Isn't this fall weather simply glorious? The leaves are changing but it's still warm enough to enjoy a meal on one of Buffalo's porches and patios. Why? Because it's Local Restaurant Week (October 17-23). Be sure to enjoy a terrific meal for just $20.16 this week!
Or a bicycle ride. Start Restaurant Week out with a Slow Roll. Start at the Olivencia Community Center (261 Swan Street) at 6:00pm. Then go to dinner.
If you're looking for a fun way to support a good cause, attend Toast to Literacy on Tuesday evening - it's at Resurgence Brewery, always a good time. And don't miss Jamaican-born Marlon James, featured Babel author, at Kleinhans on Wednesday, which just happens to be Unity Day, when we stand together to end bullying.
Get your DIY on at Adult Art Night Out at Creative Essence Craft Studio on Thursday, an evening of crafting and relaxing making cool home decor just in time for the holidays.
M&T Third Friday at the History Museum is offering a very timely Historic Elections program this month. Larkinville is hosting Truck or Treat Friday evening, or you can support Hospice by attending the Buffalo Harvest Fest at the Hyatt.
On Saturday I will be at Westminster soaking in the delightful Buffalo Tango Orkestra. But you may choose the iconic Prom of the Dead at the Dnipro Ukranian Cultural Center.
If you're looking for a delightfully scary program for the kids on Sunday afternoon, the Symphonic Spooktacular at Kleinhans is just the ticket. No little ones? Head to the Sportsmen's instead, where Female Musicians Fighting Breast Cancer will raise funds for this important cause for the fourteenth year in a row.
