Spotlight on: Buffalo's spirited history

Long before Mayor Jimmy Griffin advised Buffalo residents to wait out a major blizzard by buying a six-pack, the city has had a love affair with beer and alcohol. Buffalo once was home to "the wickedest street in the world," a whiskey-soaked canalside den of sin and vice. It is, after all, the city that responded to Prohibition by electing an anti-Prohibition brewmaster as mayor -- twice. Author Dan Murphy has written its history, as seen through a pint glass.

If you have lived in (or visited) Western New York, inevitably you have asked yourself questions such as: how do they make kummelweck rolls? And, what's the secret to authentic Buffalo chicken wings? No one has had a better handle on local kitchen customs than Janice Okun, who served as food editor at The Buffalo News for over 40 years and remains the paper's principal restaurant reviewer. It's not surprising, then, that Buffalo Cooks With Janice Okun is as original as the recipes within. Okun serves up each of the book's unique recipes with colorful, anecdotal side dishes of history and local flavor.

Western New York is home to one of the world's largest and most diverse collections of structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, America's most famous architect. Now that awe-inspiring collection of great architecture is catalogued in the new book, Frank Lloyd Wright In Western New York.

Author Jan Sheridan takes a closer look at the Darwin D. Martin House Complex, Graycliff Estate, the Larkin Administration Building and Wright-designed private homes. In addition, the book boasts about 100 black-and-white photos of a variety of sites bearing Wright's unique designs, and a variety of reference material for both the casual and scholarly.

Do you know what happened in 1927 that helped Canada and the United States become even better neighbors? Or why the Buffalo Fire Department's Engine 20 is never slowed down by traffic on city streets? Answers to these questions and dozens of others are contained in a new book that helps children learn about the Western New York region. Buffalo, N.Y.: Cool Stuff Every Kid Should Know includes about 100 full-color photographs. Young readers will learn about everything from Niagara Falls and local architectural icons, to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. The second part of this 32-page book focuses on New York State, including its lakes, mountains, monuments and museums.
