Purpose of Buffalo area web pages. These pages are an attempt to document every diner that existed in the Buffalo, NY region. There are too many diners where we only know what was given in the city directories and nothing else. Am I missing a diner? Do I have a restaurant listed that wasn't an actual diner? Do you have a question? Move over to my message board, and leave a message. Please note that the password needed is "temp" without the quotation marks. That password will work for both passwords. You will also find an email address on my message board page that you can use to contact me. Oct 17 - There is more to add, but I wanted to get the majority of the information on-line when the book "Diners of New York" comes out. Index
