For architecture, it is one of America's best cities. The Guaranty building, Ellicott Square building, and City Hall are peaks of the art, plus there is lots of Frank Lloyd Wright. There are hundreds of excellent residential homes, off of Elmwood for instance, but all over town. Elmwood itself is a fun, walkable area. There are two good art museums, plus a strong alternative culture scene, low rents, and lots of art galleries. It feels more like the Midwest than say New England and the people are friendly and relaxed. Food is not exceptional although meals can be had. If you're not into architecture I would describe a city visit as optional, but for me it was a must.

Hopefully you saw one of the nearby NATURAL wonders as well….Niagara Falls?
Actually, the Buffalo accent is more northern NY and norther Ohio than Midwest.
I once defended some companies in an antitrust investigation in Buffalo, and one of the clients took me around to the architectural highlights. This is a great historical city for several reasons. It was a major transshipping point to the Midwest in the early 1900s–cargoes of expensive furniture stayed in the city. It was a vibrant industrial city as well.
It’s fortunes changed with th St Lawrence seaway and the demise of the old steel industry. Like a European city whose river acceaa to the ocean is silted in, this city has some old and really neat buildings. My wife always wonders why I want to visit Buffalo, and I will show her your post.
Why did they visit you?
Buffalo is Great Lakes–like Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh–or Rust Belt, if you prefer. Definitely not New England, or East Coast like NYC or Philadelphia. I am from there, and no one thinks of themselves as mid-west. Mid-Atlantic, maybe.
I think landscape is part of it. Buffalo, like other cities along the Great Lakes, is relatively flat and expansive (climb to the top of a 4 story building and you get a great view of the city). That’s a trademark of a midwestern city.
Pittsburgh, with it’s rolling hills, tunnels and bridges, reminds me more of a large Appalachian city than a midwestern/great lakes city (same thing with Cincinnati).
