Coming from out of town?

Buffalo is a short drive from Toronto, Rochester, Syracuse, Cleveland and Pittsburgh! We often say that "everything in Buffalo is at most a 20 minute drive" and it's true! You can't really go wrong with where you're staying, but here are a few suggestions for hotels:

​

Home2 Suites by Hilton Amherst Buffalo

3820 Ridge Lea Rd, Amherst, NY 14228

8 minute drive

​

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tonawanda

2400 Niagara Falls Blvd, Tonawanda, NY 14150

1o minute drive

​

Staybridge Suites - Amherst

1290 Sweet Home Rd, Amherst, NY 14228

One Canalside, 125 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14203

16 minute drive

​

The Westin Buffalo

Buffalo is gorgeous in the summer! There is so much to do, and so much good food to eat. Here are some local places to get you started...

​

Local attractions:

Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin Martin House

Canalside

Niagara Falls

Coming with kids? Explore and More: The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children’s Museum

​

Restaurants:

Ghada Have It

Falafel Bar 

India Gate

​

PIZZA... oh yeah, we've got good pizza here. Try Bocce's or LaNova.

​

How can you come to Buffalo without getting wings? While Google searches might lead you to believe that Duff's and the Anchor Bar are the best in chicken wings, those places are more for tourists! Try out Gabriel's Gate in Allentown or Bar Bill. Real Buffalo wings come with blue cheese, not ranch. ;)

​

It's no secret that Kenzie loves donuts, and donut lovers coming to town HAVE to stop by Donut Kraze. Right down the street from the studio on Main St in Tonawanda!

​

We can't wait to see you and dance with you with Aziza in Buffalo!
