About Step Out Buffalo

Step Out Buffalo is a new media company that allows both locals and visitors to explore, discover and indulge in everything that Buffalo and Western New York have to offer. It serves as a dining, news and entertainment guide for Western New York.

Founded in 2013 by Chuck Kluckhohn and his daughter, Emily Kluckhohn, Step Out Buffalo began simply as a website. The goal was, and remains, to inspire people to explore and enjoy Buffalo and Western New York. The small team of four working out of Hamburg, NY, now reaches over 100,000 Buffalovers each month with content through their website, just about every social media platform, a Kiss 98.5 radio segment on Friday mornings, and a newsletter pertaining to the best events, things to do, restaurants, local shops, bars, and nightlife in Western New York.  

The six categories they include on their website are:

Advertising

In a time where the effectiveness and visibility of print advertising are dwindling, Step Out Buffalo has increasingly grown their market by offering affordable advertising through their site and social media platforms to local businesses, large and small. They brand themselves as "your go-to guide for dining and entertainment in Buffalo and Western New York." Step Out Buffalo takes just as much pride in their work as they do in the city that they call home, Buffalo. 

Events

In an effort to add even more thrill and fun to Western New York, they also began hosting events, including the successful  Buffalo Whiskey Fest and Bloody Mary Fest. They now serve as a leading destination in the "New Buffalo" movement, and they are continuously expanding, and looking for ways to reach every age and audience in their pursuit of being the ultimate guide for Western New York. Believe it or not, this small city has quite a bit to offer, and Step Out Buffalo shares it all!
