An awesome place to hang out to view the lake. There is a small beer garden and adirondack chairs (or muskoka chairs for you Canadians). You have to take the Queen City bike ferry from Canalside (you don't need a bike to take the ferry) or you have to go all the way around which is a pain. There are a lot of bike paths from here as well along the water if you're into that.

I had to tag a specific theater, because Airbnb couldn't find the theatre district. However, there are over 25 professional theatres in Buffalo, and Shea's brings in national touring shows. If you are interested in seeing a show, you can easily find quality theater here! We both are involved Buffalo theatre, so just ask us what the hot shows are.
