Events

[CELEBRATION] Call it an open house for City Hall this Saturday. The second annual Take Another Look, an event designed to showcase a slice of Buffalo at its best during a weekend when many visitors and former residents are in town, is turning the venerable art deco masterpiece into the star of the show. In the vaulted lobby food and drink vendors will welcome visitors while 15-minute docent-lead tours from Preservation Buffalo Niagara will usher folks through the building while coffee and desserts will be available on the 28th floor observation deck, which will be open throughout the evening. Buffalo Public School students will be performing live music and showcasing visual arts and NPR’s Story Corps will be on hand to record stories for the Great Thanksgiving Listen. Looking Backward afficiandos alert: A “Name the Place” quiz will take over Common Council Chambers in the 13th floor, challenging participants on Buffalo’s history. Get there early to catch dusk over Buffalo’s westerly skies from the 28th floor.
