June Eating/Drinking/Dining News
Our mission: Construct a monthly list of new openings- restaurants, food trucks, cafes, pubs and breweries, etc. from the previous month. Instead of undertaking the nearly impossible task of predicting which restaurants will actually open in the upcoming month, we decided this strategy would be more valuable for everyone involved. With bureaucrats, bankers and bean counters, unpredictable weather and contractors involved, it’s hard to say when a restaurant is opening until it is already in fact open.
Disclaimer: We recommend you call ahead to be sure you’ll find an open restaurant upon your arrival. Good Luck! Drop us a line at info@stepoutbuffalo.com if we missed any June openings/closings.

Taste of Puerto Rico

One of two Puerto Rican food trucks to open in the past month, which we’re very excited about. One thing we know, these guys HAVE hit the streets in June. Some things we don’t know…. how to find out where they are, where they’ve been, what they’re serving, and how to get their food. If anyone can help us out with this – email info@stepoutbuffalo. #itshouldntbethishard
