The Other Taste of Buffalo - Bike Tour

The Other Taste of Buffalo - Bike Tour

Buffalo is a city of immigrants and its foundation was built on immigrant labor. On this food tour, we’ll explore these humble beginnings and connect the city’s history to its current influx of refugee and immigrant communities – all through the lens of its savory culinary traditions. You may not find some of the sites on our East Meets West Ride on Yelp, but you won’t regret it!

We’ll bike through the East Side and the West Side, eat an amazing international progressive dinner, and learn about groundbreaking urban farming initiatives. So come along and savor the flavors as we learn about and experience some of Buffalo’s hidden gems.
