Dyngus Day Eats at The Central Terminal


At the Central Terminal's Dyngus Day Party (Monday, March 24th) there will be some local favorites and a couple big names as well. Bistro Europa will offer their famous hunter's stew, bigos, and the K Sisters will serve up their award winning pierogi. Ulrich's is in charge of Polish sausage, and Melanie's Sweets will be providing coffee, baked goods and sweets. All vendors accept cash, so there will be no need to wait in line at the ticket counter...unless you want to try either of the exclusive brews Flying Bison has crafted for Dyngus Day. Making their debut at the Central Terminal are Polonia Pilsner and Gdansk Dark. Additionally, Tyskie, an official sponsor of Dyngus Day Buffalo, will be on hand with plenty of their Polish import.
If beer isn't your thing, do not fret. Stop by the Chateau Buffalo booth for an assortment of hard cidres and their new hot, mulled wine. Or you may want to locate the Sobieski ice bar where Sobieski Vodka will be partying.
I could go on and on about the new heating system, expanded parade, or the Sobieski shuttle buses that will be shuttling folks to all the great East Side parties, but I have to go break in my polka shoes. See you at the Terminal!

Before returning to Buffalo, I often wondered what new additions I had missed in our city’s restaurant and bar scene. So highly recommended by many of my closest friends, Jimmy’s on Elmwood, the old Buffalo Barbeque and Brew, was on the top of my to-do bar bite restaurant list.
It has recently been taken over by Jimmy Hambridge, who has been involved with the establishment since it’s opening as the Brew in October of 2006, actually a day before that horrible storm. The Ji …
It should come as no surprise to YUM readers, that I have a passion for spices. You can expect to find me foraging through the city’s ethnic markets, hunting for treasures with which to restock my spice cabinet. The more exotic the spices, the more excited I am to try them. And excited is exactly the way I felt when I first discovered zatar.
Not to be confused with Za’atar (which is a sort of hybrid of thyme-marjoram-oregano), zatar is a traditional Middle Eastern aromatic …
If you’re craving something sweet, you’ve picked the right time to do it. Starting on Monday, June 23rd, Choco-Logo Confectionery Design will be kicking off its annual summer sale. Choco-Logo, whose name is modeled after “Coca Cola,” was, up until recently, the only chocolate factory shop in downtown Buffalo that had captured the attention of people from all over Western New York.
Specializing in corporate gifts, custom logo chocolates and private label products, Choco- …
Italian restaurants are much loved here in Western New York. People from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds cherish the hearty, homestyle flavors of this Mediterranean cuisine. However, for the large group of immigrant and first-generation Italians here in Buffalo, several of the local Italian restaurants miss the mark.
With a mother from Calabria (southern Italy) and some training in the culinary arts, I fall into this category of disenchanted Italians yearning for tru …

v. cool. I've oft wondered what hair of the dog remedy works on Dyngus Day following my typical wicked-Easter peeps bender.
Hey, does Central Terminal sell their WPAesque event prints? (if not, please do! plaque mount them at Poster Art!)

As someone who blindly spent years going to Hearthstone Manor and various other VFW type Cheektowaga venues, only after last year did I realize I WAS MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE NOT GOING TO THE EAST SIDE!!!!!!!!
Wow! What a blast it is in the Broadway/Fillmore/Terminal area! Unlike most Cheektowaga venues, you CAN bring your squirt gun to the east side.

You forgot about Strawberry Island Chocolates! They have been at the Broadway Market for 7 Easters, and now 3 Years full time. (they were mentioned in an article a week ago mentioning that they use the 50yr old recipe for Charlie Chaplin)... They will be participating in the Dyngus Day parade as they did last year, throwing candy to the crowds. They will also be at the Central Terminal!!
Dygnus Day on the East side is back STRONG!!!!! We spent last year all over St Stans, the Library and a few cold minutes in the Terminal (THEY HAVE HEAT THIS YEAR).... It was SO much better than the past several years trolling far away bars all over cheektowaga. Wear something you plan on getting wet (at the Library) and Those Idiots are the best live gig to see on Dyngus Day

If by that you mean our annual posters, yes!
We had heat last year, but in such a cavernous space, it was imperceptible. We do have an improved heating plan this year, but I would strongly advise to dress warmly if you are planning on staying at the terminal for awhile.

knubb2,
The information for the article came from directly the Central Terminal. If Strawberry Island is participating, we weren't made aware of that. We certainly wouldn't have intentionally left them out.

:) thanks... we are very excited about Dyngus Day this year, last year was awesome, and I saw many more people than I expected lined up for the parade.. hopefully this year there will even be more. The central terminal is just one place to hang out, there will be a shuttle heading to all the party locations, and every location honors each others entry fee!
