Being a border town, we have a lot in common with our friends to the north. We used
to make our own beer, till we tried Labatt and Molson (I got scolded " buy real
beer" once in line when I was holding a 12 pack of Coors"). We also grew up
on Hockey Night in Canada, and we are the home of the French connection. Heck,
Quebec is not that far off. We say 'Pop' when we want a soft drink, unlike our friends
downstate, and pretty much other Americans that say 'Soda'. We know how to
drive in Winter (well most of the time)... and appreciate the seasons. Most of us
have been to Toronto, Molson park, Algonquin park, and a lot of us have relatives
in Ontario. Many of us have cabins up north, and some, like me even have a doctor
who is Canadian! haha. Many people in the southern states have no idea of the advantages
we have up here, and unlike them, we benefit from them. Many famous Canadians live
here, Scotty Bowman the most winning coach in hockey history. Marcel Dionne (who
was quoted as saying "Buffalo is the best U.S. city" , many former Buffalo Sabres
and even Wayne Gretzky grew up just a bit north, watching Eyewitness news as a child.
Of course, our favorite donut shop is Tim Horton's, this is probably the only place
in the states where Duncan comes in second., sorry Duncan. Harry Neale long time
analyst for Hockey Night in Canada lives in Buffalo and is now broadcasting in Buffalo
with our very own Rick Jeanerette. On TV we share the PBS (Public Broadcasting System)
channel, in Buffalo its channel 17, look it up in Ontario. Heck, we even got
the Honor of being the home to Labatt
Blue U.S. Headquarters, (they say no one drinks more Labatt in the states
then Buffalo).
Home to the Canadian Consulate
embassy of Buffalo, and The closest large American city to Toronto, Montreal,
and Ottawa, we definitely show the influence!

The QEW, Queen Elizabeth Way, connected Buffalo and Toronto, when both cities
were the same size population wise and area wise, way back when. The "Queen E" is
a great thruway, setup, well lit and maintained. It is possible to go between the
two cities in 90 minutes and still be in legal limits, that's day or night. Keep
in mind most of it is on the Canadian side which means you can take advantage of
the more lax speed laws in Ontario, and still have a choice of 4 bridges when you
get to Buffalo.
Unlike Toronto, Buffalo is not as aggressive advertising, so I will give you some
info, so you can take full advantage if you guys decide to come down to Buffalo
for some fun, and great deals.
With the exchange rate basically at Par, there was never a better time to have fun
down here!

Tax Break:
Take advantage of the tax breaks our state sales tax (like your provincial
tax) is only about 8%. We do not pay GST. All Retail products sold have tax, food
is not taxed. |
|
|
Liquer Tax: Additional
liquor tax is not taken on meals in restaurants. Liquor sales are totaled up as
part of the meal. Tax is added to the final total. |
|
|
Beer Sales: Most
of our beer in Buffalo runs about $12 to $15 dollars a case. Obviously the longer
you stay here you more you can carry back. The best way coming over the bridge is
the Peace Bridge duty free hands down.
Save your money and go to that if your coming, instead of the beer store. Once your
over, if you want liquor or wine, go to
Gates Circle Liquor on Delaware Avenue for the best prices and selection.
If you want beer, any Wilson Farms, any Gas Station or even a Pharmacy sells beer
In Buffalo. Sales are forbidden after 3am and before 9am Sunday.
|
|
|
Gas: Gas prices
in Buffalo run about .72 cents a litre. There is roughly 4 litres in a gallon. Our
gas prices are still displayed in Gallons, so just divide by 4, when you see the
sign. For our Gas prices check out http://www.buffalogasprices.com/.
Leave home with a half a tank and fill up here and save cash! |

Sabres Tickets:
I am pretty sure Sabres tickets are sold online at par, for
Sabres , Bills or
Darien Lake tickets please check the online sites.
|
|
|
Events: For stuff
to do, one of many places check out the
Gusto Online. Also check the other pages of this site for food, festivals
etc. |
|
|
Bridge Crossing:
For bridge crossing please call 1-800-715-6722. Many times one bridge is crowed
while the others are clear. For webcam check out the
Peace Bridge website. |
