I come here fairly often. I find this to be a very easy to navigate outside mall. The one drawback…read moreis there can be endless traffic here sometimes, and sometimes that can be challenging to navigate. But they have everything here from a bookstore to a supermarket to fast food to all the clothing stores you could possibly want to Lowe's.

So the Boulevard... likely getting its name from the fact that it's located ON Niagara Falls Blvd.,…read morealthough it isn't in Niagara Falls... it's in Amherst NY... about 15 minutes down the road, depending on the road. The Boulevard seems to be my go-to place. It's a shopping center. Very much like The Fountains At Farrah in my beloved El Paso. The Boulevard boasts eating establishments ranging everywhere from Chipotle and Panera Bread, to Carrabas Italian restaurant. It also houses some decent stores. Best Buy, Target, PetsMart, Yankee Candle, Home Depot, Golf Galaxy, Hallmark, Nordstrom Rack, GNC, Ulta Beauty Supply and shoe stores and clothing stores and Christmas stores and on and on.. y'all get the point. I started coming here because of PetsMart. Then because of PetsMart and Target. Then PetsMart and Target and Supercuts. Then Petsmart and Target and Supercuts and GNC... and you know, then chipotle and Panera ... then Best Buy... then the fact that it's one stop light down the road from the Delta Sonic car wash that I have unlimited membership at... which is right across the street from the Boulevard Mall which has the Bath and Bodyworks I get my wallflower plug ins at... bottom line, this entire area is kinda a one stop shop place for your needs. Oh and there's a Dicks one block away too... and that's where they need to stay, cuz they're Dicks ...

A few stores are still open though, including an Asian take-out place. First time inside this mall, and such a shame to see this place abandoned by shops and businesses, but this country loves building big to attract customers from other places, then abandon all when things aren't the best. LOTs of available parking!!!

Friday evening after work, after being chained to my desk all damn week, I wanted to get some steps…read morein while the restaurant was still making our dinner. What a wonderful experience for getting steps in! Going to the gym is super expensive, the gym is littered with other people you have to walk around, some of whom are watching political news and pretending to work our. More than that, the gym smells like sweaty people. Blech! The boulevard mall is amazing! I can run, skip, or jump through the whole place, and no one is gonna bother me. It's quiet and peaceful, UB polluted with too many stores or a loud food court that people would want to go to. Auntie Annie's smells like a cinnamon/olive oil infuser, which could be worse...! If you're looking for an indoor place to get your steps in without being disrupted by people or stores or silliness like that, this mall gets 10 stars!

This is the kind of mall you'd see in a movie. I remember going to this mall in high school and…read morecollege and it was one of the coolest places to be. Fast forward to today and it is still a cool place AND most importantly, it still is open with a bunch of new stores. I think what makes this mall special is the collection of things it has in and around it. The restaurants here are all really good if you need any ideas for dinner. The stores are all good size and there's a movie theater. That's my main reason I have been there a lot recently. It is a huge mall and they're open early for folks just to walk around before stores opening. There really is something for everyone at this mall and I am glad it's still open and continuing to keep improving with new stores opening up.

Next to the newly enlarged Fashion Outlet Mall in Niagara Falls is this mall. It's more of a Plaza…read moreto me, all stores have outside entrances with parking in the middle. There's lots here - Walmart, SAMs, Bed Bath Beyond, and my fav, Qdoba. They have lots more too. It also keeps getting new stores. This place is great for things that are not in the outlet mall, but are still low cost things, no high end stores in this plaza. Tons of parking all around.

If you go here to shop. Go early, shop fast, and leave asap. I went here on a weekend 2 weeks ago…read morearound noon and every store I walked into I was watched like I was a criminal. Sunglass hut was terrible. I tried asking a question about sunglasses when I realized both employees were stone faced watching me. Under armour store same thing....3 employees watching me look at shirt with the most obvious concerned look. Decent members of society that want to enjoy a day shopping do not need to be harassed in this manner. I guess it's true that the crime rate at this outlet mall has risen drastically. Be careful stay vigilant folks!

I knew a guy named Dan who was an alcoholic. He drank 2 bottles of Sherry a day. I called him…read moreSherry Dan. This Plaza is named after him. This is the plaza in Tonawanda that has Savers and Greek To Me, but most recently and most awesomely it has Tai Chi. The first Buffalo location of the Rochester-Buffalo bubble tea place. The food is absolutely delicious and the drinks are good too. The plaza can get a little unkempt and busy when Savers is open, but generally speaking it's a nice little spot with good access from Sheridan and Eggert.

While in the area for a work conference before Mother's Day, I came here for inspiration. They…read morehave lots of stores inside the mall and a decent food court with many options. I went on a weekday around lunch time and it was basically dead in the mall and definitely in the food court. I did see lots of empty storefronts as well, which seems to be a sign of the time for malls these days. The mall was very clean, very modern/up-to-date with the décor and a offered a comfortable, safe shopping experience. If you're in the area and need a mall to shop at, this would be the place and they would probably have what you're seeking.

There are literally more stores now closed than open. Food court area is open and many dining BUT…read morethe story of the stores is completely different. When we walked through a week ago, I counted over 14 shops closed before I lost count.

It's my Plazaure to review this Plaza, and to be the first, too!…read more Like I once said to Bono, if you join Yelp, U2 can be the first to review places! I told him that his rock star schedule and not having to work days would really give him The Edge. I think he's Mullen it over as we speak. But then again, he doesn't know me from Adam. I never really liked this Plaza very much for the longest time, because it just seemed a little corporate, and like it was trying to rip off the college students. Yotality here is pretty good but Break N Eggs? Are you kidding me? Anyway, after a hot pot place was here for awhile, and closed down, one of my favorite restaurants in the history of Western New York has moved in! China Taste is not only completely authentic Chinese food - but it's actually some of the best Chinese food I've had. Probably the best authentic place we've had in the Western New York Region, along with nearby Tasty Express. Absolutely amazing. I'm a huge fan. Get Chongqing Chicken, Lamb Cumin, and many more dishes. The design of the plaza is a little sketchy (like a bad artist) and parking is tough, but I still love coming here for that food.

So I finally made it to the formerly named Burlington Coat Factory....and was shocked to see there…read morewas a multitude of items other than coats!! Oh they had coats, and coats with designer labels at bargain store prices! One may have found its way into my closet and I do wanna say shout out to DKNY - Donna, gurl u can dee-zine! This Buffalo/Amherst location is huge, prepare to spend hours in there and not spend lots of $$. Designer coats, handbags, sweaters, scarves, Men's and women's everything. I need to go back again because we just ran out of time and couldn't see everything. Worth the drive from the 6ix

Burlington Coat Factory, which is the flagship and what the Plaza is named after. Then there is a Jo-Ann Fabric, where I've been on occasion, also very large. There's a Dollar Tree on the side near Trader Joes (across the street). There is a Corner Bakery Café right on the NFB side as well. Just down from Orangetheory is a weight watchers location, seems to get very busy on occasion. A newer place is Amherst Buffet, not sure what it replaced. Moes is on the other side of the Corner Bakery Café. Outback steakhouse is always busy here. Lots of easy parking here makes this Plaza easy.

If you love architecture and history, you must pay a visit to the Ellicott Square Building…read more At one time, this was the largest office building in the world. Kind of hard to believe considering the monoliths of today, but I try to imagine how awe inspiring it must have been (especially considering how it is still pretty spectacular). You can visit the building to do business at one of the many office located in the space, to grab a bite at one of the eateries or just to admire the architecture. It is often host to private events like wedding receptions, political rallies or gala fundraisers because of how gorgeous the lobby area is. If you are downtown, stop in and admire the beauty!

Well I frequent this building often. I work 2 Blocks away. Generally I hit tye Trading post…read more store to get my powerball tickets.

The Niagara Emporium was an interesting store. The Christmas store wAs all lit up, as a Christmas store should be. Duff's was open and so was a new brewery.

With all the shopping that goes on these days via the Internet, shopping malls are a dying breed…read more When you can shop on Amazon, for example, the convenience, selection and great prices, retailers just cannot compete. More so in the age of Corona. Well today was a very pleasant experience at the Eastern Hills Mall. I started by taking my unneeded electronics there at 11 AM. This mall was hosting the free electronics waste recycling drop off event in their parking lot. It was so well organized. A company by the name of sunnking was there to take old electronics off your hands. A great service to the community. After that event, I browsed through the Raymour and Flanigan furniture store. This is where the old AM&As, and BonTon used to be, if you recall. Buffalo old timers like me will remember! Then I walked past the Duff's chicken wing restaurant ( yum yum) to browse and check out some very exciting new businesses at the end of the mall where the old Sears used to be. The BFLO store, the Home Today store, the BFLO Events Center (not open yet), and the Chrusicki Bakery /Pierogi store are just refreshing and exciting additions to the Eastern Hills Mall. I think this mall really has potential. I hope once the fear of corona has passed, the mall will pick up more business and folks will truly appreciate what it means to shop in person again. It was really nice to be able to walk into a store, browse through merchandise, speak with the salesperson. That's the way humans interact. The social aspect is what made the experience exceptional today at this mall. The only department store left unfortunately is JCPenney. Otherwise there are many interesting stores when would not expect to see in the mall setting. Pet stores, dog training businesses, a realtor office, even a DMV (currently closed due to Covid), Antique collectible stores, a medical fitness center, blood donor organization, to name a few. Came home with a few treats from the Chrusicki Bakery. Due to being in the Orange Zone for COVID, patrons are not allowed to dine at the tables inside the bakery. Decorated so beautifully for the holidays it was so inviting. The entrance with the fireplace and Christmas theme is worth checking out.
