11 New Eats for Local Restaurant Week
Western New York Local Restaurant Week has returned in full force for the fall of 2019. For visitors to Buffalo, it’s a delicious (and affordable) way to experience the the diverse and growing food culture created by talented local chefs. For me, it’s an excuse to eat out on the town more than I normally do!
At over 100 restaurants strong, this year’s Local Restaurant Week lineup may be the best one yet (full list here). From traditional Buffalo delicacies to fresh seafood, Asian fusion to Mexican favorites, you might have a tough time picking just one place to chow down. And while there are some mainstay restaurants back on the roster, we’re highlighting the new kids on the LRW block. Here are 11 places making their debut for the fall edition of Local Restaurant Week 2019:
