she unveiled the "Map

On that day, we gathered a few girls together, dressed them up in the newest attire from two downtown boutiques, Sasmita Batik Indonesia and J.

Buffalo & Erie County Public Library Staff Review by Anne Conable:
This massive novel is a good addition to the growing collection of well-researched historical fiction exposing another facet of Buffalo's rich base of stories. Illuminating the stories of some of his ancestors, Richard Sullivan has painted a vibrant portrait of the Sullivan family, beginning with the arrival of Mary McGrady and John Sullivan from Ireland in 1850, and the hardscrabble First Ward of Buffalo where generations of Sullivans and many others struggled to make their way in

City Honors School is in the midst of rallying the community behind an initiative that would see the historic Fosdick Field restored and returned to the campus. Today there is a street and a vacant housing project standing between the school and its rightful future. Restoration of the field would not only give the school back much of its original campus, it would also give the students and the community much needed green space for athletic programs (see restoration project).

Most people take for granted the joys of attending a high school prom as a natural course of events. Attendees get to take a partner of their choice and experience an evening with memories that can last a lifetime. For the LGBT community, often it is easier to not attend a prom than to face being teased or taunted. That's why, for the first time ever, Gay & Lesbian Youth Services of Western New York (GLYS) will be hosting a prom for "area youth ages 14 to 19 who - if they ask a date ‐ will be free to bring the person of their choice."

Designed and fabricated by artist Larry Griffis, the easels will be set out so that artists would be able to have a professional set up to paint, thus adding a "plein air" aesthetic to the waterfront.

A new 15 to 20 story building may be rising at the corner of Delaware and Chippewa to serve as the new headquarters of Delaware North. The site is owned by Uniland Development and would be developed as a mixed-use building with a hotel component. The Delaware Court site is said to be the leading contender, but it is unclear how the existing building would be incorporated into the new design.
