The Pilafs ventured out to the Dome in Rochester for shot #1. We now know why Rochester is known for it’s friendly folk. Everyone was so nice! Also, they had the entire procedure moving along like a well-oiled machine. We were so impressed! We were in and out with Band-Aids on our shoulders in lessContinue reading “No Reaction?

Honkin’, Singin’ & Snoozin’
The Pilafs + daughter enjoyed a nice ride out to the Medina area over the weekend. JT was determined to get some “birding” in and hit up an Irish bar, so Dra grabbed her camera and they all flew out the door (like how I did that?) Iroquois National Refuge – Basom, NY Our firstContinue reading “Honkin’, Singin’ & Snoozin’”
And the Beat Goes On…
This weekend in March is known for fun, especially if you are a St. Patty’s Day fan. Food, drink and music! If you haven’t had the chance to try these two ideas we blogged about earlier in the year, here they are again. You could even do both in one day! #1 The Chandler StreetContinue reading “And the Beat Goes On…”
2 Thumbs Up for 2 Forks Up!
Same fabulous seafood with a brand new address. 2 Forks Up has moved to 270 Campbell Blvd in Getzville -the old Byblos restaurant location.

Did You Say PICKLE Soup?!!
For those of you who may not know, two new (ish) places are hopping in Clarence. One of them carries a fun ethnic menu and the other has literally changed direction. Morluski’s – Clarence Hollow, NY Popping up in 2020, and doing its best to ride the waves of shut-downs and regulations, Morluski’s is nowContinue reading “Did You Say PICKLE Soup?!!”
Wine and Chocolate, Win-Win!
This past summer the Pilafs were excited to hear live music safely spread out in the back of Black Willow Winery. It was our first visit and we decided to return this winter. We were so glad we did! The inside of Black Willow is cozy and welcoming. It includes a gift shop, a barContinue reading “Wine and Chocolate, Win-Win!”
Time to Celebrate Mardi Gras – Fat Tuesday is this Week!

But don’t worry, you don’t have to travel that far south to enjoy a little spice in your life. That fabulous Cajun-style cooking can be found right here in WNY.

Cheers for Chandler Street – Buffalo
On our quest to support local, the Pilafs headed down to the Chandler Street Winter Market to see what everyone is talking about. Nestled in Buffalo’s Black Rock neighborhood, this opportunity is only on Saturdays 9am -2pm. Once we got the lay of the land, we were glad we remembered our bag to carry theContinue reading “Cheers for Chandler Street – Buffalo”
Grateful for Jerry, Bourbon and BBQ- Buffalo
The Pilafs recently enjoyed an evening out on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo by revisiting our college years and jumping at the opportunity to shop for LPs and tie dyes. We topped off the night at a comfortable, refreshing, clean-lined bar with lively conversation and classic libations. Our daughter joined us and did well at toleratingContinue reading “Grateful for Jerry, Bourbon and BBQ- Buffalo”
Lights on a Dark Night – Night Out
This time of year tends to be harder on my psyche than most. I suppose it’s because it’s usually dreary and cloudy during the day, and it gets dark so stinkin’ early! There are times I find JT nodding off at 7pm in front of Hallmark because it feels as if it’s midnight. Anyone elseContinue reading “Lights on a Dark Night – Night Out”
