This event is hosted and promoted by Goddess Promotions. The goal of the promotion group is to provide first class event and planning services to individuals, business and not-for-profit organizations while helping to promote and advance other female entrepreneurs and the Western New York community.

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:55am

Closing this week on my little piece of South Buffalo and this sounds like fun! Perfect timing! Nice to know there's a cafe right around the corner. I'm new to South Buffalo and unfamiliar with what's around other than the Basilica and the Botanical Gardens, etc., so this is a great opportunity to see what the area has to offer! Grew up north of the city and hope South Buffalo is every bit the nice place I've always felt it to be. I'm looking forward to the move and learning more about the area.

If you're in the vicinity of the Botantical Gardens, check out Curly's restaurant on Ridge Rd. It has a long history in the neighborhood, but a modern menu.
