The Hatch

Name: The Hatch
Address: 329 Erie St., Buffalo

The Hatch is the snack bar at the Erie Basin Marina, serving tasty burgers, hot dogs, fries, and a wide selection of ice cream and other frozen treats. The real appeal of The Hatch, though, are the lovely lake breezes and the stunning waterfront views that grace its visitors on hot summer days. This is why the Erie Basin Marina is popular not only with boaters but also with joggers, sunbathers, and people-watchers. Convenient to the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park and all downtown attractions. Watch out for seagulls!

William K's
Though its dining room is gifted with spectacular views over the harbor, William K's follows through with an experience that's a cut above other waterfront eateries that often use said scenery to justify high prices and mediocre food. The smallish menu is an innovative take on the upscale steak-and-seafood model with the balance tipped toward the latter: grilled Spanish octopus over chorizo and chickpea stew is a unique combination of flavors and textures, and a changing selection of fresh seafood from the Gloucester Fish Market makes up the "Boston's Finest" platter. Those on a budget can choose from a range of brick-oven pizzas with some unusual toppings (how about bone marrow, smoked tongue, horseradish, and pecorino romano?)
