From: New York Governor Kathy HochulSite Improvements Include Expanded Waterfront Activities and the New Perro & Poni Restaurant Coming Soon
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the grand opening of the $11 million Wilkeson Pointe improvements project with “Perro & Poni” restaurant coming soon at Buffalo’s Outer Harbor. Working within an approximate seven-acre site, the area between water’s edge at Wilkeson Pointe and the nearby Fuhrmann Boulevard entrance underwent a renovation to expand access to the waterfront site and enhance the visitor experience. A new restaurant, operated by the team behind South Buffalo’s popular Dog & Pony Saloon, is coming soon with a relaxing beer garden, featuring sand seating areas as well as a patio deck and gorgeous views of the water.
“Wilkeson Pointe has been one of Buffalo’s top spots for relaxation and recreation for more than a decade,” Governor Hochul said. “Now, whether you’re meeting up with friends, enjoying an outdoor stroll or taking in the sunset, this new restaurant and expanded waterfront access, make Wilkeson Pointe an unparalleled outdoor destination.”
