After a successful first season, Buffalo Bites Food Tours is back to lead people around the city in search of sights and tastes that make Buffalo a wonderful food destination. The touring group is the brainchild of local foodie and Buffalo native, Laura Reed. Last summer, Laura led groups throughout the Elmwood Village, showing people the different gems that comprise the neighborhood. “Elmwood Village was my first choice because of its rich history, inspiring architecture, unique shops and incredible eateries,” Laura said. “It really gives the true flavor of what Buffalo is all about.”
The three-hour walking tour immerses attendees into the cultural mix. For those who may be unfamiliar with The Elmwood Village and the city of Buffalo, being led by a guide who is a pro when it comes to designing food tour packages is the way to go. Before starting the business, Laura trained in Chicago with Food Tour Pros, which ultimately led her back to Buffalo to test out the market in her hometown. So far, the concept has been welcomed by myriad participants. From beer tastings to a wide variety of culinary treats, the walking tour is a smorgasbord of both food and architectural delights. Guests on the tour have ranged from Western New Yorkers to visitors from Canada, a number of states and even a few foreign countries. Signing up with Buffalo Bites Food Tours is a great way for newcomers to acclimate to the city, or for some people it’s a way to get reacquainted with their city.
