Derrick "Omakase" C.'s Profile

24 Hours in Buffalo

This list is for the out-of-towner - If you travel like me, you plan your day around food. You spend your day bouncing from eatery to eatery, averaging 5-6 meals/day. The goal: To hit the top local hot-spots without breaking the bank.

1. Charlie the Butcher's Kitchen

1065 Wehrle Dr
Buffalo, NY 14221
(716) 633-8330

Categories: Sandwiches, American (Traditional)

1/6/2010

I'm a recently converted fan of the Beef on Weck and a regular at the Charlie the Butcher stand at Wegmans in Amherst but I finally decided it was time to try the real thing. Compared to Wegmans, the roll here is definitely saltier and not sure that…More »

2. Maid of the Mist Boat Tour

151 Buffalo Ave
Niagara Falls, NY 14303
(716) 284-8897

Category: Boat Charters

2/15/2011

A must for Falls visitors - $13.50 gets you the boat ride + access to the observation tower. Be careful of water damage to your camera/phone though. I feel like they could charge a lot more and get away with it. Best way to experience Niagara…More »

3. Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, ON L2E 3G4
Canada

Category: Landmarks & Historical Buildings

Canadian side much better than American side. You get a view of both falls and it's gorgeous.

4. Wegmans

675 Alberta Dr
Amherst, NY 14226
(716) 831-6300

Category: Grocery

Update - 2/13/2011

The burrito stands are so popular now that there are no longer any Charlie the Butcher stands in Wegman's. They have chefs making daily specials of pastas, paninis, etc. made to order.

And live jazz? Seriously? What will they think of next?

5. Duff's Famous Wings

3651 Sheridan Dr
Buffalo, NY 14226
(716) 834-6234

Categories: American (Traditional), Chicken Wings

8/23/2009

This was the first restaurant I went to in Buffalo and I didn't think much of it. I've never been to Anchor Bar but I'm interested in testing out the difference between the two. It might just be me but it seems like the appeal is just based on hot…More »

6. Anchor Bar

1047 Main St
Buffalo, NY 14209
(716) 886-8920

Category: Chicken Wings

Neighbourhood: Main Street

10/6/2009

It was cool to see the birthplace with all of the neat memorabilia plastered on the walls. But as far as the food went, the wings were minimally better than any different than any other wing I've had. I might be the only person to comment on a…More »

7. Spot Coffee

765 Elmwood Ave
Buffalo, NY 14222
(716) 332-4564

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Elmwood Village

5/9/2010

The most popular coffee shop in Buffalo is always bustling. Free wi-fi and plenty of tables/booths/outlet plugs makes it a nice place to study on the Elmwood strip. The baristas and workers have plenty of personality often yelling out your order in…More »

8. Pearl Street Grill & Brewing Co

76 Pearl St
Buffalo, NY 14202
(716) 856-2337

Categories: American (Traditional), Breweries, Bars

Neighbourhood: Downtown

8/23/2009

A fairly standard bar with a pool table, darts, and air hockey upstairs. Nothing really stood out to me except for the painfully slow bartenders. However, I recently discovered that there are 4 floors and that there's a tucked away outdoor bar on…More »

9. Allen Street Hardware Store Cafe

245 Allen St
Buffalo, NY 14202
(716) 882-8843

Category: Bars

Neighbourhood: Allentown

9/19/2010

If you're a fan of live music and/or old school hip hop, Hardware is the place to be. I've never had a bad time there as the crowd is always laid back and unpretentious. However, I wish the place was a bit bigger and boo to the $3 cover on Sat.

10. Jim's Steakout

92 W Chippewa St
Buffalo, NY 14202
(716) 854-6666

Categories: Sandwiches, Fast Food

Neighbourhood: Downtown

This post-Chip Jim's hits the spot. Pricey for the Stinger but it's a must unless they're having a promotion on the Chicken Finger Sub.
