Habitat for Humanity ReStore

Wherein Habitat for Humanity operates what basically amounts to a huge thrift store for furniture and housewares: the shelves are stocked with gently used (and some new!) chairs and tables, sofas, bedroom sets, lamps, cabinetry, doors and windows, building materials, and appliances donated to them by the public. Best of all, this place operates with very little overhead — it's staffed by volunteers, so almost all the money you pay goes to help Habitat for Humanity build new homes and rehab old ones to help out the less fortunate.

Address: 1675 South Park Ave.
Getting there: Metro Bus 14, 16, 19 or 23
Hours: Tue-Fri 10AM-6PM, Sat 9AM-6PM

Griffin's Irish Pub
You'll find a friendly (if decidedly earthy) experience at pretty much any Irish pub you may happen across in South Buffalo, but if that gregarious camaraderie is an especially important element of the bar experience for you, put Griffin's near the top of your list. And if you're interested in dipping your toes into the local and regional craft beer scene — say, with a Ringside Irish Red or something from Flying Bison — but don't want to get too crazy with it, do the same. (And if not, don't worry: you'll still find Irish pub staples like Jameson whiskey, Guinness, and all your favorite big-brand domestics on tap too.)

Buffalo Irish Center
Aside from the scads of Irish-American not-for-profit groups who have their home offices here (such as the Gaelic-American Athletic Association and Rince na Tiarna Irish Dancers), the Buffalo Irish Center also includes a pub which, every Friday and Saturday night, plays host to live music featuring local bands of diverse genres — everything from country to hard rock to Dixieland jazz. For those in the mood for something more Irish, head down to a seisiún if you're in town at the right time: held on the third Sunday of each month, these hoedowns of traditional music, dancing, and storytelling feature Guinness on tap and plenty of merriment.

Side by Side Antiques
Side by Side is headquartered at an unassuming little shop at the north end of Abbott Road, but don't be fooled: this place is a powerhouse, stocking a huge and wide-ranging selection of antiques sold both in-store and through a thriving eBay business for fair and honest prices. Specialties include an amazing selection of hard-to-find coins, stylish vintage jewelry, and furniture and decorative items with a tendency toward Roycroft pieces and other Americana. Side by Side also offers free appraisal, and will buy your antiques as well — anything from single pieces to entire estates.
