Surrounding the show, producers are hosting unique, some-times invitation only events bringing viewers off-line to join the fun, and taste local food and drinks on the show. Event guests share enthusiasm and often become regulars. “Thank you for last night’s City Walk, another spectacular event” – Wayne Smith, Rochester, NY. “Buffalonians and Rochesterians united in a super swank setting to eat, drink, and listen to some fun live music. The Rooftop Welcome Summer Party was a great success and I want to thank any group that is forward-thinking enough to bring people from these two great cities together for social events.” – Newell Nussbaumer, Buffalo NY.
