Now this is cool. Thrillist Travel has named the best places to travel alone – and it is quite a thrilling list. They named amazing locations like Seville, Spain where you can find friends, dance and share tapas. And Paris, France were you can prowl the world’s greatest museums at your own pace! You can abandon your inhibitions in Bangkok, Thailand or explore quaint villages in the coastline towns of Wales.
It all sounds so fantastic, don’t you think?!
Well, wait for it.
There are other cities on the list, too. And you know what? Buffalo, NY made the list!
They call the Queen City the perfect place to stay out until 5 a.m. with the new best friends you met at midnight.
Here is the story written about Buffalo in the article.
“In my home state of Florida, when two married couples start chatting up a solo traveler at a rooftop bar you assume you’re about to either get A) robbed or B) lured into a sex dungeon. So you can imagine my surprise when on my first night in Buffalo, as I drank alone at the Curtiss Hotel’s rooftop bar, two couples started asking me questions, bought me drinks, and never once used the phrase “so do you like my wife?” But this is how it works in Nickel City.
I spent three nights in Buffalo recently. Each night I ended up meeting strangers at bars who insisted I join them for more drinks, then wouldn’t let me leave until after closing time at 4am. People in Buffalo are the kind of genuine that folks from the coasts rarely experience, a mix of New York grit and midwestern nice whose idea of hospitality is force-feeding you Jäger when you want to go home.
The city itself is chock-full of culture, breweries, and reinvented relics from its manufacturing heyday. And all of that is fun to visit solo. But if you’re the type who wants to be embraced into the local nightlife, you’ll never find a better place. Even playing tourist at the birthplace of the Buffalo Wing at Anchor Bar, you’ll meet some people who insist you bar-hop with them through the student-and-artist-filled bars in Allentown until 3, only to find yourself cajoled into doing 4am shots at the iconic dive Pink. You might wake up with a hangover, but you’ll also wake up thinking you’ve never had that much fun with a group of strangers. At least not the kind you can openly talk about outside of Florida. — Matt Meltzer”
