Downtown Buffalo & Black Rock | 716-219-1479
Do you enjoy throwing axes, drinking beer, and a little friendly competition? (I mean, who doesn’t?) At Hatchets and Hops, your group is paired with extensively-trained instructors, that guide your group through structured tournaments that last approximately 2 hours. Not only is Hatchets and Hops Buffalo’s first axe throwing club, but it is also equipped with a craft beer bar that also serves food, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks. It really doesn’t get much better than this!
2. Cozy up in an igloo
Ok, serious question, with how cold Buffalo gets in the winter, are we actually surprised to see igloos everywhere? I’m sure that you’ve seen the domes all over social media, or even just passing one of the many spots that offers this style dining now. These mix of dining experiences are sure to give you all the winter feels (aka dress warm). Depending on where you go, the igloos can seat different group sizes and offer different dining packages. Make sure to call or book ahead!

Do the holidays stress you out? Try spending the afternoon at Smash Brothers NY Rage Room. Their rooms are stocked with a variety of breakable things including glassware, metal drums, and electronics. The best part of it all, they provide the speaker for you to jam out to your favorite songs, and they clean up for you too! A simple smash starts at $50 and includes admission for 1-2 people, 30 glassware/ceramic/breakable items, and 1 electronic item. Depending on the amount of rage you have in your life right now, there are different packages to choose from, including group parties.
4. Hit the hills and go sledding
6121 Chestnut Ridge Rd, Orchard Park, NY | 716-662-3290
Sledding is the perfect go-to winter activity. Being from Buffalo, you probably have plenty of snow gear you can break out, so grab a sled and check out one of our favorite hills like Chestnut Ridge or Gunther’s Hill in the Southtowns and Como lake Park or Ellicott Creek Park in the Northtowns. Don’t forget to grab a hot chocolate on the way home.

5. Spend the day holiday shopping at Vidler’s
676-694 E Main St., East Aurora, NY 14052 | 716-652-0481
Picture this: snow is gently falling from the sky, you’re walking down the streets in the Village of East Aurora, a Taste Bistro Coffee in hand, the look of determination is painted on your face as you prepare to conquer all of your holiday shopping. Why not take a stroll down Main Street, shopping along the way and finally popping into Vidler’s 5 & 10 store where you can check some items off your shopping list and simultaneously treat yourself to nostalgia in the form of 10 cent popcorn, old fashioned candy bags and adorable whosits and whatsits. The two-story building has everything you could want and need. From holiday decor to old-school games, you can find all of your perfect holiday gift toppers. My personal favorite is the old-school candy bar where I stocked up on all of the unique gummy shapes and flavors. After a full day of shopping be sure to check out the surrounding boutiques to finish up some last-minute shopping, and refuel with some dinner at The Griffon Gastropub.

These luxury hotels are sleek, trendy, and usually come equipped with cool features such as amazing restaurants, cozy cafes, and pools with nearby workout rooms.

Local Pizza Joint Uses The Power Of Pizza To Help Homeless Cats
PAGE TOP
Photo courtesy of Ten Lives Club Last year Just Pizza in Amherst owner Mary Alloy partnered with a local shelter to put adoptable dogs on her pizza boxes. Her Pizza + Pups campaign was an international sensation and a huge reason why so many dogs were adopted in a short period of time. Now Mary has decided…it’s time to help the cats!
Just Pizza is now partnering with Ten Lives Club to feature adoptable cats on all of their pizza boxes and offering adopters a $50 gift certificate to enjoy a nice dinner to celebrate their new best friend!

“I’ve always helped Ten Lives Club by donating pizza to their events so when I was looking for a way to help another organization in a positive way, the work they do for cats seemed like the ‘purrfect’ fit! I have several cats at home myself and they make the best companions,” said Alloy.
Photo courtesy of Ten Lives Club Ten Lives Club says they are incredibly grateful for the opportunity and they look forward to working with Mary and her kindhearted and selfless family.

“Mary has been battling a rare cancer for months and going through chemotherapy at Roswell. The fact that she is still always looking for ways to give back while fighting this terrible disease is simply amazing…but that’s just what Mary is. Amazing,” said Ten Lives Club Public Relations Manager Kimberly LaRussa.
In addition to putting adoptable cats on pizza boxes, Just Pizza will be collecting donations for Ten Lives Club in honor of the rescue’s 20th anniversary. Learn more about the effort here, and grab a pizza here!

Get to Know Buffalo’s History: Nash House Museum
PAGE TOP
Nash House Nash House Museum / Photo x Kayla Milligan for Step Out Buffalo In the early 1900s, two of the biggest figures in African American politics were Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, and both men have historic connections to local pastor Rev. J. Edward Nash and his ministry at the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church on Buffalo’s East Side.
The legacy of Rev. Nash is on full display at his former residence in the Nash House Museum, which is located at 36 Nash Street in Buffalo, around the corner from the historic church.
Born, raised and college-educated in Virginia, a 24-year-old Nash accepted the offer of ministry at the Michigan Avenue church in 1892 because of its historic connection to the Underground Railroad. Nash’s presence and influence in the local African American community led to him becoming a popular and respected figure, with a reputation that stretched far beyond Buffalo. He was instrumental in bringing branches of both the Urban League and the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) to Western New York.
Nash House Nash House Museum / Photo x Kayla Milligan for Step Out Buffalo Advertisement
For 32 years, Rev. Nash was secretary of the Ministers Alliance of Buffalo, an influential interracial religious organization. In this role and others, Rev. Nash was able to battle injustice and advocate for various members of his community.
Through his tireless local work, Nash gained statewide and national acclaim. In 1910, his reputation led to him serving as host for a visiting Booker T. Washington. Just 9 years earlier, Washington became the first African American invited as a guest to the White House, dining with President Theodore Roosevelt in October 1901 – just one month after Roosevelt’s inauguration on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo.
Some history books describe Washington as an accomodationist, someone who argued that Black people should temporarily accept crushing discrimination measures and focus on advancing their rights though economic gains. Put very simply, Washington argued that collective prosperity was the path to equality, and not political turmoil and confrontational activism.
As you can probably imagine, many Black folks were not on board with this philosophy and a more activist parallel movement at the time was being led by W.E.B. Du Bois, the primary political rival of Washington. Du Bois favored Black activism and education over accommodation. Du Bois was also somewhat of an elitist, arguing that college-educated Black men should put aside personal interests and fight for equality. This position became known as the Talented Tenth, a term coined by white liberals that said 1 in 10 Black men were capable of earning a college education.
Advertisement
These contrasting (and somewhat problematic) philosophies could both be found within the ministry of Rev. Nash. Nash did formally host Washington for a speaking tour of Buffalo, but his parishioners were instrumental in hosting an iconic meeting led by Du Bois.
In 1905, DuBois held a meeting across the river from Buffalo, in Fort Erie, that would set the stage for the Niagara Movement. This highly activist movement would go on to become the NAACP. This historic meeting is said to have been held in Fort Erie to keep it secret from local supporters of Booker T. Washington.
The political intrigue surrounding two competing ideologies under the same church roof resonates in the Nash House today, and Sharon Holley, president of the board for the MIchigan Street Preservation Corporation (MSPC), recently told Step Out Buffalo about a bit of the oral history around the meetings in Fort Erie.
“There are some stories out there that say, they wanted to meet in a Buffalo hotel, but were not allowed,” she told us in a recent phone call. “Then, there are other stories that say DuBois wanted to meet at a resort where he could relax, and that’s why they chose the hotel in Fort Erie.
“There was a lot of things in the newspapers about who was on who’s side. Some of the papers said Booker T. was sending people into the meetings W.E.B. DuBois held to see what they was talking about.”
Early 19th-century politics was just one aspect of the life of Rev. Nash and you can glimpse the life of this towering local icon at the Nash House. Described as a time capsule, the house features pristinely preserved personal quarters and Nash’s study. A typewriter, victrola and other furnishings are all typical of pre-World War II era Buffalo. Undisturbed papers and books offer a window into the thoughts of Rev. Nash on a wide range of topics.

Due to the on-going COVID-19 situation, the Nash House can be visited in person and reservations are recommended due to social distancing concerns. There are virtual tours available of the house and other historic sites in the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor. As the entity that owns the house, the MSPC has been vital in redeveloping and restoring the Nash House and other aspects of the historic corridor.
In speaking about that herculean restoration effort, Holley largely credited community advocate George K. Arthur, who recently passed away.
“He was a major force in establishing the Nash House Museum, through vision for what the house would become – a historic place on Buffalo’s East Side,” she said. “So, since his transition we’re still trying to continue that mission and follow up with what we can. We can’t walk in his shoes, they’re too big.”

This Renovated Bus Turned Vintage Shop Pops Up in WNY Selling Retro Goods
PAGE TOP
Photo from Blue Moon Vintage Bus’s Facebook After losing her environmental job to COVID-19 cuts, Nia Puccio was at a loss what to do with her life. So she decided to pursue her passion selling retro kitchenware clothes and other doodads – a very specific collection of goods we never knew we needed but are now desperate to get our hands on.
As you can imagine, starting a business during a pandemic is a risky move, so instead of launching with a brick and mortar space, she turned her love of Skoolies (old school buses that are transformed into tiny houses) into a business concept, using a renovated old bus as a roaming shop. It wasn’t long before she had purchased a small bus, removed the seats, and installed shelves and racks to get Blue Moon Vintage Bus on the road.

Photo from Blue Moon Vintage Bus’s Facebook Photo from Blue Moon Vintage Bus’s Facebook Photo from Blue Moon Vintage Bus’s Facebook The bus started parking outside local small businesses, selling retro goods like the Scoop Shop in the Elmwood Village. “Nia, the purveyor of Blue Moon Vintage, has filled her repurposed school bus with fun and useful mid-century tchotchkes. Blue Moon Vintage is one of the best things to come out of 2020! Hop on the bus and take a trip down memory lane,” said Scoop Shop owner Wendy Reed.
“I’m obsessed with all things mid-century and decided to stock my bus with that,” Puccio said, “It had this effect that I didn’t expect, COVID has been tough on people, and that has made them nostalgic for a better time in their life.”

I love those customers who tell me stories of the things I sell that they had growing up.”

New: Vice Will Satisfy Your Craving to Step Out with Food, Drinks, & Vibes
PAGE TOP
Vice / Photo from Vice’s Facebook During the last eleven months, many of the cheap thrills we’ve relied on to keep our sanity have been stripped away: loud music on a thumping sound system, posh settings, good looking people mingling at the bar, a bit of friendly competition and the night pulsating with endless possibility.
Walking into the new Vice on Pearl Street in downtown Buffalo, you’re quickly reminded of nightlife in The Before Times. Optimistically speaking, as COVID numbers drop like a stone and restrictions slowly get lifted, Vice and cosmopolitan places like it are well-poised to give us what we’ve been craving.
Vice / Photo x Brett Llenos Smith Advertisement
During opening weekend, the vibe was probably the best ‘stepping out’ experience that COVID restrictions could allow. The bar started getting busy around 3 p.m. and stayed popping until closing time, at 11 p.m. The dinner crowd started filing in around 5 p.m. and full trays of food buzzed around tables from that point forward. Parents, kids, single ladies, geeks, Boomers, bros, hipsters, chefs, musicians, restaurateurs and even celebrities all made socially-distant appearances.
View this post on InstagramThe bar-restaurant is a front-and-center tenant in the burgeoning food and entertainment complex at 500 Pearl. With two bocce courts, murals from local artists, modern décor, a curated whiskey list, brick oven pizzas and gourmet burgers, Vice fills in a lot of boxes on your Modern Hospitality Concept bingo card.
Speaking recently with us, co-owner KC Mullett said the goal of Vice is to be as approachable as possible. The menu includes popular contemporary items like burrata, charcuterie, burgers, fish tacos, and wood-fired pizzas. Wines and whiskeys are the major focus of the beverage menu. Although the goal is for Vice to be a nightlife destination, there’s also a kids’ section for the lunch and dinner crowds.
Vice / Photo from Vice’s Facebook Vice / Photo from Vice’s Facebook Vice / Photo from Vice’s Facebook Vice / Photo from Vice’s Facebook Advertisement
“(Approachable is) the term we like to focus on, as far as the menu, as far as how we operate – just all-around approachable,” he said. “We’re going to have a great section for $20 bottles of wine and a reserve list on whiskeys. But overall, everything will be approachable.”
Mullett also owns the popular Williamsville restaurant Neat, and while the two are quite similar concepts, Mullett said he’s looking to be a bit edgier, a bit trendier in the downtown location.
“At Neat, we’re in the suburbs so we can’t get as creative as we’d like to,” he explained. “So, we’re going to take a few more risks as far as cocktails and bring in some whiskeys that people haven’t heard of, staying in that trendy niche.”
As a concept, Vice squeezes neatly into the larger 500 Pearl entertainment complex, and the restaurant’s identity was definitely molded to suit the much grander vision.

“With the bowling alley, Patrick’s Rooftop Bar and all the event centers they have here at 500 Pearl, we kind of just worked on the fly to match the vibe,” Mullett said.
The response, both in-person and on social media, has been resoundingly positive so far and Mullett said he plans to respond by expanding operations, as conditions will allow.
“We’re really looking forward to starting up lunches soon, once everyone comes back to working downtown,” he said. “Also, we’re starting brunch service on Sundays.”
