Forgotten Buffalo celebrated the 77th anniversary of the 1933 repeal of the 18th amendment, the governmental act banding sale and consumption of alcohol. We travelled to some of the oldest taverns and most unique pubs in Buffalo as we saluted our forefathers who had to endure 13 years without the right to a legal drink. Group at Dill’s Tavern in Black Rock.

June 2010 - Nobody tours the Historic Polonia District like Forgotten Buffalo! The Eastside of Buffalo is home to some of the region’s most important cultural, ethnic and architectural landmarks. With the founding of St. Stanislaus Parish in 1873, the area became one of the largest Polish-American colonies in the world outside of Poland. Forgotten Buffalo Tours shined the spotlight on century old churches, an old world public market and art-deco masterpieces.
