However, the restaurant Chick-fil-A is drawing pushback from at least four state lawmakers, who are asking the Thruway Authority leave Chick-fil-A out of its plazas, citing the company’s long history of donating to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations.
State Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal said the fast-food chain goes against many of the principles that New York has fought for, including marriage equality and anti-gender discrimination.
“Why is the state endorsing this fast-food chain by allowing it to be on New York state property?” Assemblywoman Rosenthal explained. “I know they ve said well, no taxpayer money involved in getting them etc., but they are sitting on New York state property first. Secondly, there are many other chains that can offer delicious food on the Thruway.”

Two Buffalo Highways Named Among The Worst In the United States
If you ever had the pleasure of driving down the 33 or the 198, you know those are not the best highways in Western New York and now each of those highways are getting some national attention.
A non-profit called Congress For New Urbanism named both the 33 and the 198 as some of the worst stretches of highway in the entire United States of America in 2021.
According to their Freeways Without Futures both the 33 and the 198 need improvements ASAP.
The 33 aka Kensington Expressway has been on the non-profit s records for several years now citing the highway s harmful effect on the surrounding neighborhoods. The Kensington Expressway was built in 1961 in Buffalo and connected the City of Buffalo to the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport. At one point the 33 was supposed to be extended to connect with the 190 but that expansion never happened.
