UB Law Community Favorites

“The Buffalo History Museum is a great place to explore exhibits and artifacts that tell the story of Buffalo. From prehistoric relics and colonial artifacts to industrial-era goods, historic photos, and modern sports memorabilia, the museum takes you on a journey through the Queen City's rich history.”

“Living on Hertel Avenue during law school has been an incredible experience. The neighborhood is vibrant, filled with restaurants, boutiques, antique shops, and unique local gems. Some of my favorites include Bertha’s Diner, Daisy’s Doghouse, Little Club, Tee’s and Taps, and Lake Effect Ice Cream. No matter the season, there’s always something happening—from the festive Tree Lighting in December to the lively Italian Heritage Festival in July.”

“If you have a full day to explore, consider visiting the Buffalo AKG Art Museum in Elmwood Village. Recently expanded, it showcases a diverse collection of modern and contemporary art. For architecture enthusiasts, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Darwin Martin House in the Parkside neighborhood is a must-see.”

“Elmwood Village offers countless things to do, from charming coffee shops to unique boutiques—there’s always something new to discover. Café Aroma is perfect for a morning coffee, but it also serves some of the best wine and cocktails, making it a great spot to enjoy live music or poetry.”

“Elmwood Village is home to cultural landmarks, small businesses, and fresh eateries that highlight some of the best goods and flavors Buffalo has to offer. I often find myself thrifting and shopping here—and I always stop by The Intersection, a tiny café, for the best lattes in the city.”
