The City of Buffalo is just five miles away and it’s in the midst of a resurgence. Buffalo continues to receive accolades and honors, such as Travel and Leisure listing Buffalo as #1 on the “America’s Favorite Cities” list in 2016, National Geographic listing Buffalo as #3 on the “Top Ten Food Cities” (in the world) list in 2015 and Time Magazine including Buffalo on its top 25 list for cities where Millennials are moving in 2017.
