One of my favorite hockey trips was Devils vs Sabres at the HSBC Center, the Devils spanking the Sabres, massive snowstorm, and drinking and eating wings at Anchor Bar.
It really doesnt get much better than that.
The Anchor Bar is for tourists and amateurs, pretty much every bar and pizzeria in Buffalo worth its salt has better wings. If you want REAL Buffalo style wings check out Duff's, JP Fitzgeralds, Pearl Street Bar & Grill, or Bar Bill Tavern. Though all but Pearl Street are outside the city.
Make sure to check out our pizza next time you're in town - I'll put it up against anything NYC or Chicago has to offer. Probably why we have the highest rates of obesity and heart disease in the country. Check out Bella Pizza, Franco's, La Nova, and Buffalo Pizza Company.
Beef on weck too, we have really good beef on weck.
Also, all of the bars here serve Canadian beers like Labbat and Molson at domestic prices.
If you can deal with atrocious sports teams, terrible property values, sub-freezing weather 5 months of the year, unemployment, and crippling depression....Buffalo is actually a decent place to live.
