Jerk's

An old-school malt shop, ice cream parlor, and soda fountain done up in a charming throwback 1950s style, serving up a wide and creative selection of milkshakes, tasty hand-mixed flavored sodas, specialty sundaes, and other treats — and for the New York crowd, Jerk's is the only place in town where you can find egg cream.

Misuta Chow's
A Japanese-style yokocho stuffed inside a cramped-looking storefront on the 500 block of Main Street? Yes, and it's one of downtown Buffalo's newest sensations. Misuta Chow's is much bigger than it looks from the outside, and its dining room serves you classic Japanese street-food specialties and customized bento boxes as you sit on bar-style seating surrounding the open kitchen, but that's only the beginning of what this place is about. Dim lighting, red hanging lanterns, Godzilla-inspired mural art, imitation sakura in bloom, faux storefronts built into the walls to mimic a Tokyo back alley, and pretty much every vintage arcade and pinball machine imaginable combine for an ambience that's as much indebted to '80s video-game culture as Harajuku.

Misuta Chow's
Johny Chow took inspiration for his namesake nightspot from his visits to Tokyo while on tour as bassist for heavy metal band Stone Sour, and sure enough, he's recreated an honest-to-goodness indoor yokocho in downtown Buffalo. So when you're in between games of pinball or Double Dragon at the arcade or after you've had your fill of Japanese noodle-shop and street-food fare, head over to the gargantuan first-floor bar where you'll find a menu of Asian-inspired cocktails, an ample range of sake, and beers on tap from Sapporo to PBR — or up the "Hello Kitty-themed staircase" to the private karaoke room on the second floor. There's truly nowhere else like this in Buffalo.
