Summer is the perfect time to get out and savor some local flavors! With the sun high in the sky and long days ahead, we’re featuring new recipes to try at home, great places to stay and sip in the scenic Niagara River Region, and some delicious sweet treats that can’t be beat.

Check one major home project off your summer to-do list with AAA Timberline and their patio repairs and installations. Spruce up the pool deck or fire pit (check out their recent rebuild of an outdoor fireplace in Lewiston!) , and think ahead for chimney repairs, fireplace maintenance, and masonry work.

Do you find yourself on a time crunch for making meals or dread having to come up with new dinner ideas every night? Megan Vs Kitchen whips up quick and easy weeknight meals that your family will love! Based out of East Aurora, Our Ice Cream Truck is the perfect way to round out a summer evening. We’re giving a shoutout to some of Buffalo’s InstaFamous Pets! In the meantime, keep an eye out for a Little Free Library in your neighborhood!

Sweet Buffalo remembers Mary Alloy, a local woman remembered not only for her successful pizza business, but for her compassion and community involvement. This edition we explore the Upward Niagara River Region, from Lewiston, Youngstown, and the surrounding communities! Explore these gems that feature great places to shop, eat, sip, and more!

Summer’s in full swing and we couldn’t be more excited. With so much to see and do in the Buffalo area, the food scene is hustling and bustling and calling your name. We can’t wait to see you out there!
