"Whatever you need to find!"

Elmwood Avenue is an awesome place for just about anything, most especially the nightlife. With lots of little bars, places to eat and similar things, it's a wonderful place to stay out all night and have a good time. The best part is the low prices everywhere you go on this street, you can have a good time without breaking the bank!

"Whatever you're looking for"

Elmwood Ave is another great night-life street in Buffalo. It has a great selection of bars and restaurants for happy hour, getting food, or just partying. Also on this road is one of the cultural icons of Buffalo the Albright-Knox Art Gallery which is generally worth a visit. Further down (toward Amherst) Kenmore Mercy Hospital can also be found on Elmwood.

"Elmwood avenue a great place to party!"

Elmwood avenue is a great street for happy hour after work. There are lots of little neighborhood bars and people just flock there after a long hard week of work. After a few drinks there are lots of great little friendly restaurants to visit. I love Elmwood avenue!

"Big City Life, Small City Prices"

Elmwood is one of my favorite places—there’s great nightlife, culture, some of the best urban preservation you can ask for. I’ve lived in bigger cities and Elmwood compares with the great places to see and be seen. Especially in the warmer months, it’s a great place for sitting outside with coffee or a drink. For Halloween, we did the Haunted Pub Tour through Allentown, which was really fun. It starts on Elmwood at Cozumel (go for dinner if you’ve never been there—we had the fried cactus strips and Mexicali shrimp, which were delicious—their seafood dishes are always great). Also on Elmwood is one of the best music stores for wind instruments, McClellan Music House. Stop in and support a local music store that has staff that actually know their craft.

"Elmwood a happening place."

I grew up in Buffalo and every since I can remember the Elmwood strip has always been a place to go when your looking for food or just want to party. There are many great restaurants on this strip like Le Metro which is a great vegetarian restaurant and Town Restaurant for those who love Greek food. If you love pizza you can try Avenues pizza who has been around since I was a tot. Now for those who love sweets there is this place call sweet tooth that just sell sweets. Ice cream, cheese cake, cookies, rock candy you name it they have it. This is a popular place for college student considering Elmwood is the home of the Buffalo State Bengals. No matter what you like you can find it on Elmwood from Art, to bowling to dancing. I would recommend anyone visiting Buffalo to visit the Elmwood Strip.

"If you like the nightlife."

If you enjoy going out to clubs and bars you would enjoy Elmwood Ave. It is the street that everyone in Buffalo, NY knows about. From it's busy atmosphere to it's coffee houses, Elmwood has something for just about everyone. There are many places to eat along this street and there are "cool-down" cafes to sit and have and intimate drink and enjoy some music. The clubs along Elmwood are always busy on the weekends and there is a club for just about every type of person.
