NIAGARA FALLS, NY
Fortuna's Restaurant
The food was amazing. My parents used to take us here on those special Friday nights — authentic Italian cuisine that made every visit feel like a celebration.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY
La Hacienda
Fish and chips like nowhere else. A family tradition — the kind of place you drove to just because nothing else compared.
LEWISTON, NY
Apple Granny
The best wings in Lewiston — and I mean the best. Lewiston is a beautiful little town on the Niagara River and Apple Granny is the crown jewel.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY
Di Camillo Bakery
A Western New York institution. The bread, the pastries, the smell when you walk in — Di Camillo is a memory you carry with you forever.
BUFFALO, NY
Anchor Bar & Grill
The birthplace of the Buffalo wing. If you visit Western New York and skip the Anchor Bar, you haven't been to Western New York.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY
Maid of the Mist
There is nothing like standing on that boat as Niagara Falls thunders around you. A must for every visitor — and unforgettable for those of us who grew up nearby.
CRYSTAL BEACH, ONTARIO
Crystal Beach Loganberry
A deep purple drink unlike anything you've ever tasted. Loganberry is the flavor of a Western New York summer — and Crystal Beach is where it lives.
BUFFALO, NY
Buffalo Sponge Candy
Buffalo's signature candy — chocolate covered, light and airy inside. You can't find it anywhere else quite like this. Try Parkside Candy, Fowler's, or Platter's.
