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 

— 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*
