Best park in the Village of Kenmore. Tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball, you name it. Wide open field for team sports like rugby or soccer.
MANG PARK - Updated July 2025 - 105 Photos - 150 Wilber Ave, Kenmore, ...
This is in my opinion the best market in the Buffalo area. It’s like the Jr. to the Rochester public market.
North Tonawanda City Market
Breathtaking views from above the Niagara gorge. The blue waters and rapids are truly unique. Lots of stairs but also a flat trail along the top of the gorge.
Devil's Hole State Park
The beach at this park is large. The park itself has many available activities like hiking and bird watching.
Beaver Island State Park
Truly a sight to behold. Even the structure and architecture of this building is as breathtaking as the plants it holds. I went during a specific exhibit of carnivorous plants, so fun! I love that art is included and they support local artists.
Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens

So many different kinds of pizzas. Perfect for those nights you need takeout. Their menu is huge so there really is something for everyone.
I like the chicken finger and burrata pizza.
Macy's Place Pizzeria
The best Chinese food in the Buffalo area. Food is always hot, fresh, and fast! I always get the crab rangoons.
Ling Ling
This is my number 1 go-to for pho and banh mi.
Phở Dollar
A great classic Italian restaurant. Went to dinner with newly married friends and we received a complimentary bottle of champagne for the table.
Amici Ristorante
I would eat Indian every day of the week if I could. The tikka masala is great with varying levels of spice making it customizable. Their naan is the best ever.
Fastest Indian Food in Kenmore - India Star
The burger stand that always feels nostalgic. Great food and ice cream. Love a twist cone with sprinkles.
Nick Charlap’s Ice Cream
Having grown up near Syracuse and frequented the original, I was really happy when this opened in Buffalo. You have to try the wings
Strong Hearts Buffalo
Other Food & Drinks
Great beers. The bar is a really nice atmosphere. It can get loud and crowded. The food is excellent.
The BEST Sours - Froth Brewing Co.
Step back in time to the 1970s. This cocktail lounge is unique with hand crafted drinks and a chill vibe. Small inside and usually busy.
Nøwhere Lounge
I seriously want to move to Lewiston just so I can go here every day.
The Village Bake Shoppe
If you’re from Buffalo then you know Paula’s. Heck, if you’re not from Buffalo you probably know Paula’s! Alton Brown raved about them once.
The BIGGEST donuts - Paula's Donuts
Great to pick up something to make or to get food to go!
Kenmore Fish Market

They recently added a beautiful new addition.
Buffalo AKG Art Museum
This place will always hold a special place in my heart because I saw my favorite band ever there, The Weakerthans. Also caught John K Samson and Craig Finn on a solo tour. My all time favorite song writers.
Town Ballroom
GO BILLS!!
Highmark Stadium
I used to be in a bowling league that used these lanes. Definitely my favorite spot to bowl.

Truly perfect for the whole family. They often have events too.
