I have to go to Erie Pa for work and Im planning on taking a side trip to Buffalo Ny. What is there to see or do in that area?

I went to college in Buffalo so most of saw and did I can't tell you about. I was not really into doubles back then so I am not really familar with any gun shops to visit. One thing to see though is Niagra Falls. It is an amazing site. I'd make the time to go if I were in the area.

Buffalo was once one of the the most prominent cities in the country. I'm not sure that much is left though....but certainly Forest Lawn Cemetery is worth driving though. There's a place near the airport called Charlie the Butcher's - gotta have a beef-on- weck sandwich and bread pudding there.

Bob,
Niagara Falls is best seen from the Canadian side. If you cross the border its not that far to Fort Erie. Lots of old muskets and they even have live re-enacrments at times.

There's a very nice museum in Erie dedicated to the "Niagra" and the War of 1812 and at least one small, but reasonably nice, art museum. The tip of that spur of Pennsylvania is Presque Isle Park and it's an impressive place to see the waves hitting the breakwaters if the wind is blowing.
Don't waste your time on the ecology center at the entrance to Presque Isle Park. It's designed for kids.

Don't forget your passport if you plan on crossing over to the Canadian side.

Bob, if you fish, Erie is a great place, however if you're single, Erie is a really great place!!!  The wineries, I believe are also abundant in that area of New York!!

Lived in Buffalo for a bit, glad to be gone (7/20/09). Worst city I have lived in, and I am counting 2 3rd world countries on the list.
The falls are a bit north(ish) worth a trip if you have time. Ft Niagara is nice too. Niagara Falls the city is a tourist hell hole, depressed and ugly.
Buffalo Gun Center has a lot of guns, not many of note as I recall but many.
Harry's on the Harbor has a great lunch and supper. Bananas Foster on the menu.

If you cross the border, a $10 beer and a peek at the Canadian National Ballet can be uplifting.

When a student at SUNY-Buffalo I was told that the closest city was Toronto ON. Canada is nice country and you can buy Cuban products there.
