I don't understand the lake effect dinner is only a season thing? They're not closed for good are they?

The Lake Effect Diner will be closed until fall when it will re-open to throngs of arriving UB students.
Don't let the preservationists know they used this name - might atart a lawsuit.
I guess it is the hip thing on BRO to diss preservationists, so everyone can chuckle amongst themselves at their wit and superiority.
Saving and bringing the Lake Effect diner here was preservation. Designating the West Village as a historic district was preservation. Reinhabiting Chippewa Street was preservation. Continually reusing existing buildings on Elmwood for small businesses, some of which succeed and some of which do not, is preservation. Putting lofts and apartments in empty downtown buildings is preservation. Restoring our Olmsted parks is preservation.
Preservation is the only meaningful economic development that we've seen in the last 3 or 4 decades, and it has made Buffalo a profoundly better place to live. I defy anyone to say the same had we instead pursued the program of ample "shovel ready lots," surface parking, and gazillion dollar silver bullet projects.
Sorry for the rant, but it burns me to watch people bite one of the only hands that has been feeding them lately.
The stuffed peppers were as good as it gets, the burgers way better than ---- mostly everywhere----- service was excellent, the water front at it's best. Certainly not gourmet but the dining was fine--- go there.
I Love what Tucker has done to get where he is today it a truely driven man. Love what he brings to the city. I was suprised when I saw the name of the resturant thought... I always pictured "Dugs Dive" as a themed resturant in the Erie Canel district with the servers being rude and obnoxious drunk sailors. Oh well.
