Ujima is a very small theatre whose productions primarlily reflect the lives of African-Americans. It's located right on the Elmwood Strip in a small theatre setting. The theatre works to develop talent and is dedicated to the community as well, with workshops and theatre experience for youth in the local area. It is also the only professional theatre company in WNY that is dedicated to the development and presentation of work by persons of color.
The shows are very well done and the actors, actresses, and staff have such a passion for their work. This is definitely reflected in the productions. The community that goes are all there to support the theatre company and there's a welcoming feeling of familiarity and family, even if you haven't been before.

This is a modern well used facility in the heart of the University at Buffalo. They have hundreds of events a year from Broadway plays like Ms. Saigon to opera (Madama Butterfly on 10/17), performers like Bonnie Raitt and also the Margaret Mead film festival. There are actually 4 theaters and also an art gallery. Great sound. Good seating. Reasonable tickets. One of the advantages of being a UB student is access to this excellent venue for art, lectures, music, concerts and more!

Each Thursday over the summer the city puts on a musical concert in the heart of downtown at the square. IT is definately the place to be over the summer. Thousands of people flock down there - and you get all sorts of different people to the various shows.
They sell beer and pop and water and food as well - all ticket based. The bands are all varied and supported by local radio stations.
The main problem has been the great success and demand for these free concerts in recent years. The crowds seem to continue to grow - and now if you want to be able to see the stage - you'll have to show up before 6 if you want to get a good spot - but it's well worth it!
Great place to meet up with old friends and then head downtown afterwards to Chippewa and visit the bars afterwards.
The thing to do on a Thursday evening in Buffalo - period.

Thunder Bay is an interesting shop on Elmwood Avenue. The store sells a wide array of things you don’t need but would look really nice in your apartment or house. There’s something here for everyone. I’m not sure I have seen the items they carry in other stores. They also sell some interesting Buffalo related items, like unique t-shirts and postcards.

I love Studio Arena. They always have the best shows and it's so pretty inside. If you go downtown at any time during the year, I would say Christmas would be the best time. They always have the windows decorated and Stufio Arena always has a great show. If you've never been, and even if you don't like theatre, I think you'll enjoy the culture of this building.

This shop was just across my earlier home and hence I was a frequent visitor. They have some of the best audio equipment available for you. I had a party at my house and hence had gone there to buy some speakers and was awestruck by the choice they had. The shop is just awesome and the guys that run the place are really cool. They will find just the right equipment for you, and they also offer home delivery. This is the shop that you have to go to if you wanna buy some audio equipment.

My daughter had been taking dance at another dance studio, and she told me she wanted to quit very badly. When I asked why, she told me because the other girls in her class we really mean and she didn't want to go back. I told her she didn't have to if she didn't want to. She said she still wanted to take dance, just not at that studio. So I looked in the phone book and found South Buffalo'dance Depot'. So I called and she started dancing their. The price was very reasonable, and my daughter loved it. Plus she made friend the first day, and her instructor was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable towards the kids. I would definitely recommend South Buffalo'dance Depot' to anyone who wants to become a dancer or who wants to switch dance studio's

This is a landmark in Buffalo. Shea’s has been renovated over the past 10-years. This is now one of the best places to catch a show or a concert in the country. The seating is in two sections. A lower level and a balcony. Most of prices here are very reasonable for a show.

They have a decent collection of comics in here and also have a great collection of Cards. I had been there with my younger sister to get her a comic and she really did get all she wanted - helped me get her a good gift. I also landed up buying some nice cards from there. They had some nicely worded cards . The great part about them is they are located near to my place and also they have reasonable rates compared to the others locally.
