Browsing through a book store is always an adventure. But that adventurous experience is brought to a higher level when you visit Talking Leaves Books. You'll find everything from paperbacks to vintage versions of your favorite titles, not to mention a generous selection of first editions and lots more. Plus, don't miss the expansive area that features magazines and other reading items. There is also an open, comfortable lounge area for thumbing through your latest find, or you can just sit back for a while and do some people watching.

Reading about art is one thing, but seeing it for yourself takes the experience of art appreciation to a whole new level. That is the mission of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This internationally recognized museum proudly houses impressive collections of international sculptures and paintings that will captivate your imagination the moment you see them. Also, there are works from iconic artists like Picasso, Renoir, Matisse and Van Gough that are among the many highlights that you'll see in this world-class art venue.

There's something truly charming about visiting an Irish pub, and Eddie Brady's Tavern is a textbook example of such a place. This friendly watering hole recalls an early 20th century pub, complete with worn brick walls and a tin ceiling. But the clientele and mood of this nightlife venue will warm you up quickly, as will the delectable fare from the kitchen that includes excellent burgers and their signature fried bologna. Wash it down with one of the many fine ales available at the bar, and enjoy!
