Buffalo, New York’s Main Street with Shea’s Performing Arts Center. 2018 started out pretty randomly for me. I was in the corner of JP Fitzgerald's, an Irish Pub— There I stood in a crowded room on the outskirts of Buffalo, New York watching an Irish folk band perform. The band wore kilts and played bagpipes when the clock struck midnight... Except it wasn’t midnight? The entire room erupted with joy and celebration five hours before midnight when Dublin, Ireland ushered in the New Year in their time zone. Then again, at midnight local time, Buffalo, NY rang in 2018 in genuine Western New York style— Wings, Beef on Weck, and Beer. The Buffalo Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins that night to make their way to an NFL playoff appearance for the first time since 1999.
