Taste of Buffalo offers a medley of dishes, prepared by some of Buffalo’s most renowned chefs. This year, visitors to the Taste of Buffalo will be able to vote for the AT&T Fan Favorite Food by texting the item number of the foods that they like best (text to 86677). Or send your message to the crowd by way of two giant video billboards – Twitter and Instagram #tasteofbuffalo.
Stop by New Era’s parking lot for special treats, or the lawn fete-style beer tent at Niagara East (on Niagara Square). There are activities for the kids too. Check out the live music, or simply wander around taste testing over 250 menu items.
Bring some sunscreen and leave the dogs behind. It’s time to chow down on some Buffalo favorites, along with some offerings by a few up and comers.
