 The Art of the Brick
Named one of CNN’s Top 10 "Must See Global Exhibitions", THE ART OF THE BRICK exhibit by artist Nathan Sawaya takes LEGO® bricks from child’s toy to sophisticated art form and beyond. The world’s biggest, most elaborate display of LEGO art features brand-new, never-before-seen pieces. Groups can also see some of the world’s most famous paintings and sculptures, including da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, van Gogh’s Starry Night and Michelangelo’s David, recreated and re-imagined using LEGO bricks. The exhibition runs February 9 – May 4 at the Buffalo Museum of Science; take the kids or grandkids! Group tour rates offered.
 Public Art Trail
The public art scene in Buffalo is exploding. Every month brings a new installation that’s adding color, texture and unexpected forms to the city’s streets and public spaces. Propelled by the Public Art Initiative at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo’s streets and neighborhoods are becoming an urban museum of vibrant contemporary art. Both local and visiting artists are using the Buffalo streetscape as a canvas for self-expression and civic beautification. Stop to view one or make a day of it seeing it all!
 Buffalo Wing Trail
The Buffalo Wing Trail is a tribute to one of North America’s favorite foods, the Buffalo wing, first created here in 1964. It shines a light on a dozen spots around the region with amazing wings, a great atmosphere and intriguing backstories that visitors might not have known about previously.
For foodies and travelers looking for the real thing – a genuine regional culinary culture– the Buffalo Wing Trail is a slice of Americana that should be in the same category as Kansas City barbecue or Louisiana Gumbo.
