Things To Do On Our Wedding Weekend

Buffalo is passionate about two things: the Bills and food. Given Molly's dislike for the Buffalo Bills, our 'things to do' is heavy on the food. However, if you do like football, the Buffalo Bills are in town on Sunday, October 21st playing the Baltimore Ravens.

Chicken Wing Recommendations

-Anchor Bar's claim to fame is "home of the original chicken wing." It is located at 1047 Main Street, Buffalo, NY. Approximately 30 minutes from the hotels in Niagara Falls.

-Despite Anchor Bar's notoriety, Molly's family believes that Duff's is the place for best wings in Buffalo (and when they say hot, they really mean hot...go for medium!). It is located at 3651 Sheridan Drive, Buffalo, NY. Approximately 30 minutes from the hotels in Niagara Falls.

Restaurant Recommendations in Niagara Falls Area

-Western Door (steak house located in the Casino)
-Red Coach Inn (within walking distance of the Casino and the second floor has a good view of the rapids)
-Water Street Landing (approximately 5-10 minute drive from the Casino located in historic Lewiston, NY)

Niagara Falls Activities

If you have never been to Niagara Falls before, it's fun to take advantage of some of the tourist activities on the U.S. side including Old Fort Niagara, Cave of the Winds, Maid of the Mist, and for the brave of heart...whirlpool jet boat tours.

If you have time though, we really recommend going into Canada (passport not required yet, but it would make it easier if you had it!). There you will find:
-a butterfly conservatory
-niagara-on-the-lake (about 30 minutes past the border)
-casino niagara (not to be confused with seneca niagara casino on the U.S. side)
-an IMAX theater
-and lots of wax museums (perhaps not the highlight of your trip!)

Between the Ceremony and the Reception

There is a couple of hours in between our ceremony and the reception. Many of the above activities may help to fill your time (Duffs is pretty close to the church if you need a chicken wing or two to tide you over!), but there are also some things within walking distance of the church if the weather is nice including:
-Glen Park Falls (turn left out of the church parking lot and it's just past East Spring Street)
-Sweet Jenny's Ice Cream Shop (turn left out of the church parking lot and left onto East Spring Street and it is at the bottom of the hill)
-DiCamillo's Bakery and Coffee Shop (turn right out of the church parking lot and left onto South Long. The address is 5329 Main Street and it is at the corner of South Long and Main Street. Try a peanut stick doughnut...best doughnut ever!)
