    In the city,away from the falls, there are so many excellent restaurants from casual to fine dining, family owned. If you like Italian,Como Restaurant, Fortuna's , La Haciendas.
    Can't get enough of their meals!

    I visited Niagara Falls in November 1996 and the maid of the mist wasn’t operating then. They were closed for winter. We did walk over to Goat island and view the falls. I have been back to USA many times since but have never returned to Niagara. I still enjoyed visiting there but it was lovely to experience it all again through your eyes.

      Thank you Cheryle! It was pretty chilly when we were there, but we layered up to try the boat ride--worth it! The Cave of the Winds was tempting, but we didn't want to be FREEZING and WET the rest of our day!

    WONDERFUL video!!! Loved the food sequences and especially that beautiful footage of the American Falls in their illuminated magic. I was just there in early December -- Niagara Falls, so majestic in late autumn. Whom am I kidding, it was winter up there by the first week of December! It snowed overnight ... just powder, but so lovely.
    Your husband's music is great! I like how it changes dynamics from mystical and moody to a funky tempo when the rapids show. I miss the Upper & Lower Rapids too ... and Luna Island ... and Goat Island. I went off-season, so there was no park trolley and, despite the safety of Niagara Falls State Park, I was too afraid to go alone to Three Sisters' Island. After watching your video and enjoying your enthusiasm, I'll be going back with a friend this year ... in season so that I can ride Maid of the Mist, ride the park trolley and try more of the eateries (many of which were closed when I went, due to the late season). Yes, we'll be mixing the honey garlic with the BBQ sauce and asking the wings to be made to crispy perfection. Thx for the tip.
    Oh, and so true about the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino (that feather sculpture has special meaning to Indigenous people in what we call America): It sure is fantastic!

Where did you guys park to look at the colored lights at the falls at night? Did you just park somewhere and walk over to see them? Also, was there anywhere to eat close by to walk to or anything? Thanks for any helpful info you can provide.

      Hi! We parked at our hotel (Seneca Niagara Resort) which was about a 10 minute walk to the actual falls. There is also on street parking by the entrance, and I'm sure there are public lots in the area too. Our resort was a casino and had a HUGE lot which you might be able to pay to use for the day. We didn't eat anywhere within walking distance of the falls, but there ARE restaurants within walking distance--maybe do a quick search to see if any of them get good reviews! Have an awesome trip!

      Hi! Thanks so much-this is one of my favorites. 😊 we had no choice issues with traffic. Parking was included at our hotel and it was about a 10 minute walk to the maid of the mist. We did a lot of walking going from the boat ride over to goat island and back-I think there’s a trolley you can hop on and off to get to specific spots. Just remember we were there last October so I’m assuming it’s more “open” now/probably more crowded. Also we drove to all the restaurants but they’re not far either. Have a wonderful trip!
