As soon as I moved to Baltimore, Maryland I started searching for the local dishes and restaurants to try out.

There’s nothing quite like Dyngus Day in Buffalo if you’re looking for a fun and funky cultural festival! Not many people outside of Poland or a handful of Polish-American communities in the US have heard of the annual tradition held on Easter Monday. Over the years the celebrations have grown and Buffalo, New York has become the Dyngus Day capital of the USA.

While convincing my partner we that should book a week-long trip to Rome using Groupon Getaways, I used his birthday in early March as a great excuse to take a trip. Then of course I had to figure out how to make the day of his birthday in the middle of our trip special, and what better way to celebrate than learning to make pasta? We love our eating adventures and were looking forward to all the delicious food while we were in Italy.

Cows block the roads sometimes in Agra, India
My favorite kind of traffic jam.

When the ship docked in Chennai, India (which is also known by the name Madras) I wasn’t sure what to expect from this huge and diverse country other than it’s where the Taj Mahal is located. I was beginning to get used to hot, tropical weather as I’d just visited Vietnam and Cambodia’s temples including Angkor Wat.

Festive stands at German Christmas markets sell delicious food.
All the stands are decorated to add to the festive mood

German Christmas markets are a long-standing holiday tradition where people of all ages shop for gifts and gather to enjoy the spirit of the season. Part of experiencing Christmas markets in Germany is going on an eating adventure through them to eat your weight in delicious food as you wander. I found the best way to take in all the entertainment and stalls throughout the markets was with a steaming mug of glühwein in one hand and snacks in the other. There’s a huge variety of food available at all the markets and often some local specialties you can’t find anywhere else.

Feeling the Buffalove at RU’s Pierogi

*Update: As of October 2019 RU’s Pierogi closed their restaurant to focus on the manufacturing and wholesale business. You can still find their pierogi at RU’s Pierogi food truck, in local grocery stores, and being served up at some local restaurants.*

It had been on my list of restaurants to try for a long time before we made our way into RU’s Pierogi in Buffalo. Between friends giving it rave reviews and my sister giving my husband a gift card for his birthday, we finally had to go. RU’s is known for their delicious and creative pierogi served up in their food truck and restaurant.

New York Apples

The 20 acre orchard while Apple Picking at Smith’s Orchard

Apple seeds were brought over to New York from Europe in the 1600s. Today, New York is the second largest apple producing state in the US with many varieties grown across the state. Considering this history (and NYC’s Big Apple nickname), it’s no surprise apples were designated as the state fruit in 1976. 

Western New York is home to many farms and orchards. Many of them welcome visitors to come to pick their own or purchase already harvested apples every fall. I usually go apple picking at Smith’s Orchard and Cider Mill each fall and get some delicious apple cider slushies.

Having lived in Western New York my entire life, I’ve often taken all the great food in Buffalo for granted. While I enjoy my eating adventures in other places, I’m always happy to return home to eat some of my favorite dishes again. Traveling also forced me to realize that some of these delightful foods aren’t available or even known everywhere. So enjoy them when you get the chance! Continue reading
