"It was really the old-timey neighborhood of Buffalo for the longest time."

Locals don't need to travel far to enjoy the outdoors. Cazenovia Park is just a mile trip to the northeast, containing sports fields and picturesque views of Cazenovia Creek. The park also hosts the weekly South Buffalo Farmers Market, which operates every Sunday from June to September.

Shopping at McKinley Mall and eateries on South Park Avenue
Shopping can be found at McKinley Mall, which is stationed 5 miles south and contains a large assortment of boutiques and retail shops.

Mineo's South Pizzeria is another neighborhood favorite thanks to its specialty pies and subs. South Park also contains several Irish pubs, including Talty's Tavern, Molly Maguires and Potter's Field Restaurant & Pub. "There's a bar on every corner," Jurek says. "Doc Sullivan's is the best one. It's a really cool place and has some of the best wings in Buffalo, too." For groceries, South Park residents frequently stop by Save A Lot at Abbott Road Plaza for daily essentials. Locals can also travel 2 miles east and pick up fresh fruits and veggies from Wegmans — a staple among Buffalonians.
