Happy Holidays from the Staff at Flying Bison Don't Drink & Drive, we want to see you Alive in 2006!
From Buffalonet, "a not for profit internet site dedicated to preserving Buffalo and Western New York's Heritage":
Jim Daley, from Buffalo's old first ward and his Bavarian wife Erika, took over the business in late 1954. They added a mix of German and Irish sensibility. In their over 40 years of business, they have seen urban renewal clear away the once great neighborhood that surrounded Ulrichs and watched the demise of the Buffalo brewing industry which had originally spawned the business to begin with. However, Ulrichs remains a favorite downtown lunch spot and after work watering hole, famous for its St. Patricks Day festivities and its homecooked meals and fine selection of premium beer.
From Bertha and Fredrick Schuerier in 1868, to Erika and Jim Daley today, Ulrichs' rich tradition has endured. This small tavern, born 8 years before Custer rode to his death at the Little Bighorn, stands as a sentinel to Buffalo's glorious past as well as its ever changing future. Since that fall day in 1868, Ulrichs' purpose has never changed: To provide a public house, where one can enjoy food, drink and camaraderie.
Jim "Coach" Daley Jr. now runs Ulrich's and he continues to offer his patrons delicious traditional German food, a wonderful selection of beer and friendly service.
In addition Ulrich's serves up live German and Irish music and hosts the city's finest St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest celebrations as well as events like mixers for the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus' community and a "History of Germans in Buffalo" lecture/dinner series.

After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …

We just had our annual CTRC Christmas party at Ulrich's last week. The potato pancakes and sausages were delicious, as was the bread pudding for dessert!
While you're there, ask Jim to give you his "Ulrich's history in Buffalo" speech... it's very enlightening and entertaining... and it also reminds you that we have not travelled too far from where we began...
