Have you ever been a tourist in your own neighborhood? See something new, try a new restaurant, or shop in a new store. Living in Western New York many think of Buffalo right away, it is after all the 2nd largest city in NY, the Big Apple has us beat just a bit.
The surrounding area is filled with great towns and villages. One town is Williamsville NY. Main Street is lined with cute shops. You can find Clothes, Jewelry, Art,Toys, and many Cafés .
This past weekend I decided to visit Break'N Eggs a charming Creperie. Went on a Saturday during brunch hours, was about a 20 minute wait. I like being able to see everything the chefs do in their open kitchen. I ordered Warm Granny Smith Apple with Maple Syrup and whip cream and a Dulce De Leche with apple candies walnut and caramel sauce. DEVINE! The little bit of tart from the apple paired well with the sweet caramel.
After such a rich brunch, I needed to move (so I would feel less guilty about those calories)
Right off of Main St is a little park, A gem I've herd about for years but only discover myself last year. Glenn Fall, there are several ponds and concrete walking paths. The water fall and beautiful blooms make it a favorite backdrop for many wedding parties and family portraits.
What makes your town unique? What do you love about living in your town? I think could visit every small town and village surrounding Western New York and find a new gem every weekend.
