Doc Sullivan's

If you're looking for a spot with that classic Abbott Road not-quite-a-dive-but-certainly-not-fancy ambience, you'll find this place to your liking, with a couple of local craft beers on tap to boot. But if you've heard of Doc Sullivan's for any reason, it likely has to do with Smitty-style wings, South Buffalo's unique alternate take on the chicken wing. Though Nine-Eleven's iteration is better-known among locals, Doc's wings are said to be the truest to the original Smitty's Tavern recipe — and when the Food Network series Burgers, Brew & 'Que wanted to investigate Smitty-style wings, they came here. If you're intrigued, come on a Monday or Tuesday, when they go for 50¢ each and draft beer is $1 off.

Park Edge Sweet Shoppe
Despite coming under new ownership a couple years back, Park Edge Sweet Shoppe is a real throwback, with the old 1950s-vintage recipes and ambience retained from the original even as new innovations have been added to the mix. Compared to Ko-Ed Candies down the road, the goods here are more diverse and more reasonably priced. Homemade sponge candy is indeed a specialty — unusually, it's sold here in narrow sticks, sort of like Kit Kat bars — but you'll also find other confections in dark, milk, white, and orange chocolate, rich butter toffee, candy apples, cookies (courtesy of Cookie Expressions), and even flowers and other non-edible gifts.

Cazenovia Park Falls
Ask locals about Cazenovia Park Falls and you'll likely get little more than quizzical looks: even more so than Buffalo's other natural waterfall, Forest Lawn Cemetery's Serenity Falls, this is truly a hidden gem. Strange, because it's easily the more impressive of the two — by comparison with its counterpart which is little more than a series of rapids, the horseshoe-shaped Cazenovia Park Falls is a six-foot (1.8-m) vertical plunge along Cazenovia Creek over a ridge of dark, oil-rich shale. The scene at the falls is a very changeable one — after heavy rains the falls might be temporarily submerged again, and during the dry summer months the flow often slows to a trickle, but come at the right time and you'll bear witness to a lively affair of trout or bass jumping up the cascade as anglers try their luck.
