🦬 Buffalo This Weekend Is Bigger Than You Think

Oh, you thought this was going to be a chill weekend?

Between March Madness crowds flooding downtown, Maple Weekend, and a suspicious amount of brunch plans, Buffalo is doing the absolute most right now. It’s one of those weekends where you leave the house for “one thing” and end up doing five. No complaints here.
