“Buffalo offers a lot of wonderful boutique fitness studios! For weight training and high intensity workout classes, I enjoy Revolution, Sweat Society, and F45. For hot yoga, I recommend Power Yoga Buffalo and YogaSix!”

"Cycle the Erie Canalway Trail! It goes all the way to Albany, with plenty of detour options for wings, garbage plates, or frozen custards, depending on your WNY culinary preference."

“Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just starting out, I highly recommend exploring these great trails: Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Niagara County, Erie County Forest’s Old Scarbuck Trail in southern Erie County, Rock City and McCarty Hill State Forests in Cattaraugus County, Reinstein Woods in Cheektowaga, and Delaware Park in Buffalo.”

“Central Rock Gym (CRG) Buffalo is a great place to meet new people! Conveniently located next to Resurgence Brewing Company, you can get in a great rock-climbing session and then head over for some brews and burgers. No matter the season, the rock-climbing gym is always open!”

“Buffalo Golf and Social is the perfect place to shake off the winter doldrums. This virtual driving range and golf simulator lets you practice your swing on dozens of courses—all while enjoying a cold beverage and good company!”

"The Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens is a beautiful oasis in the city. The vibrant displays of flowers and plants are breathtaking, and the themed gardens offer a unique experience with each visit. The conservatory's architecture is both historic and beautiful, adding to the charm of the place. It's a fantastic spot for photography and a leisurely stroll. The gardens also host various events and workshops, so you can learn about plant species from around the world. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and connect with nature, especially in the winter!"

“The Buffalo Botanical Gardens offer a warm and colorful escape from winter—closer and more affordable than a trip to the tropics!”

“The Tifft Nature Preserve is a perfect place to reflect, find peace, and connect with nature. With five miles of trails, diverse wildlife, and educational programs, it offers something for everyone. In the winter, you can even rent snowshoes when the snow reaches a certain depth. It’s my go-to spot when I feel overwhelmed or just need time to think.”

“On a hot summer day, nothing beats the thrill of the Whirlpool Jet Tour in Lewiston, NY. Zooming through the Niagara River’s rapids is an unforgettable experience—made even better by stopping at The Silo afterward for a burger and a milkshake.”
