Northern Buffalo district is widely known by its shops. The number of them is so high that even a devoted shopping fan won’t be able to visit them all. Here you can find either small groceries or modern trading centers. As the majority of small shops are owned by the Italians, this district of Buffalo is often called “Small Italy”.
If northern Buffalo is often compared with Italy, then its southern part is more like Ireland. Attractive small houses, specious boulevards and restaurants in Irish style – when you walk in this district, you may really think you are in another country.
