Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises

Monday, June 29th, 2009

What better way to relax on your visit to Niagara USA than to enjoy a narrated cruise along the historic Erie Canal and through the only remaining set of working double locks.

Start your tour at the Lockport Canalside, and make your way through the remodeled steel building that is an addition to an 1840’s canal stone building that housed a couple of businesses and now resembles a Canal Town and houses a meeting room, “Veranda” banquet room, gift shop, café and a pub with a mahogany bar.  Make your way onto one of two Coast Guard inspected vessels that have snacks available on board and clean restrooms.

Best of Niagara

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

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!).
