About this Neighborhood

Allentown is Buffalo's storied arts-and-history district, home to the Allentown Historic District, and it wears that character well. The area holds 24 restaurants, eight coffee shops, seven groceries, five parks, a court, and a fitness spot, with 2,065 Yelp reviews landing at a bright 4.7 average. Names like Breadhive Bakery & Cafe, Southern Junction, and Billy Club headline a scene that's equal parts bakery, barbecue, and cocktail bar. Foursquare's read leans nightlife and culture: bars and beer bars, a concert hall, coffee shops, and a spread of American, Mexican, and new-American kitchens. It's a walkable, character-rich pocket where the historic bones and the live-music energy feed off each other.
