Buffalo grew rich as the western terminus of the Erie Canal and a center of grain, steel and shipping, and that wealth left behind an exceptional collection of architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, H. H. Richardson and Louis Sullivan, plus a park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Today the economy leans on health care and life sciences around the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, the University at Buffalo, banking, with M&T Bank headquartered downtown, and cross-border trade with Canada over the Peace Bridge.
Western New York is a long way from the state’s other population centers, about seven hours by car from New York City, and nonstop options to smaller cities are limited. Flying private lets you link Buffalo directly with other manufacturing and financial centers, with Albany or with the Northeast corridor, and be home the same day. Visitors come for Niagara Falls about twenty miles north, the reborn Canalside waterfront, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Bills and Sabres games and the city’s famous chicken wings.

Things to do in Buffalo
When to go. Summer is Buffalo’s secret, with warm, sunny days moderated by Lake Erie, outdoor concerts at Canalside and the Garden Walk Buffalo tours of private gardens in July. Late summer and early fall are also prime for Niagara Falls. Football season fills the city on game days from September onward. Winters are long and snowy, especially south of the city where lake-effect bands can drop several feet at a time.
