Buffalo, NY

united states

Buffalo anchors western New York where Lake Erie meets the Niagara River, just 20 miles from Niagara Falls. I-90 and I-190 form the main highway network, with the airport 11 miles east of downtown. The city's famous lake-effect snow creates some of the snowiest winters in America, while the Elmwood Village boasts one of the country's longest strips of independent local businesses.
