Elmwood Strip
![]() Coles Restaurant 1104 Elmwood Avenue |
Location: This Buffalo neighborhood centers on Elmwood Avenue from Forest Avenue south to North Street. The Elmwood "strip" commercial district includes a variety of cafes, ethnic restuarants, nightclubs and specialty shops catering to neighborhood residents and the students of nearby Buffalo State College. The blocks running off of Elmwood Avenue are lined with fine examples of residential Victorian architecture. Leaded glass windows and wooden "tracery" embellish these older single and multiple family houses. Running through parts of the Delaware District, Elmwood Strip, and West Side are the Soldiers Circle, Bidwell Parkway and Chapin Parkway. These Olmsted-designed parkways cross over many parts of Buffalo. Related links: Forever Elmwood. |
