The clothing, the shoes, the way that perfect accessory makes you feel, adding that finishing touch to your outfit. Well, it’s time to kick your wardrobe into high gear, and explore the undiscovered fashion Buffalo has to offer.
Call it the insiders guide to an emerging fashion scene that is filled with unique shops, boutiques, cafes, art galleries, restaurants and bars. Buffalo is a thriving center for creativity. Local designers are crafting and selling their wares in some of the best boutiques in Buffalo and beyond. If you’re looking for some of the finest malls, outlets and truly decadent shops, the Queen City will have you dazzled. And because Buffalo is sprawling, we’ve broken it down for you, and rounded up the best of the best, for a simple but serious Buffalo shopping experience...
The best of city shopping can be found in the Elmwood Village, a vibrant neighborhood recently voted one of the ten great neighborhoods throughout the United States by the American Planning Association. The neighborhood's main thoroughfare, Elmwood Avenue, is a funky yet chic strip of mostly independent, home-grown shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars. Just a short ride or walk from downtown, the Elmwood Village offers a charming slice of city life.
Or sample the shops in the quaint Village of East Aurora, home of the Roycroft Campus, a national historic landmark. Here you'll find antique dealers, art galleries, an old-fashioned five and dime, ice cream shop, toy store and much more along a charming Main Street that recalls an era of simple pleasures and genteel pastimes.
If treasure hunting interests you, peruse the antique stores and furniture galleries of the city's Allentown neighborhood and Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo. In the nearby Town of Clarence you’ll find a Sunday morning mega flea and quaint antiques shops chockablock full of treasures
And for an authentic taste of Old World charm and ethnic cuisine, check out the Broadway Market, one of the oldest continuously-operated public markets in the country, located on the city's East Side. Order a heaping plate-full of Pierogi, a Polish stuffed dumpling, for lunch and treat yourself to the powdered pastry known as chrusicki for dessert.
Continue your hunt and head to the Walden Galleria, the largest shopping center in the Buffalo Niagara region with more than 200 stores, services and restaurants. The mall is currently undergoing a $60 million renovation and expansion. The expansion has already brought in major retailers including Coach, Michael Kors, Sephora, Anthropologie, H & M and Urban Outfitters. Restaurants include The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang’s, The Melting Pot, Hyde Park Steakhouse, Bravo! Cucina Italiana and services like EFX Currency Exchange. Exciting new shops are opening soon including White House Black Market and Free People!
Other Buffalo shopping centers include the Boulevard Mall in nearby Amherst, McKinley Mall in Hamburg and Eastern Hills Mall in Williamsville. Outlet shopping at Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA is second to none with an immense variety of coveted brand name retailers.
