✨ Buffalo is fresh off the press and just in time for summer.
On the cover, we’re celebrating 10 years of Sweet Buffalo with Kimberly LaRussa and her faithful sidekick, Chloe. For a decade, Sweet Buffalo has been shining a light on the people, businesses, and moments that make our community special.
Inside, you’ll meet Heather Goris of Nickel City Vice, whose gourmet ice cream sandwiches prove that a little creativity, a big dream, and a love of sweet treats can go a long way. We also catch up with Sierra Ross of Buffalo Besties, whose simple idea to help women make friends has grown into a movement, complete with a summer bucket list full of local adventures.
We’re also sharing stories of hope and perseverance, from Make Lemon Aide For Cerebral Palsy and the life-changing impact it’s having on local families to Hope Chest Buffalo, which empowers breast cancer survivors.
Looking for a little summer inspiration? Buffalo’s stationery scene is blooming with Graphic-Poetry, featuring journaling meetups, handwritten notes, and creative ways to capture the season. And if you’ve been thinking about lacing up your sneakers, local runner Rachel Watt shares her favorite Buffalo races, motivational tips, and encouragement for anyone ready to just start.
You’ll also find plenty of local businesses, restaurants, shops, events, and summer inspiration woven throughout the issue, giving you even more reasons to get out, explore, and support local this season.
Our Home Team will be out delivering soon, so keep an eye out at Wegmans, your favorite coffee shops, boutiques, and local spots.
