If there’s one thing that Elmwood has a lot of, it’s restaurants. When it comes to eating on the strip, there are so many options, and so many shifts and changes happening on a regular basis. The busier the street gets, the more opportunities are made available. So where do you start if you’re not very familiar with Elmwood?
For those looking to dig right in, Buffalo Bites Food Tours is hosting its 5th annual food walking tour on November 29, 2014. On that day, tourists (including locals) will be able to get an inside look a few of Elmwood’s culinary destinations thanks to tour operator Laura Reed. “Our walking tours introduce people to restaurants and neighborhood they didn’t know existed and make them feel comfortable about going back to the area to eat, shop and enjoy everything it has to offer,” said Reed. “We frequently hear tour participants say things such as ‘I never would have come in here, but I am definitely coming back,’ ‘I never knew how beautiful the streets and homes were,’ and ‘I never would have tried this restaurant had it not been for this tour!’”
These types of tours are great for people who have recently moved to Buffalo, or who live in the suburbs and don’t get into the city very often. “Walking tours like Buffalo Bites have a ripple effect on local businesses and help communities to thrive,” said Reed. “We give small business owners a much-needed boost and an opportunity for them to cross-promote, so it’s a win-win situation. Food tours increase foot traffic and help businesses work together to create more exposure for an entire community!”
The upcoming tour coincides with a national event called Small Business Saturday.
