It is said that the reason this building was left standing was due to the British officers remembering too many good times there sipping a “cocktail” - a drink that the owner Catherine Hustler is credited with inventing.

So we WNYorker's are not only famous for losing 4 straight Super Bowls but more importantly being the seat of the original "cocktail"! Something that has served all of us well especially after 4 Super Bowl loses..
Oh....but the best is yet to come. Especially when we WNYorkers indoctrinate TVers with our FUN WNY spirit...cocktail or no cocktail!
YES!!!
