Buffalo, N.Y., is a wonderful place to live. In the summer we have a beautiful waterfront with tons of beaches to take the kids. We also have terrific restaurants of many different cultures. There is a cruise that you can take around the harbor and up to Niagara Falls (which is only 20 minutes away from downtown). The fall in Buffalo is gorgeous with the many different rural areas that you can go that host a festival every weekend. Winter is the most beautiful season here in Buffalo. We get a TON of snow, which allows to participate in the outdoor skating rink downtown. We also have a festival of lights in historic Delaware Park. There are a bunch of ski places (at least 10 within one hour from downtown). As you can see, Buffalo is a beautiful place to live and visit. I was born and raised here and would never want to live anywhere else.
