What You Need To Know About the Goodies From Tops at the Taste of Buffalo

     You KNOW that we make a visit to the Taste of Buffalo presented by Tops every year. It's local tradition! It's the nation's largest food festival and packed with restaurants, music, drinks, and desserts. It's neat to see the changes each year because the Taste is always evolving and adding fun and different things to the weekend. One of our favs, Tops Friendly Markets, is the main sponsor of the event this year and even they have some fun surprises up their sleeve! Here is the rundown on some things you gotta check out:

Did you know Tops has a tasting menu there?!

We got a glimpse of their menu and we aren't sure how we'll choose....we've got our eyes on the fried chicken and maple bourbon bacon baked beans! (say that four times fast!) They will have full portions at an affordable cost, too!

Tops' Natural Organic Tent

(remember- all proceeds benefit People Inc.)  You can learn what Tops Pharmacy has to offer, like immunization, MedSync and DMV vision testing. Staff will be on hand to discuss "building a better medicine cabinet", and will demonstrate which important items should be in any medicine cabinet.
