Famed Upstate NY Buffalo Wing Event One of USA's Top 'Food Trail'

You may have participated in a bar crawl during your life, but have you ever experienced a food trail?

It's a pretty simple concept: you and your hungriest friends travel within a town or city, and sample a certain type of food at a number of different restaurants. Buffalo, NY has a well-known food trail, so well-known in fact, that it's been recognized among the best of its kind in the country.
