I’m leaving town at the end of the month to take a position in Pittsburgh. This is a list of things I always thought looked cool or wanted to do in Buffalo (or just need to do again). If you have suggestions, I’d love to hear them — let me know on Twitter. Only condition is don’t be cliche.

– Drive Niagara Falls Boulevard from one end to the other

– Have wings at Anchor Bar

– Have beef on weck from Charlie the Butcher

– Get one of those giant beer tubes from Pearl Street

– Find out what the big deal is about Sky Bar

– Find out what the big deal is about shopping at the Salvation Army

– Sit in the front row behind the visitor’s dugout on a mostly empty weekday afternoon Bisons game

– Play a round of golf

– Go to the casino

– Lick a melting ice cream cone on the roof of Mississippi Mudds with the sun reflecting in my eyes off the river

– Dress sharp and go to open houses in nice developments and pretend I’m rich

– Find out how to get on Strawberry Island

– Walk to the end of Bird Island Pier

– Ask out a girl who’s way too pretty for me

– Possibly incorporate the preceding bullet with any of the four above it

– Help a complete stranger

– Wear a suit all day just because

– Go to the top of City Hall*
