There are two new patios in town, that just happen to be at two great places to eat and drink in the city. Betty's on Virginia has built a wrap around patio replete with flower boxes, a beautiful garden, and patio umbrellas. Whether you are there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this beautiful corner enclave offers an expansive view out onto the surrounding peaceful neighborhood. Betty's is one of the Buffalo's best new eateries. The roast chicken salad sandwhich is a great lunch choice, as is the Love Sandwich for breakfast. Betty's is now serving beer and wine as well.
Just around the corner on Delaware you will find Prespa. The owner just built a cozy streetside patio which overlooks the avenue onto a few of the most incredible houses/mansions in the city. Prespa serves up fantastic panini sandwiches as well as gourmet pizzas and crepes. The wasabi roast beef panini comes highly recommended at this hip lounge...as does the Chamay Rouge beer. If you have not had the opportunity to stop into either of these relatively new bistro/lounges, then I can only hope that the new patio installations will motivate you to check them out. Betty's is located @ 370 Virginia (362-0633) and Prespa is located at 439 Delaware (842-2255.)
