We were fans of Merge well before they opened.  Variety is the spice of life and Merge offers a dinning atmosphere that is different from anywhere else in Buffalo.

Merge is long and narrow with a stage that beckons to the young aspiring musicians and entertainers.  A small bar at the far end is reached by following a wide path past the filled but non-crowded tables.

On each table is a well sharpened set of colored pencils and a blank place mat which doubles as your canvas.

I was slightly addicted to my artwork.  It’s not that I am artist by any means, it’s just been a long time since I colored.  While not coming out quite like I imagined, it was entertaining to view my finished work.  Nina’s was much cuter.

For lunch I ordered the Katie Panini (Grilled Cheddar Cheese, Granny Smith Apples and Jicama) with sweet potato fries.

Afterword, we sat for a few moments drinking hot tea and starring out at busy blustery Delaware Avenue.
