Mentioned by Things To Do
in Buffalo, New York (NY): The Best Museums
"It can be easy to overlook the Albright-Knox’s 1962 addition, a sleek modernist marble and glass design that today hosts exhibition and auditorium space. It was designed by Gordon Bunshaft, one of the 20th century’s most prolific architects, to complement and subtly contrast the museum’s original building. Its elegance has withstood the test of time, and it remains a gem in Buffalo’s rich collection of architectural treasures."
"The Albright-Knox Art Gallery has been collecting and exhibiting art since that iconic year. The collections have included pieces from the most transcendent artists, like van Gogh, Monet, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Picasso. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday."
"The gallery's superb collection, which ranges from Degas and Picasso to Ruscha, Rauschenberg and other abstract expressionists, occupies a neoclassical building planned for Buffalo's 1905 Pan American Expo. Its temporary exhibits are particularly creative and compelling."
"An internationally recognized arts center with eight galleries, an open access darkroom and state-of-the-art computer imaging facilities, CEPA curates exhibitions of contemporary photo-related art. CEPA also commissions artists to produce new work, offers youth and adult workshops in photography and digital imaging, and hosts changing exhibitions and multi-media public art installations."
"Josh Tiessen Studio Gallery is established by Josh Tieseen, who is an award-winning international artist that is considered to be one of the top ten prodigy artists in the world and North America’s only established male art prodigy. In the “New Contemporary” trend, his creative style best represents who he is as a person as it blends meticulous dedication to intricate detail with his experiences. For this cause, there is always a personal narrative that surrounds each painting, but it is up to the spectator to solve the mystery of the scene without this comprehension."
"ArtVeritas Visual Arts Studio is a Niagara-based Art Studio operated by Beata O'Connell offering art classes, commissions, fine art, original paintings, art workshops, and online classes. Phone: +1 905-484-1027Web: https://artveritasfineart.com"
"Big Orbit Gallery is an artist-run, not-for-profit cultural center dedicated to multidisciplinary explorations of contemporary art issues, with a focus on Western New York art. With exhibitions ranging from painting to architectural installations to live sound sculpture, Big Orbit Gallery extends Buffalo’s legacy of cultural innovation."
"Just up the road from the Devil’s Punch Bowl is an angelic barn that’s home to some of the best baked goods in the city. Their specialty is butter tarts, and for good reason. These baked goods are terrific, with great pastry and plenty of options for raisin, walnut, and plain fans alike."
"This beloved kitchen was started by Ruth Anne Schriefer nearly 20 years ago. Today, her daughter Maddy is in charge of the changing plates and cocktails. But her breads and pastries are the main attractions here, often selling out within an hour of opening (and even earlier on the weekends)."
"Ruth Anne Schriefer first opened The Pie Plate in November, 2003. Schriefer grew up learning and baking traditional German-Mennonite recipes with her grandmother. Her culinary skills continued to improve in her teens while working on her families Niagara fruit farm."
"This restaurant is small, cozy and still owned by a local family. They are located off the main Niagara Stone Road that you’d likely be driving on to the old historic town. Here they grow some of the berries, herbs or veggies that they use in their menu."
"Down Lundy’s Lane is La Farina, a relatively young bakery and deli (opened in 2000) that also offers handmade frozen pasta, imported Italian groceries and an array of cafeteria-style hot prepared meals. But since the subject here is bakery, we’d be remiss not to focus on the simple staple that fuels this spot: bread. La Farina rivals Portage for the best Italian loaves in the city, with a soft, chewy crumb and sharp golden crust."
"Niagara Brewing Company proudly blends Canada’s rich brewing heritage and today’s innovative craft beer scene. Guests will find signature beers and seasonal features that have been skillfully weaved from locally sourced ingredients on the rotating taps. To round out the experience, the menu offers a selection of tasty bites like delicious broasted wings, house made guacamole & chips, giant pretzels with dips and sandwiches."
"Grab a cold craft beer that proudly represents Canada’s brewing heritage and today’s innovative craft beer scene. They’re passionate about providing the highest quality beer to enthusiastic consumers and take pride in what they do. While enjoying Niagara’s best craft beer, and no longer thirsty, you can enjoy any of their delicious menu options."
"Corks Winebar & Eatery is about creating a space where all will feel welcome anytime of the day or night. As you step into Corks you'll love the eclectic nature of the place. Take in the sophisticated look of the bar, and dining area, and embark on an evening with good food, impeccable wine and the best of friends."
