That would be great if it was Buffalo Bison's season! We had season tickets last year that we could have shared with them on that day but - I mean exciting stuff to do in winter. We all know of the MANY events, attractions, things to do in Buffalo during the summer, but what about the winter where things slow down with the weather? Aside from perhaps a Sabres game and a night out to eat at a 5 star restaurant downtown, any attractions elsewhere in downtown that would show off our city in a unique way in a day?

The only thing I've found so far in downtown is touring the Naval Museum, perhaps taking in the view from the top of City Hall.

We do need more attractions in Buffalo that make us unique from other cities. Speaking of the City Hall observation deck, I must say it is quite a fun venture to walk up every stair in the building and climb to the observation deck then take some pictures - walk down back to the ground, and eat as many Original Anchor Bar wings as you'd like!

I love your energetic, happy attitude  . That would be great, if only I could ice-skate, lol  . But, I love to go to Rotary Rink in Fountain Plaza to watch and look at the wonderful light up Christmas tree, the many people having a great time, and the many, many, many holiday lights that inundate the city!
