A trip to the city’s West Side is a real eye opener these days. As immigrants and refugees come to Buffalo in search of new opportunities, the West Side is quickly becoming a diverse cultural feast for a city that has been stagnant in this department for quite some time. From the small, quaint shops to the captivating West Side Bazaar business incubator, new ethnic businesses are reawakening the spirit of Buffalo once more.
Visit Buffalo Niagara has just released the 12th episode of ‘Buffalo. For Real TV’. Featured is the West Side Bazaar – a series of start-up businesses housed in a collective that is now considered one of the hometown heroes of the city.
What started off as a small operation on Grant Street, has grown into a flourishing destination full of merchandise from all over the world, along with some of the best food that you will find just about anywhere. Those who have had the good fortune to walk through the doors of the bazaar are often left speechless once they encounter all of the incredible offerings found inside.
