My perfect day spent in the Buffalo area
Early on a crisp fall day, IÕd head out along Hertel Avenue and pick one of several great spots to have breakfast. IÕd probably take my camera and a friend with me and make the outing part of my exercise routine. Later, IÕd find something special to do with my little granddaughter - perhaps a trip out to the Village of East Aurora for a visit to Explore & More ChildrenÕs Museum. IÕd have dinner with my husband at CurleyÕs Bar & Grill on Ridge Road in Lackawanna, WeÕd head back toward home and the North Park Theater to catch a semi-mainstream or foreign film at this classic, old movie house. To end the perfect day, weÕd stop at the Shadow Lounge for a drink and a little live local music.
