Four Things Your Cat Would Say if it Could Talk

Four Things Your Cat Would Say if it Could Talk

(Welcome to our pet column, courtesy of Pet Connection Programs Inc. of Marilla. We post a new article each week, so be sure to check back on a regular basis!)

Of course, cats can't really tell you about their likes, dislikes, hopes and dreams. However, if they could, here are four things they might suggest to keep them happy and healthy.

Best Taste in Buffalo: Danny's

Best Taste in Buffalo: Danny's

I am nominating Danny’s on Genesee St. in Cheektowaga as the Best Taste in Buffalo. 

Danny’s has one of the best bar/restaurant atmosphere’s in the area.  This goes along with their large menu offerings as well.  They have so many spectacular items to sample.  From their famous Chicken Wing Soup to the all you can eat salad bar.  They have a wonderful Beef on Weck that’s tender and juicy. 

One of my favorites they sometimes offer as a special is a home-style Turkey dinner.  Real roasted turkey with real mash potatoes, dressing and cranberries.  Just like Thanksgiving without waiting until November.   

In addition, the service staff is exceptional.  They are always smiling and attentive, and in my opinion help make Danny's one of the best restaurants in WNY!

Best Taste in Buffalo: My Little Margies

Best Taste in Buffalo:  My Little Margies

I would have to say that My Little Margies in Depew has the BEST food in WNY.

My fiance and I have been there many times and have NEVER had anything that did not taste AMAZING! Margie has the BEST Beef on Weck, meatloaf, any soup that she makes is awesome.  She also offers great burgers and huge delicious fish fries. Everything there is fantastic!
