Episode 150

While spending two and a half weeks in Western New York, I set out to complete what I called Day Trip Palooza: four day trips within 90 miles of our home base.

Did it go according to plan? Not exactly.

In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when weather, holiday hours, work schedules, and real life got in the way, and why two great day trips turned out to be better than four rushed ones.

Join me as I recap visits to:

  • East Aurora, home of the historic Roycroft Campus and the famous Vidler’s 5 & 10
  • Buffalo, where we tackled the great wing debate and visited the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum
  • Fairport, a charming Erie Canal town where a last-minute pivot turned into a fun afternoon.

Plus, in this Snack Society Field Report:

  • Duff’s vs. Anchor Bar
  • The history of Buffalo wings
  • Beef on Weck
  • Buffalo’s beloved sponge candy

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need a perfect itinerary—or even a full vacation—to discover something new.

You ready? Let’s roam.
