  • If I had to choose a place in the city, I would pick Spot Coffee on Elmwood. I like to sit down at one of the outside tables to eat lunch. Spot is a great place to “people watch.” And you usually end up talking to an interesting person sitting at the next table.

  • The best place to eat outside at UB would have to be at the fountain down at the Jacobs Executive Development Center, located at the corner of Delaware and North streets in the heart of the city. The grounds at the JEDC, which houses the core of UB’s development team, are beautiful and showcase Buffalo’s past, as well as its emerging future.

  • The Commons near the water fountains is beautiful in the spring, summer and fall—as long as you can find an empty bench. Outside Baldy near the playground is nice, too. It is fun to watch the children playing.
