The 28th annual Taste of Buffalo is underway in downtown Buffalo.  Along Delaware Avenue from Chippewa Street to Niagara Square 50 restaurants and 7 wineries offer samples from their menus.  Many restaurants are familiar names in Western New York, but each year there are a few new ones and that's the idea.  The Taste gives you a chance to sample items from restaurants you've never been to before so that you may want to check it out sometime in the future.
