The New Year is a fresh start, a chance to start anew with bigger goals and better habits. While most people make resolutions to hit the gym more often and make healthier choices, Buffalonians tend to do things a bit differently. You know you’re from Buffalo when you make these 10 New Year’s resolutions. For the sake of being festive, let’s start the countdown at 10, shall we?
- Appreciate summer more.
Samantha Gill - Kin&Kindling.com Buffalo summers can be hit or miss. But even the rainiest, gloomiest day in July beats 1º temperatures in January. In 2018, make a resolution to enjoy the summer while it lasts.
- Don’t get your hopes up too often.
Buffalo Bills - Facebook Guarding your heart is a must for Buffalo sports fans. While it’s great to get excited and keep playoff hopes alive, it’s always best to do so with cautious optimism.
- Complain less about the weather.
rik-shaw (look 4 light) - Flickr It’s never great when lake effect snow forces you to cancel your plans. Or below-zero wind chills ruin the outfit you had planned for New Years Eve festivities. Or when you want to enjoy a summer picnic and all you get is rain. But let’s all choose to complain a little less about the weather in Buffalo this year. After all, we’d rather take a blizzard over a tornado, right?
- Be a better neighbor.
Jericho Road Community Health Center - Facebook There are so many great organizations in Buffalo to lend a helping hand to neighbors in need. In 2017, make a resolution to serve more often!
- Go easy on the wings and beer.

- Spend more time exploring the city.
