WINTER IN BUFFALO ISN\u2019T FOR EVERYONE. BUT YOU\u2019RE NOT EVERYONE, ARE YOU?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Buffalo is embracing winter like never before. The city has reinvented itself, reinvigorating its neighborhoods, redeveloping its waterfront and creating a host of new ways to enjoy its most renowned season. While most cities hunker down during the winter, Buffalo welcomes visitors with its signature warmth and friendliness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LET IT SNOW<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the temperatures drop and the flakes begin to fall, true Buffalonians get outside and make the most of it. Snowshoeing, skiing and sledding abound at spots like the\u00a0Tifft<\/a>\u00a0 and\u00a0Reinstein Woods<\/a>\u00a0Nature Preserves,\u00a0Kissing Bridge<\/a>\u00a0Snow Sports and\u00a0Chestnut Ridge County Park<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 all within 45 minutes of downtown Buffalo. Niagara Falls State Park becomes a winter wonderland as the mist from the mighty cataracts freezes on all the trees above \u2013 and if it\u2019s especially cold, the falls themselves appear to freeze. \u00a0And after a day out in the cold, warm up in the evening at \u2018Gardens After Dark\u2019 under the tri-domed glass conservatory of the\u00a0Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HEARTY FARE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Buffalo is the \u201cComfort Food Capital of America,\u201d according to Arthur Bovino, author of the book Buffalo Everything \u2013\u00a0<\/em>and our renowned winters may be the reason why. From spaghetti parm at\u00a0Chef\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a layer of cheese broiled over a plate of pasta and served with a side of marinara sauce \u2013 to the\u00a0Friday fish fry<\/a>\u00a0served at pubs across the area and the rich and frothy \u201cTom & Jerry\u201d seasonal cocktail, \u00a0this city rallies around food and drink that will \u201cstick by you\u201d during the coldest of winter days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
