Niagara Street

GATEWAY TO BUFFALO

It’s the gateway to Buffalo from the Canadian border — one of Buffalo’s oldest streets that’s now home to some of its newest businesses. It’s also the longtime center of Buffalo’s Hispanic community – with a very distinct character and flavor all its own. Niagara Street is multifaceted and multicultural – the epitome of the new Buffalo.
