If you know of any Buffalonians living in New York, it's your duty to tell them about this party now!
The third annual BUFFALO TAKES MANHATTAN party, which benefits PUSH Buffalo, is coming up on Saturday, September 19th in Manhattan. This year's party will be held on the 33rd floor of a Times Square skyscraper bedecked with Buffaloniana like a Wall of Heroes featuring the likes of Irv Weinstein, the French Connection, Commander Tom, Lucille Ball, the Earl of Bud and others as well as photo exhibits of Buffalo neighborhoods and industrial sites by Lesley Horowitz and Whitney Crispell.
As in past years, hundreds of Buffalo natives and fans will feast on wings from three "Buffalo bars" in NYC-- McFadden's, Atomic and Bonnie's--along with pizza from La Nova. Labatts and Flying Bison will be imported.
Rabbi Darkside, a North Buffalo native and internationally known hip-hop artist, will anchor the entertainment, which will also feature DJs Kevlar and LoPro spinning eclectic sets of soul, funk, jazz and Buffalo favorites. In party years, the party transitions to a dance event around midnight.
This year's guest of honor is famed playwright A.R. Gurney, whose more than 30 published works, including several set in Buffalo.
Buffalonians making the trip down for the party are encouraged to make it an all-Buffalo weekend in NYC by watching the Bills-Tampa game at any one of the six Buffalo bars in the boroughs that serve as homes away from home for diehard fans.
Raffle items include Bills and Sabres tickets and memorabilia; gift certificates to more than twenty Buffalo restaurants and museums; and unique items like a collection of Buffalo poetry donated by Will Creeley, poet Robert Creeley's son.
