Set beside the restful waters of the elegant Buffalo River, the Canalside which was also referred to as Erie Canal Harbor was officially made open to the public on July 2, 2008. This harbor was of prime importance in the 19th and 20th centuries, as it served as the Canal's western terminus at that time, thus contributing richly to Buffalo's financial development. As the centuries went by its significance waned and hence was converted into a tourist attraction by 2006. As of today, the site houses a wonderful blend of historic structures, contemporary masterpieces and scenic sights such as the HarborCenter, the Erie County Naval and Military Park, Central Wharf and Commercial Slip to name few. The harbor is open throughout the year.
What was recently a notorious red light zone in Buffalo's downtown has been transformed into one of the hottest night-time districts in the nation. Stretching west from Main Street on Chippewa all the way to Elmwood Avenue, the area features every type of bar and night club imaginable-from the live jazz of the Calumet Arts Club to the latin rhythms of La Luna. Just around the corner is the Theater District, featuring performing arts spaces such as Shea's, and the Irish Classical Theatre Company.
