Name: Bob & John's La Hacienda
Address: 1545 Hertel Ave., Buffalo
Telephone: +17168365411

A newly remodeled dining area boasting several high-definition flat-screen TVs which are inevitably tuned to the big game (this place is understandably popular during Bills and Sabres seasons) is the setting where patrons of Bob & John's La Hacienda enjoy simple yet delicious items such as subs, wraps, burritos, a small selection of salads, pizza, and stromboli. A particular specialty at Bob & John's is the chicken wings, which come in a wide variety of delicious sauces including classic Buffalo, barbeque, Cajun, and Jamaican jerk (boneless "wingdings" are also available). A modest range of simple entrees, comprising mostly pasta dishes as well as a locally renowned fish fry that's available on Fridays, is also on offer; at lunchtime, a buffet is offered featuring pizza, soup and salad.

Wellington Pub
Wellington is a "pub" almost in the UK sense of the term, offering not only fried appetizers and bar snacks to eat but also full meals of hearty stick-to-your-ribs comfort food: changing daily specials include pot roast on Thursdays, a "chef's choice" of chicken or pork dishes on Saturdays, and some of Buffalo's best fish fry on Wednesdays and Fridays. But the specialty of the house that Wellington is best known for are their burgers: choose from a range of creative options on the regular menu that are all cooked to perfection, or show up on Sundays for "Crazy Burger Night". All this in a chilled-out and unpretentious setting that reminds you of what Hertel was like in the 1980s.

Wellington Pub
If you're looking for a fantastic voyage into the deepest depths of Buffalo's craft beer scene, prepare to be disappointed: Wellington's beer list is tiny by the standards of Hertel, and sticks mostly to the big-name brands. Nonetheless, it's a pleasantly unpretentious environment in which to kick back with the neighborhood Joes and catch the game on TV over a cold drink and a hearty meal of old-school pub grub.

The Pasta Peddler and Blackbird Sweets
Husband-and-wife team Eric and Andrea Amodeo operate two artisanal food shops in one lovely Hertel storefront: the former's stock in trade at the Pasta Peddler encompasses not only a line of handmade gourmet pastas (linguine is the most popular variety, available in a variety of flavors) as well as gourmet goodies like imported olives and oils, flavored balsamic vinegars, honey, and artisanal fruit butters. As for Andrea's half of the operation, Blackbird Sweets offers a wide range of gourmet baked goods that deliver, in her own words, "confection perfection and wow with every bite". The specialty of the house are cupcakes that come in a diverse selection of flavors, crafted so artfully that one reviewer described being hesitant to bite into them. Consensus says that the cake has real heft to it and the frosting is not overpowering in its sweetness.
