It's Time For Dyngus Day!!
WHEN: Monday, April 9, 2007, 5 p.m. till ????
WHERE: Buffalo Central Terminal, 495 Paderewski Drive, Buffalo, N.Y.
For almost 50 years Buffalo gals have snapped off pussywillow branches in hopes of ‘smacking’ a young suitor, while Buffalo men have loaded plastic pistols with water, armed and ready to ‘haul in’ a young maiden.

For $8 a person (or free with proof of entry at another Dy…

Plus there are three or four new places scheduled to open in and around the Allentown area.
Buffalo was formerly referred to as a city that had a bar on every corner. These days you could say the same thing about restau…

An Exquisite European Lunch
Yesterday, my dear friend Tamar and I decided to treat ourselves to lunch at a restaurant we’ve been dying to go to. As we walked from our parking spaces to our destination, the heavenly scent of Bistro Europa drifted toward us.
Inside the cozy and colorful restaurant, we decided to splurge and try a number of things. Owner Mike Pijanowski once described the menu to me as European peasant food. Oh, if only the peasants had it this good. We began with the fondue, a remarkable portion for only $9. The warmed Gruyere was served with pieces of fresh red pepper, grapes, blanched asparagus, crusty bread and pencil-thin grissini. Paired with a good glass of wine, this shared dish would be an excellent choice for a couple out for a romantic evening- or two good friends looking for a yummy lunch!
Next we enjoyed potato pancakes ($6), they are served two to an order with sides of …
