The siren call of Queen of Hearts being down to one card is what brought me to Saint John's bingo…read morerecently for the first time. Knowing that a night with a guaranteed $7K+ QofH payout would be a madhouse, my BFF and I got there early to snag our spot. They have a weekly game on Saturdays at 7pm. The bingo hall is in a basement-level room with stairs to enter. There is plenty of free parking in the church lots. It is not a huge space, but they pack in as many tables as they can to accommodate a decent crowd. I went again the following week, (after not winning the QofH grand prize, boohoo), and there was still a decent crowd, so going early to get a table amidst this hall of dedicated bingo-goers is a good idea. With the tables crammed in, it is hard to maneuver once people start filling the room. The concession window in the back can be challenging to get to in the tight, narrow aisles between tables. But once you make it, they have hot dogs, pizza slices (both pepperoni or mushroom, the vegetarian being a nice option you don't see everywhere), as well as a variety of homemade sheet cake slices for a dollar each (last weekend's pistachio cake and pineapple spice cake slices were YUM), and your usual candy, snacks, coffee, tea and sodas. Admission al la carte is $3 for a three-face, or they offer a $25 packet with nine-faces of all regular and special games included, plus one early bird. On top of those games, they run a special Letter-X game for an additional $2 per card, a special tic-tac-toe game for $3 each, pull-tabs, and as aforementioned Queen of Hearts. Regular round robin games payout from $40 - $100, with specials paying a $200 consolation and up to big progressive wins that have been over $2K. One downside to this hall is, since it is in a basement, there are several pillars that obstruct the view of the called numbers board. For the early bird, they do provide a worksheet to mark numbers and bring back to your seat, so you don't have to stand next to the board if you can't see behind a pillar. I don't love this of course, but if you get here early enough, you can get a spot with a clear view of the board. One perk of this hall though is their frequent player punch card. With every punch, you get a raffle ticket for a chance at a fun raffle basket each week. Ten punches gets you a free early bird. I play at several halls, and don't know of any other that has a free raffle chance each week for loyalty players, so very nice indeed. Overall I like the atmosphere of this bingo hall. It is bright and clean, and although a bit tight on space, the folks crammed in are friendly and fun. And ... drum roll please ... for my second visit I won a regular bingo all to myself and took home forty bucks! A win definitely has a way of making you like a hall more, haha. Even so, I genuinely enjoy playing at Saint John's, and look forward to my next visit!

So my nephew was turning 16 yr old, he didn't want an actual party but did wanna do something fun…read morewith his cousins doing his favorite thing...gaming. After searching for a near and wide, my sister found Orions Landing, which proved to be beyond our expectations. We had a group of 5 teenage boys who were hungry and full of energy. We were planning on doing a walk session, it was 3pm but online, they stated their next session wasn't until 6. We called to verify, the manager said there was party coming in if we made it in before 4 p.m., he could accommodate us earlier. Bet!!! So we made it in exactly at 4pm. Our crew was able to choose two 30 minute games for $35 each. While the teens played we adults also played !! They had a giant Jenga, chess board, table hockey, and a bunch of other arcade games. Speaking of adult time !! They actually had adult beverages and not just beer and cider but actual ALCOHOL!! I definitely see myself planning an adult birthday party or fun meet-up here !! We also indulged in some pretty cheesy mozzarella sticks that weren't overcooked. When the boys got they were treated to in house made pizza !! We got the traditional cheese and pepperoni, I was actually really surprised that this pizza was actually really good !! Cup and pep, nicely portioned cheese and sauce and perfect dough !! One of the owners, who I might add is such a nice truly guy, said that they use fresh ingredients. We can definitely tell !! In additional they have all sorts of other food, like fries and pizza logs the list goes on and on !! Our crew had such a fun time and my nephew is still smiling about his experience. Oh might I add Orion Landing was opened under a different name and location prior to covid. We took my nephew and his same crew minus a few 6 years ago! Even more impressive one of Owners remembered us and enjoyed a laugh with is at how much the kids had grown and other fun moments of the previous party we had. I'm so glad to say same great service, with a much Improved atmosphere!! In addition to Vr gaming they have a virtual escape room and a neon paint splatter room !! I can't stop tell people about our experience!! A great place for older kids and adults alike!! We will definitely be back time and time again !! So should you !! I wish I'd taken more pictures to share just how awesome this place is !

My friend and I got to the outer harbor around 11:45 a.m. and there was a lot of parking. When you first entered the fair, there were many food trucks, and makers tents. I was so impressed by that. I made a stamped metal necklace, that came with a chain (what?!), and a shibori bandana, which I will be using as a decorative setting on my kitchen table. There were galaxy tiles, and a needle working class, that unfortunately, we didn't get to do as well. The volunteers working the booths were amazing, thank you for spending your day with us!!! The vendors are awesome. There is something unique and fun for everyone. I can't wait for the next one in 363 days.

In 2016 it took place at the wonderful old Grand Central Terminal. An abandoned railroad station in the heart of Buffalo's East Side, which is slowly being renovated from ruin into a haunting and useful place. It was a pleasure to be part of the event, I got to sample several of the food trucks outside (Lomo Lomo, Tuk Tea, and more), and check out all of the stalls selling every little kind of trinket and ornament and craft-type item you can imagine. The people at the stalls were generally really great, and I had a good long chat with the musician playing on stage, who had been on X Factor or The Voice (can't remember which) at some point in the past. He knew a lot of pop hits and it was fun listening to him. If you're into Crafts, or guys named Jack, then make sure you come to the JCF next year or at some time in the future.

Always park along the side streets or in the school parking lot. It's a walkable distance. If you have a mobility impairment, it might be hard to find a parking spot during peak times since a lot is going on in the village. Food tickets: 50¢ per food ticket and no item is over 12 tickets (so for $6 you can get a full portion of a burger or other entree). I brought $20 with me and was FULL. I had around 10 tickets left over which I passed along to a friend who was staying later. The burgers: I am SHOOK that people say they can't seem to find burgers at BurgerFest... there had to be around 15-17 different types and styles of burgers! From a burger taco to pierogi and grilled cheese - to ice cream sandwiches- lots of creativity along with the classic burgers. Entertainment: Terry Buckwald is always a crowd pleaser and kept our spirits high in the heat! Lots of fun with those we sat by! Oh- did I forget to mention that there is shade areas with tables and chairs??? They have a good amount of tents to cool off under and sit/eat food! Main Street has a lot of fun with their performers and car show! Will be back again next year!!!

Admission alone is $20 (8 and under are free), and then you have to purchase food tickets once you're inside. A sheet of 10 tickets is $15, and it costs more if you're paying by credit card. Parking is another $25 if you choose to park in the ramp nearby. (Definitely look for street parking because it's free on weekends). By the time you get in, park, and buy tickets, it adds up quickly. There are food options other than just wings: baked goods, ice cream novelities, mac and cheese, pierogis, and pizza ranging from 1-4 tickets. Each wing is 1 ticket, which equates to $1.50. That said, my son had a great time and was a big fan of the whole experience. He especially enjoyed independently going to the stands and giving me a full review of each item he tasted. Personally, my favorite food item was the boneless chicken bites from Springer Chicken (sold at TOPS) shaken in classic Frank's. Overall, I appreciate the effort that goes into putting on an event like this and supporting the Buffalo community, but I do think the overall cost is getting pretty high for families.
