Elmwood Village
Buffalo's most lively neighborhood, with independent shops, cafés, restaurants and Victorian houses lining Elmwood Avenue.
Elmwood Village stretches about 2.5 kilometers along Elmwood Avenue and was once named one of the best neighborhoods in the United States by the American Planning Association. Lining the street are independent bookstores, vintage shops, boutiques, cafés and restaurants from around the world. The side streets are filled with well-preserved Victorian and Arts and Crafts houses. The north end connects to SUNY Buffalo State, the AKG Art Museum and Delaware Park. A farmers' market is held on summer Saturdays, and the Allentown Art Festival takes place nearby in June. It is ideal for a half-day of leisurely strolling and dining.
