Hamilton Spectator Travel Writer Praises Canalside

[Eleven]

"By the time the final horn blows to end the game, a good night's sleep is probably what you're thinking of most. Marriott hotels have you covered with not one, but two locations steps from the FNC. The Courtyard Buffalo Downtown/Canalside is a skip away, while attached to the arena itself is the brand new Buffalo Marriott Harborcenter, providing an unparalleled experience in hotel comfort and convenience. And next morning, before heading across the street to Canalside rink for a few laps around New York State's largest outdoor recreational rink, you'll feel right at home enjoying breakfast at Harborcenter's flagship Tim Hortons — a Timmy's like you've never before complete with a statue of the famed Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leaf defenceman outside its front doors."

Hamilton! Outrageous!

That piece had very little to do with Canalside. It was Pegulaville Puff. Eddie Kilgore probably ghost wrote it!

The pre-game action starts at Harborcenter's 716 Food and Sport restaurant. Inspired by and modelled after Toronto's Real Sports Bar and Grill, the 1,200 square metre restaurant is a gastronomic shrine to all things sports. With 72 television monitors throughout, including an 11.5-metre wide screen TV — the largest in the USA — your table is never far away from a game broadcast. From the NFL to the NHL, from MLB to the NBA, if it's on TV, it's at the 716.

While the game is what may pack fans in, it's the food that has them coming back. Maybe that's because 716 Food and Sports boasts pub fare with a distinctly Buffalo twist.

"We've created a facility that highlights Buffalo food in our menu," says Don Heins, Harborcenter's communications manager. "Our most popular menu item is Buffalo Mac and Cheese which takes the traditional comfort food to a new level of heat by adding Buffalo wings hot sauce."

I've heard that, due to orders coming from "up high," the bacon served in the breakfast buffet has been changed from hearty thick cut to applewood smoked slab.

 

That blasted meddler TP!  When will it end?

Any day now I'm expecting it to change to back bacon.
