Buffalo, NY

If you specifically want wings you can go to Gabriel's Gate or Bar BIll. GG is right in the city where Bar Bill is 20 minutes or so south of town. Don't go to Anchor Bar.

Elmwood and Hertel are the trendiest parts of town with great restaurants and bars. You could pick one of those streets to just walk around and explore. Allentown is the heavy drinking spot and is usually a drunk mess on weekends with bars open until 4am. Allen Burger Venture is an awesome restaurant in that part of town.

Niagara is a tourist trap. It's pretty but heavily commercialized and overrun with clueless tourists. You could drive up and spend some time looking at it but be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Hopefully the weather should be pretty nice when you arrive. It's been a long winter and we've still been floundering in the 40s/low 50s lately.

If you're looking for something to do and have a car I'd recommend Letchworth State Park. It's an hour away and features some great hikes and scenic waterfalls. It's called the, "Grand Canyon of the East." You could do that and hit Bar Bill on the way back.

Nice, good to know I'm not alone up here. I'm in the Elmwood Village. You?

If you see a guy walking around the area with LSU or syracuse stuff, it's likely me. I'll suggest a meetup once a, it's nicer out and b, i'm no longer infected with a swollen adam's apple. You golf?

Buffalo, like a lot of Rust Belt cities, is working to find a new identity. Classic architecture, ethnic neighborhoods and some decent, blue collar food (beef on a weck, Ted”s). Niagara Falls is a must see if you haven’t seen it. Yes, the Canadian side is better than the American side and yes, it is touristy. You’re visiting, not moving there.
Also, check out Niagara- on- the Lake. Quaint town in Ontario, with more high end food, etc. You can also visit the vineyards where they make ice wine, if that’s your thing.
