Buffalo
The second-largest city in [wiki=4692a7a2757984125aa1e7f78462fe43]New York State[/wiki] and situated in the [wiki=31e21edb6b29fe5f14e0ea220c001c7d]Niagara Frontier[/wiki], Buffalo is a city full of surprises. Though Buffalo is often the butt of jokes about chicken wings, its long-suffering sports teams, and the mountains of snow under which it is buried each winter, local residents and others who are in the know tell another story: one of great nightlife, good museums and cultural attractions, and tight-knit neighborhoods with community spirit and a real sense of place. A great part of Buffalo's appeal to many visitors is the still-palpable sense of its history as an important industrial center. Historic buildings and sites around town tell the story of a city that was great once and has all the tools in place to be great again.
