Had a nice walk up and down the strip checking out the shops. Haven't done that in many years and was glad to revisit an old favorite.

There are soo many boutiques, restaurants, and shops on Elmwood that I couldn't list them all. It is an amazing place to shop for any holiday or occassion. I go year around just to spend a lazy Saturday or Sunday walking, eating icecream, and window shopping.

Although spread out, great shopping...women a "must stop" is "Presence Unique Clothing". As the store name suggests pieces are very unique and sales staff are very helpful! Had dinner at Coles, plenty of beer selection and fantastic burgers.

An enjoyable part of town. Shops, bars, restaurants, cafes for all ages and lifestyles. Be sure to look at the architecture on the side streets and take a stroll on Bidwell and Chapin parkways.

Lots of nice locally owned shops and restaurants. Shops seem to close early, I thought was kind of strange before the holidays. It's one of my favorite parts of Buffalo. Parking kind of stinks. Have to park on a side street somewhere.

No big box stores or chain restaurants here. Great shops and hometown restaurants. There is a farmers market on the weekends on Bidwell Parkway in the summer and great Christmas shopping in the winter. This is the place to go if you want a truly unique and thoughtful gift for your loved one or yourself. This is probably THE best... More

This area is truly a class act. Many boutiques with quality, quirky merchandise, lots of artist made items, great variety in dining in all price ranges, and one of the region's best Toy Store, the Tree House.
