My recent trip to Buffalo included:
-attending the Bruce Springsteen concert
-and eating. (this doesn’t surprise you, right?)
The day went like this:
2 pm – Anchor Bar…no need for an explanation.
3 pm – Teds’ Hot Dogs. It was customer appreciation day and I couldn’t resist a bargain ($1 a hot dog). Despite the HUGE line up, it was well worth it.
4 pm. – Andersons Frozen Custard. Guess what? It was snowing when we walked in. #scored
730 pm – Bruce Springsteen Concert….who played for 3 hours straight. What a performance.
Midnite – Gabriel’s Gate. In my humble opinion, this was the perfect post concert snack.
The following day included one more restaurant. We went to this cool bakery/cafe for some wicked toast and coffee. I fell in love with the building …and the bread.
Five Points Bakery
Can’t wait to go back to Buffalo!

Lately I’ve been in the mood to share more personal information about myself, and not just recipes or new food products that I love!!
Here’s another true story:
I’m a 47 year old woman who has been to three (that’s right : t-h-r-e-e-) concerts in her life.
1. I went to see the Bay City Rollers with my parents and my sister, in the late 1970’s.
2. I went to see Dire Straits in Israel in mid 1980’s with my good friend, Suzi.
3. I went to see Rod Stewart with my mom in the late 1980’s
That’s it. Oh I saw Sonny and Cher as well, but that wasn’t really a concert and I was probably 8 yrs old so Im not including it.
Going to see a concert was on my bucket list in 2012 and was one of two items that I did not cross off my list. Till now that is. ! Finally on Feb 16th, 2013, I went to see a concert. Are you doing a happy dance for me? I hope so!! I can now proudly say I’ve been to FOUR concerts in my life!!
I went to see the spectacular Bon Jovi at the ACC – thanks to a tweet from @meredithheron. She had two extra tickets that I was all too happy to buy (in a nano second).
My friend and I loved the concert. Indeed he’s an amazing performer and a talented singer too. (ok he’s a qt as well – I’ll just throw that in).
I hope it’s not another two decades before I see another concert!!
PS what concert do you think I should go see next?
