Local business owners have launched the beta version of Let's Go There Buffalo, an app providing hospitality information for the city. It features geolocation services to help users find nearby venues and events while excluding national chains and public reviews.
Why it matters
Developers created the platform to provide a centralized source for city hospitality information. They intend to digitize the experience of a traditional entertainment coupon book for local residents and visitors.
The application currently contains 251 restaurants, with 45 businesses actively connected to the platform. Users can access a paid membership tier for $4 per month or $40 per year.

Let's Go There Buffalo
This is a nationally trademarked hospitality application designed to aggregate local event and dining data.
The details
Business profiles on the app include operating hours, amenities, and exclusive discounts offered at least two days a week. The platform allows users to filter results by criteria including neighborhood, cuisine, and mealtime.
Timeline
The beta version of the application was available as of October 30, 2026.
The developers aim to reach 100 participating businesses by the end of 2026.
Market Landscape
The app updates the historical concept of an entertainment coupon book by transitioning it into a digital, location-based format. By excluding chains, the platform positions itself as a distinct alternative to broader review-based aggregators.
Residents can use the app to discover local dining discounts that are not available through national chain platforms. Users must decide whether to access the free version or pay a monthly fee for full membership access.
The takeaway
This platform provides a curated digital alternative for exploring local hospitality options without the influence of public reviews. Interested users should monitor the business participation count as it approaches the full launch milestone.
