While 2020 had some serious ups and downs (understatement of the century!), it’s comforting to look back at all the businesses – specifically restaurants, bars, bakeries, etc. that actually opened their doors this year. Believe it or not, the list is long and exciting and we cannot wait until Buffalo and Western New York is back open in full swing so we can fully enjoy these spots.
While some of these places are actually temporarily closed due to Covid restrictions, we encourage you to support them any way you can (gift cards, order from other locations, share/comment/like their social media posts). We have faith in the ability of the City of Good Neighbors to support local businesses in 2020 and beyond!
