Hard Cider Dances Into Buffalo


Chateau Buffalo of Hertel Avenue is now bottling and releasing a hard cider deemed “Dancing Buffalo Hard Cidre.” Made of NY state grown apples, aged in oak, and bottled on-site, this beverage weighs in at 8.5% alcohol by volume; a bit less than wine, a bit more than most beers.
Featuring a picture of the famed Buffalo Central Terminal on the label, this is a local product that is worth checking out. If you’re interested in purchasing a bottle, it is available only at Chateau Buffalo.

This situation spurred me into thinking about what the definition of modern food is and who in Buffalo is preparing it. I decided that over the course of the following weeks I …
This just in: Buffalo has a lot of great coffee houses. Actually, that’s an obvious statement and not news to anyone. We all know that Buffalo offers many fun places to grab a coffee. I wonder what makes a person prefer some places more than others. My favorite coffee house happens to be CafĂ© Allegro. I always feel at home there.
