Timeline

  1. 11:00

    Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum

    Arrive at the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum right when it opens. The museum is small enough to see everything in an hour, but going early lets you enjoy the historic artifacts in peace before the afternoon visitors arrive.

  2. 12:00

    Chef's

    Walk five minutes to Chef's for lunch. This Italian restaurant has been serving hearty, adventurous family-style meals since 1923. It is the perfect spot to refuel after the museum, with a menu that goes beyond standard fare.

  3. 12:45

    Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park

    Walk fifteen minutes west to the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park. Stroll past the historic warships, including the USS Little Rock, and enjoy the maritime atmosphere adjacent to Canalside.

Local tip
