It's on Main St. Btwn. W/E Tuper and W/E Chippawa (main splits east + west) just down the street from Shea's (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sheas.org">http://www.sheas.org</a><!-- m -->).
These are directions to Sheas (from Sheas site) but same street.
************************************************************
From Canada and Niagara Falls
Via the Lewiston Bridge, Whirlpool Bridge and the Rainbow Bridge
Take Robert Moses Parkway (south) to Route I-190 (south towards Buffalo).
Continue on the I-190.
You will go over both Grand Island bridges, (50 cent toll) and eventually through
the Breckenridge toll (50 cents). ((NO TOLL ANYMORE BUT BOOTHS STILL UP, Mark))
Exit at Elm Street.
Take Elm Street to the very end - you will reach Goodell Street.
Turn left onto Goodell Street.
Stay to the left hand side of Goodell.
Follow the sign ahead for Pearl Street.
A Shea's Performing Arts Center entrance is located just up ahead on the left hand side of the street.
The Box Office entrance is at 650 Main Street
************************************************
These get you one street up from Town Ballroom. Town sits between Main and Washington.
Not hard to find.
There's a hotel on Delaware and Chippawa (days inn or Holiday, can't remember) Google Map 681 Main st Buffalo, NY 14203 and it will give you some places to stay.
