Shango Celebrates Mardi Gras With Panache

Looking to enjoy Fat Tuesday with a little style? Then head to Shango, one of Buffalo's best restaurants. They specialize in fine New Orleans-style cuisine every day (and a killer brunch), but on Mardi Gras they really know how to throw a great party, with beads and merriment galore!
Tonight guests will enjoy music from Mumbo Gumbo (7PM -11PM), special pricing on Louisiana's favorite beer (Abita), Sake Hurricanes and the option to order off of their regular (and delicious) menu or the special Fat Tuesday prix fixe menu ($25 per person). And don't forget they have an award winning wine list (Wine Spectator) and one of Buffalo's best beer selections.
If you've never been to Shango before, this is the perfect excuse to go.

It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— …
Cecelia’s Ristorante & Martini Bar is prepared to guide their guests through the tastes of fall with their brand new fall menu. Although it is getting a bit too cold for the patio, the hardy food inside will warm things right up.
I started out with the Harvest Salad ($8) and the “Lumpy” Crab Cakes ($9). The Harvest Salad was served with a rosemary citrus vinaigrette, and topped with apricots, beets, pine nuts, walnuts, dried cranberries, and other assorted dried fruits. …
One of the perks my daughter's friends enjoy about a sleepover at my home (other than rearranging the furniture for movie time) are the crepes I serve our guests in the morning.
I can remember sleepover breakfasts from when I was a kid that consisted of potato chips and soda from the night before. If the lack of sleep didn't make us dizzy and irritable enough, the fat, salt and sugar we ingested in the morning would make sure the entire day would be counted for lost. Ugh.

Christa,
Shango is great, and their brunch is amazing. I am addicted to the two avocado spring rolls,with sun-dried tomato and roasted corn, with cilantro cashew pesto, chili pepper garlic sauce, and a sesame-seaweed salad. And a must try is the two poached eggs over smoked salmon hash, and cornmeal fried oysters, with creole hollandaise sauce. Now that is a killer brunch to enjoy any Sunday!
