Ngesikhathi ngiseyingane abazali bami babezofaka imoto bese beqhuba iDrive Bridge kunoma yiliphi inani lamabhishi ahlanganisa ogwini oluseningizimu ye-Ontario nge-ntambama ehlobo ehlobo lokucindezeleka. Sasivame ukungena emabhishi ahlukahlukene nakumakhelwane kodwa sasingaqedi isikhathi esiningi edolobheni. Eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule idolobha lalisenhlakalweni yokubola elingenalutho. Izindawo eziningi zokugcina izitolo zahlala zingenalutho kanti isikhala esiluhlaza sasigcwele futhi sagcwala udoti.
Ngeke uthathe umuntu ohlala eholidini noma ohambahambayo emigwaqweni yaseDowntown Buffalo ngosuku lwesithathu ntambama nganoma yisiphi isizathu ngaphandle kwesidingo.
Ukusheshisa usuku olulandelayo futhi ungasebenzisa kalula usuku ngalunye lwehlobo ukuhlola indawo esanda kuvuselelwa. Sonke siyazi ukuthi intuthuko enkulu iBuffalo iyenzile eminyakeni embalwa edlule kanye namakhelwane ayeke wabhalwa noma akhohliwe aphenduke ezindaweni zangempela. I-Larkin Square cishe isibonelo esibaluleke kakhulu esivela esivela emphakathini okhungethekile wezindlu ezidiliziwe kanye neqoqo elinganakiwe kwelinye lezindawo ezingcono kakhulu zemisebenzi edolobheni. Ngezinyanga zasehlobo, amaqembu adlala emoyeni futhi ipaki ibamba i-Food Truck Lwesibili, lapho amaloli angaphezu kwayishumi athengisa ukudla kwawo. Izinkulungwane ziphuma ukuzogubha zonke izinto Buffalo kusuka kumculo wendawo kuya ukudla okuyisisekelo.
Lo mkhuba ukhula njalo ezindaweni ezihlala kuwo wonke umuzi, okuvumela amathuba amaningi kakhulu ehlobo.
Ngakho kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuphuza nokudlela ngaphandle noma ukuhamba epaki yendawo, eNew York kunenqwaba yokunikela ukuba usuku ngalunye lube nesipiliyoni esiyingqayizivele ehlobo.
Imvelo
I-Western New York yindawo enhle okumele ibe nayo uma kukhona okunye okuhlobene nemvelo kuluhlu lwakho lokuya eholidini. Kusuka emachwebeni wendawo ukuya emakhilomitha amamayela amamayela, emgwaqeni wamanzi olwandle kuze kube sezintabeni ezihamba phambili, eNew York York idolobha elizungezwe ngokuchaza inani lemvelo.
Idolobha ngokwayo laklanyelwe (nguFrederick Law Olmsted-indoda efanayo eyakha i-Central York City Central Park) ukuba ikhule phakathi kwamapaki, okwenza i-Buffalo idolobha libe nemvelo ngempela.
Ukwengeza, usakazeka kulo lonke elaseWestern New York ungathola imigwaqo ehamba ngezinyawo eyenza uzizwe sengathi awukho eduze kwedolobha, kodwa empeleni, ungaba usondelene nemaminithi amabili ukusuka. Izindawo ezihamba ngezintaba zingatholakala cishe kuwo wonke amadolobha azungezile futhi zivela emakhilomitha amafushane ukuya emigwaqweni emikhulu yamamitha ama-mile, zihamba phakathi kwamahlathi ase-Upstate New York. Kuyindlela enhle yokuzithola ekucindezelekeni kokuphila kwansuku zonke futhi ujabulele ukuthula kwemvelo.
Eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule, kutshalwa izimali zama-dollar emachwebeni ahlukene asemaphandleni afana ne-First Ward's River Fest Park, Mutual Riverfront Park, kanye namachweba angaphakathi nangaphandle. Ukugijima nemigwaqo yokuhamba ngebhayisikili inqwaba nge-landscape once-bustling industrial lands making for a backdrop emangalisayo. Ukuphakama kwezinhlamvu zokusanhlamvu kubusa ukukhanya kwalesi sigaba somuzi, okwenza indawo eyakhe ingcolile futhi eyimfihlo ibe yindawo lapho kunoma yiluphi usuku olufudumele.
I-crown jewel yesikhungo sepaki yedolobha (okungenani eminyakeni yamuva; eceleni kweDelaware Park), i-Canalside, iye yaqhubekela phambili ekuthuthukiseni kusukela ekuqaleni kweminyaka ka-2000 ngemuva kokuba idolobha lizinikezele izigidi zamaRandi ukuze lenze indawo yabendawo kanye nabahambi ngokufanayo.
Ijaji elifakwe emfucumfucu liye lafakwa esikhundleni selawned manicured kanye nemikhumbi yamabhodi, futhi umgwaqo wamanzi weBuffalo onganaki uye wahlanzwa waba yindlunkulu yokuzilibazisa. Ungasebenzisa i-kayak yosuku emanzini ngokusebenzisa ama-elevator okusanhlamvu okubusa (ukuvumela ithuba elikhulu lesithombe uma unethemba elihle lokuletha ikhamera ohambweni lwakho) noma uhambe emanzini endaweni yokudoba. Ehlobo eledlule umkhankaso omusha wawunqanyuliwe, unikeza izivakashi ithuba lokuqasha amabhayisikili edolobheni kanye nesistimu yesitimela yasungulwa ukuze kuthathe abagibeli abavela eCanalside baye echwebeni langaphandle nge $ 1 kuphela.
Amabhishi
Cishe ungaboni iWestern New York ne-Southern Ontario indawo efanelekile yokuvakasha eholidini, kepha amagquma aseLake Erie naseLake Ontario anezinhlanzi ezinamabhishi anesihlabathi-eziningi zazo ongakwazi ukuzibamba zona.
Kukhona futhi amaningana amabhishi amachibi amancane asakazwa kuwo wonke amadlelo aseduze, akunikeze ukhetho oluthe xaxa olwandle oluphuthumayo lokuphumula lonke ngaphakathi kokuhamba ngomzuzu wama-45.
Eminyakeni edlule, la mabhishi ayebhekwa njengento ehambisana nokuphunyuka kukaHuckton eNew York City, nje ukushayela okusheshayo noma isikebhe (manje sekudonswa) kusukela edolobheni. Amakhaya amakhulu ase-Victorian nezindawo ezincane zezinhlanzi zasogwini zihamba ogwini futhi ngesikhathi esisodwa ipaki yokuzijabulisa ibhekene ne-pier e-Crystal Beach. Manje, izinto zilula kancane ngaphesheya komngcele. Into enhle ngamabhishi aseCanada yilapho ususa khona abantu abangaphansi. Ibhishi lami eliyintandokazi, i-Long Beach nje nje ehamba phambili ePort Colbourne, iseduze nantangala yonke kodwa inhle kakhulu. Kuyinto ejabulisayo ukudonsa elwandle olude kangaka ukuze uthole ukuthi ungomunye wabantu abayishumi nambili abajabulela isihlabathi namanzi.
Isifunda saseFinger Lakes, kanti esincane kakhulu, sinomdlalo omuhle. Kunezinqwaba zamabhishi abeka amachibi amahle, amakhulu ngokwanele ukuvumela ukuhamba ngesikebhe nokuhamba ngezindiza.
Ukudla ngaphandle
Njengoba ngishilo, i-Food Truck ngoLwesibili eLarkin Square yi-draw enkulu yehlobo kulabo abafuna ukugcoba ilanga bese bethatha ukudla okungabizi, kodwa kunezinketho eziningi ongakhetha kuzo. Ngenkathi idolobha liyaziwa ngokuba yi-capital arctic yezwe (isihloko engicabanga ukuthi ngichitha ukuthi iyakhathazeka kanjani ezinye izinkathi ezintathu zonyaka edolobheni), indawo yokudlela yangaphandle iyamangalisa. Hamba uhambe u- Elmwood Avenue , i-Hertel Avenue noma i- Allen Street futhi uzothola inqwaba yezinketho nge-patios encane yomgwaqo noma emagcekeni angaphandle.
Isango likaGabrielle e-Allentown linikeza igceke elisekelwe eceleni, liboshwe izihlahla ezivuthiwe, futhi linamaphiko angcono kunazo zonke ezinkukhu edolobheni. I-Mac entsha ku-Hertel kanye nasezindaweni ezindala (ezivivinywayo neqiniso) i-Wellington Pub zinezikhala ezincane zendlela yokuhamba emgwaqweni eyenza abanye abantu abakhulu ababukele ukuhamba ne-pint yakho. Ukukhululeka Kwamahhala e Canalside kunompheme owenzela amanzi okwenza intambama enkulu evilaphayo ebuka izikebhe zihamba lapho uthanda ukudla kwasemini noma isidlo sakusihlwa.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi umakhetho owukhethayo uzoqiniseka ukuthi uzothola iningi lokukhetha kuzo zonke izinhlobo zokukhethwa kokudla nezokuphuza; konke okuyokwenza intambama enkulu yevila.
Amabhodlela angaphandle
Emva kwesidlo sasemini se-fresco noma isidlo sakusihlwa siqhubeke nomkhuba wokuphuza ngaphandle. Iningi lezindawo zokudlela kulo lonke iBuffalo liya emishaqeni kamuva kusihlwa, ngakho-ke noma yiziphi izindawo zokudlela ezibalulwe ngenhla zizobe ziphonsa iziphuzo ngaphansi kwezinkanyezi kuze kube sekuseni ekuseni (imishayo eBuffalo ihlale ivulekile kuze ku-4 ekuseni.) Uma ubheka ukuguqulwa kwesisindo esifundeni saseChippewa sinemibhede eminingi yokuphahlama kuhlanganise ne-Soho Burger Bar, i-Sky Bar, ne-Buffalo Proper, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ukubheja kwakho kungcono kakhulu ukuthola indawo ephahleni.
Imisebenzi
Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili edolobheni kungenye yezinto ezithandwa kakhulu ehlobo njengoba idolobha liye lachitha iminyaka embalwa edlule (kanye nezigidi zamaRandi) livuselela imigwaqo yebhayisikili kulo lonke umuzi, okwenza kube yilezi zindawo eziningana kakhulu ezihamba ngebhayisikili eMelika (qaphela Portland!).
Imicimbi yemidlalo yaseshashalazini kanye nomculo ivame kakhulu ezinyangeni zasehlobo kulo lonke iBuffalo, eziningi zazo ezisingathwa ngaphandle. I-Shakespeare ePaki eL Lewiston ibanjwa kusukela ngoJuni kuya ku-Agasti futhi idonsela esixukwini. Imikhosi yomculo yamahhala ibanjwe edolobheni le-M & T Plaza futhi kunamakhulu emicimbi ehlelwa e-Canalside.
Imikhosi
Ngingasho ukuthi iBuffalo yiyona idolobha elihle kunazo zonke emnyangweni wezemikhosi ezinyangeni zasehlobo (kodwa kusobala ukuthi ngiyaxolisa.) Kusukela ngoMeyi kuze kube sekupheleni kukaSeptemba kubonakala sengathi kukhona njalo umkhosi omkhulu noma umcimbi ozobeka isimiso sakho nxazonke. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kukudla, isiko, ubuciko noma umlando, kunezinto eziningi ezenzeka kulo lonke idolobha eligubha yonke i-Buffalo. Ithuba elihle lokuthola isipiliyoni esigcwele sedolobha, ukuzama ukudla nokudla kwendawo kusuka kubathengisi bendawo.
Kukhona umkhosi wobuciko wase-Allentown ngoJuni 11 no-12 obonisa ukuthi abaculi basebenza kusukela kuseduze nakude. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo cishe eminyakeni engama-60 eyedlule umcimbi usukhulile ube ngaphezu kuka-400. Umkhosi we-Elmwood Avenue wezobuciko, ngo-Agasti 27 no-28, umkhosi ofanayo owelula ubude bendawo yonke. Abaculi abangaba ngu-170 bahlanganyela futhi kunezinhlelo ezingaphezu kuka-50 ezigcinwe kulo lonke indawo.
Kukhona nokudla kweBuffalo ngoJulayi 9 no-10, okwenzekayo njengomkhosi wezinsuku ezimbili ezinkulu kakhulu, okubonisa ukudla okuhlala endaweni yokudlela engaphezu kwezingu-50 nezindawo eziwina eziyisikhombisa. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo eminyakeni engu-33 eyedlule, lo mkhosi ukhule waba izivakashi ezingaphezu kwezingu-450,000 (lokho cishe kabili abantu bomuzi ngokwawo.)
Okokugcina kodwa nakancane, i-National Buffalo Wing Festival eyayibanjwe ngeSonto LwaseBasebenzi ngoMsombuluko 3 no-4, iyisitatimende sangempela ngothando lomuzi lokudla (ikakhulukazi iphiko lezinkukhu). Abantu abangaba ngu-800,000 bayakwenza ukuba badle cishe amaphiko ayizigidi ezingu-4.2. Uma kungewona ukudla okuthandayo, nakanjani abantu abaningi ababukele isipiliyoni.
