@Villages

Williamsville First settled nearly 200 years ago, this village is a destination for those who want to skip the malls and prefer the allure of an old-fashioned Main Street shopping experience. Williamsville has come a long way from its historic roots, hosting a bevy of boutiques, cafes, gift shops and restaurants. From indulging in a few cocktails to shopping for your favorite brand, it’s all just steps away from the beautiful Glen Falls.

How would you describe your personal style? My style is a mix of classic prep with a dash of boho. I’m pretty minimal when it comes to accessories so I tend to invest in staple pieces like a nice bag, leather boots, and pearl earrings. Comfort is key for me. Favorite places for a drink? Trattoria Aroma on Main serves up a great cocktail Where are your favorite places to shop? and has a fantastic wine selection. The Eagle House Tesori has one-of-a-kind pieces for home decor. always has craft beers on draft. I always find something I love atLeeLee , they have great taste. A perfect day in Williamsville includes: Breakfast at Break’n Eggs Creperie, followed by What do you love most about Buffalo? exploring Glen Falls with a black raspberry ice cream I love how it’s a small city with lots of eclectic neigh- MUSEJAR from Sweet Jenny’s. borhoods and a caring community. The close prox- imity of these neighborhoods make it so easy to get Who serves the best Village grub? around on foot or bike. Being so close to Lake Erie Creekview serves up a great meal every time I’ve and the Niagara River is such a treasure, especially in been. Billy Bar, a new place from the owner of the summer! Tabree, has Williamsville’s only raw bar, and the charcuterie plate is excellent. Glen Park Tavern What’s Williamsville’s best-kept fashion secret? also has a mean beef on weck sandwich! I think the key to a good outfit is a good foundation; Blum’s has the best selection of women’s under- garments, not to mention bathing suits and pj’s. VILLAGE ARTISANS Bee Maternal is a new boutique that has not only maternity wear but beauty products and classes for the moms-to-be.

You’re a pro shopper. Any secrets you would like to share? Visit your favorite shops often! When new apparel comes in there are only a few sizes available so make sure to shop often. Get to know the shop owners, as they get to know you and your style they can recommend pieces.
