Someone at Travel + Leisure likes the Nickel City.
The travel guide recently named Buffalo as the third-most underrated city in America, saying:
Buffalo made a splash this past year, vaulting to the top of the America’s Favorite Cities list, thereby proving that every underdog has its day. The upstate New York city has developed a vibrant arts scene, ramped up its festival calendar, become a leading craft beer producer, and perfected the pizza pie (the local variety is something of a mix between New York thin-crust and Chicago deep dish).
In spite of their trendy advances, Buffalo residents have maintained an affable, welcoming attitude: T+L readers ranked them high for friendliness. And all this has happened while the rest of the country was looking elsewhere. Finally, T+L readers took notice.
The publisher also recently bestowed honors on Buffalo for its pizza, calling the “distinct mix between Chicago and New York-style pies” the third best in the country. Buffalo also placed third on a list of 12 places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
