The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is the only museum in the world housed in an authentic, original carousel factory building. And it’s right here in Niagara County!
The Allan Herschell Company was founded in 1915 in North Tonawanda, New York. Allan Herschell had previously been a partner in the earliest of the area’s carousel firms: the Armitage Herschell Company in 1873, and later with the Herschell-Spillman Company in 1901. (more…)
I am a Niagara Falls native and that alone has given me the opportunity to try some of the best food and products in our area. Here are some of my favorites with some input from the folks at the Niagara Tourism and Convention Corporation. Please feel free to post your own!!
Pizza: The taco pizza at Honey’s, near the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, is fantastic but for a slice of classic cheese and pepperoni Leon’s Pizza in the The Summit mall wins.
Taco: Everyone knows Niagara County is home to Colosso Taco! Pick one up on Pine Avenue and enjoy.
Beef on Weck: Carson’s, on the corner of Rt. 31 and Upper Mountain Rd., is a hometown favorite and in an unexpected place. They’re actually suppose to be known for their pies!
BBQ: Tie. The Brickyard on Center St. in Lewiston and One Eyed Jacks on Transit Rd. in Lockport top the list (and created some controversy here in the office!).
