While I don't have a LO yet I am glad to know that when the time comes I should be able to get it there! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1501050 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:30:31 +0000 GrapeCrush 1501050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Costello: oh yes, Antoinette's!! Yummy! </p> <p>@californiadreams: if it's nice out when you come, you can go down by the river and there is a river walk. A couple restaurants there could be open(they are seasonal, ice cream and burgers/hot dogs) it's nice down there too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500916 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:01:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 1500916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GrapeCrush: yes, please! Let me survive this semester, and I'm game :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500882 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:54:47 +0000 Costello 1500882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I would suggest a trip to Ted's for hot dogs and Antoinette's for ice cream. Eight years later and I still think about their sundaes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500841 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:48:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 1500841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: there are lots of great restaurants downtown. I haven't been to many(I live in the suburbs, and frequent there more). </p> <p>@LovelyPlum: yes to a meet up! I'm going to want to meet your squishy newborn! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500827 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:45:47 +0000 snowjewelz 1500827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my friend was in school in Buffalo she took me to Duffs! </p> <p>@locavore_mama: I didn't know you hail from Buffalo! Very cool :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500810 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:41:50 +0000 petunia354 1500810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: OMG. I don't think I could handle the 2 of them together all dressed up!! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500774 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:35:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1500774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: In case you were wondering about the stroller bit. Both of my Uppababy's are American, I brought them both over and didn't have trouble either time. The restrictions are on car seats and cribs. I think there is some confusion at the border with travel systems.</p> <p>Also, BuyBuyBaby will price match, so if you find a coupon off UppaBaby from pishposhbaby, giggle, amazon wherever...they'll give you that price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500769 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:33:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1500769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Does O need a date to the wedding? I'll drive L down! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500735 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:28:48 +0000 petunia354 1500735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing! We are going to be in Buffalo in December for my brothers wedding (future SIL grew up there)! We'll definitely be looking for restaurants and stuff to do while we are there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1500662 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:13:15 +0000 californiadreams 1500662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I love the idea of a summer meetup if we come back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1499069 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 15:22:10 +0000 LovelyPlum 1499069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're here, too! I've not lived here as long as @locavore_mama, but it's a really fun place to visit :) If you come back in the summer, we should do a meet-up outside. The parks are a lot of fun in the summer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1499056 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 15:17:19 +0000 californiadreams 1499056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: thanks for the tips! I will have to think through the stroller before going....</p> <p>@tinyperson: @Mrs. Pen: thanks :)</p> <p>@locavore_mama: thanks so much for the tips! I think i want to stay closer to downtown. I was looking at some hotels on Delaware Avenue. Good to know that the malls are not too far - so maybe I can pop over to Buy Buy Baby (been wanting to check out that store since we don't have it here). </p> <p>We are planning to go for 2 nights. Who knows, if we like it, maybe we will go back in the summer! We live so close. I was just looking for a quick n easy getaway for our anniversary so that's why we are going in April. Would that children's museum be fun for a 17 month old?</p> <p>As for food, believe it or not, I don't like wings! So that's not why I am going to Buffalo! Other than that, we like almost every other kind of food, so any downtown recos would be good. Maybe I will get in touch after I pick a hotel and will want to find something walking distance :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496943 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:38:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1496943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: @Mrs. Pen: is right. ;)<br /> Where do you like to be? Closer to downtown, Ie closer to smaller locally owned restaurants or closer to bigger strip malls where babies r us, buy buy baby will be? </p> <p>With that being said literally everything is a "15 min" drive away. ;) </p> <p>What kind of food do you guys like? I have tons of food recommendations!! We have tons of great restaurants around here! </p> <p>Anchor bar wings are actually just OK imo. LA. Nova has better wings and so does Duffs. Although I would not recommend eating in Duffs. But there are so much more good food here than wings!</p> <p>A trip to the acclaimed Wegmans is definitely in order. And if you're wondering what the hype is all about trader Joe's there's one just blocks away from babies r us and buy buy baby.</p> <p>How many days will you be here? Delaware Park is beautiful and there are some great museums nearby. There is a great children museum in East Aurora called explore n more. In the same village is a great little old school "nickel &amp; dime" store. The village is really cute . Depending on where you stay East Aurora is about 20-30 minutes. I wish you were coming in the summer! Summer here is absolutely perfect. Mid April is still little yucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496884 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:58:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama lives in Buffalo! She loves it and would have tons of suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496874 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:47:34 +0000 mrswin 1496874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: We go shopping in Buffalo a couple times a year so my suggestions are as follows.</p> <p>1. Niagara Outlet Mall (<a href="http://www.fashionoutletsniagara.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fashionoutletsniagara.com</a>)<br /> has some good stores, I usually get stuff for my niece and nephew at Carters or Children's Place, make sure you have a general idea of how much stuff is here so you know if you are actually getting a deal </p> <p>2. There is a pretty big Babies R Us in Buffalo (1569 Niagara Falls Blvd, Buffalo, NY 14228) in the same plaza a big Target and other stuff, this is one of our must stops every time .</p> <p>3. Buy Buy Baby (1261 Niagara Falls Blvd, Amherst, NY 14226) is supposed to be good too.</p> <p>A word of warning. My cousin tried to get her stroller in the US and the lady told her that you cannot bring it across the boarder (they will confiscate it!) because it doesn't have a Canadian Safety stamp on it!!!!!!! She ended up just buying it here and asked at the border if she could have brought it back and the guy she got didn't know......</p> <p>ETA: maybe you leave your stroller for you LO at home and purchase the Uppa, use it while you are there, and then bring it back with you that way........ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496867 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:33:12 +0000 californiadreams 1496867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496863 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:28:24 +0000 tinyperson 1496863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No suggestions - I used to go with my mom, grandma and great aunt when I was little, but haven't been in years. Hope you have a great time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496859 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:26:30 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1496859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anchor Bar for wings ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496853 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:17:53 +0000 californiadreams 1496853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: mid-April </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496852 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:17:27 +0000 Dandelion 1496852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time of year are you going? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-staywhat-to-do-in-buffalo#post-1496824 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 12:52:55 +0000 californiadreams 1496824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I decided to do a mini getaway for our anniversary in Buffalo just because we live near by and have never been. We want to keep it low cost. Can anyone give me some tips on where to stay and what to do there?</p> <p>On a side note, i know i will be doing some baby shopping - can you also tell me the best US stores to get baby gear? (I live in Canada and am planning to use this trip to purchase my much desired uppa baby vista!)</p> <p>ETA: we will be traveling with our LO, who will be 17 months when we go. </p>
