Mark80 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Will be moving to Elma from Kenmore area late August / early September. Going from .1 acre to 3.8 acres! Looking for info on what's good around there. Restaurants, pizza places, place to grab a drink, etc. Also, dog friendly parks, boutique shops, and whatever else which may be noteworthy. Already very familiar with nearby village of lancaster, but don't really know anything about Elma. Thanks.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) There is a pho place on Seneca... Off of Transit. Not bad! Edited July 8, 2020 by ExiledInIllinois
WEATHER DOT COM Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Most people I know in Elma spend most of their time in East Aurora. There's a popular dog park at Knox Farm in EA. I would suggest taking an afternoon to walk to Main Street in EA and check out the shops to see what suits your taste. Blue Eyed Baker and 42 North Brewery are my favorite spots in town there.

Pretty much what this guy said. Knox farm and East Aurora. Elma Towne Grill is a decent spot within Elma 2

WEATHER DOT COM Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Hunter's Creek Trail is also pretty close to Elma I believe - a great place to hike with a dog. 1

qwksilver Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) At 3.8 acres you have you're own dog park! All you need to do is invite over friends with good beer and their dogs. Edited July 9, 2020 by qwksilver 2

EmotionallyUnstable Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 My friend lives in Elma. I’ll PM you his address.

US Egg Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 You will be shopping on Transit between French Rd. and William St. where there is plenty. You'll be splitting time on 20a going to the Orchard Park and East Aurora villages. What Elma offers is low taxes and nice towns around and direct access to the 400. Logistically, you made a great move. Hope the yard isn't too much. Good luck ! 1

Already on that. Only about 2-2.5 needs to be cut, but definitely not doable with a push mower. 9 hours ago, I am the egg man said: You will be shopping on Transit between French Rd. and William St. where there is plenty.

Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with that area of Transit since my GF lives in the Village of Lancaster (partially why I'm moving out that way). Also have been to East Aurora a bunch so know some good spots there. I never really knew too much about Elma but when I went to look at the house I loved the look of it. Lots of open space, very few suburbanized developments, a lot of unique and beautiful homes, and still not too far away as to be completely in the sticks.

Pro tip: Always go with the smaller bowl, if they offer two options. 1
