Franci by Nicole Davis

Nicole Davis' jewelry has been worn on the catwalk during Fashion Week in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, seen in the pages of Vogue and other international magazines, and spotted on the necks and wrists of celebrities worldwide. And now she brings that same top-shelf design to her shop in the Market Arcade, where the creative, one-of-a-kind pieces on offer are better described... well, the website says "wearable art that immediately makes every woman on whom it's adorned feel like royalty", but a fairer assessment would be "a little on the gaudy side, but not tasteless or tacky by any means".

Buffalo Barkery
If its name brings to mind a bakery for dogs, that's entirely intentional: the Buffalo Barkery offers a line of homemade dog biscuits and treats made with all human-grade ingredients (and without preservatives, by-products, or unnecessary fillers). The "Buffalo" half of the moniker is done justice as well; specialty biscuit flavors include beef on weck and Buffalo chicken wing, and they also sell a yummy pumpkin treat in the shape of Canalside's own Shark Girl. Beyond the realm of the edible, you'll also find a range of squeak toys, shampoos and grooming supplies, and accessories for dogs and cats too — all manufactured in the United States.

Pattaya Street Food
Gourmet Lao Foods opened their own freestanding restaurant (see above) in 2018, but the West Side Bazaar stall where it all began remains in operation — albeit with a new name — serving delicious bubble teas, Laotian desserts (including dok jok, the crispy, coconut milk-infused cookie that they're most famous for). Plus, as if to make up for a weak point in most of the International Kitchen's other food stalls, Pattaya stocks a cooler with a full range of bottled soft drinks.

BFLO BOHO
The website says it best: "regardless of what Wikipedia says, 'boho' was not invented by Sienna Miller or the Olsen twins". Instead, the Bohemia that Jodi Mohn Griggs brings to Buffalo is the original one — since 2015, she's partnered with some of the last traditional jewelers and glass artisans in the mountain village of Jablonec nad Nisou to bring their wares to Buffalo, first at the East Side's Broadway Market and now at a brick-and-mortar location on the Washington Street side of the Market Arcade: one-of-a-kind buttons, brooches, pins, necklaces, earrings, and other jewelry imported from the Czech Republic and sold for prices that won't break the bank.
