In Buffalo, NY Lat 42.83, Lon 78.83, time 1:30 EDT
M31 is Azimuth :+135°20'
Altitude :+87°48'
That's almost over head in mid latitudes.
Look up at the Big Square. Follow the last
star in the upper corner of the square eastwart to
the next brightest star, which is beta Andromeda
and make a turn to the north. Goto the faint star
north of beta, then an equal distance further is
the Andromeda Galaxy

I'm two hours behind your question, but the Andromeda Galaxy at 11:00 pm Central Daylight Time is high in the sky to the north-northeast. It'll be there tomorrow night too : )

Use this sky chart and set it for your city and time you're looking. It's on the chart as M31.

It will be nearly impossible to see with the naked eye on a night of full moon. Binoculars might be OK. Wait for a few nights.

I think it off to the left of the moon. Look for the brightest star and you be close.
