Known for its remarkable natural beauty and tourist kitsch, Niagara Falls is now evolving into a draw for those who love food as well as those who seek thrills. A year ago, the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute opened a high-end restaurant, deli, patisserie and gelateria steps from the American Falls, transforming the area’s dining scene overnight.
A gastro pub called the Griffon Pub, which features 50 beers on tap and creative New American dishes like gnocchi poutine, opened a few miles east of the falls in August. On the Canadian side, oenophiles can get a taste of the region’s growing wine scene just a short bike ride from the falls along the Niagara River Recreation Trail. Nondining attractions are plentiful, too. This year, Canadians will host two major War of 1812 bicentennial re-enactments in the area, and, beginning this spring, visitors will be able to see the falls from a new luxury catamaran. Tourism officials on the Canadian side appear poised to allow daredevils to zip line across or rappel down the Niagara Gorge later this year.

Wow...!! I really enjoyed reading that blog. As Niagara falls is my favorite one travel destination. I am a tourist and love exploring wonders around the world, and Niagara falls is from one of them. Not just due to falls amazing viewing but also for its surrounded destinations or spots that makes it more prominent one among tourists. During my niagara falls ny at night tour I experienced its amazing and lovely viewing with my boy friend. I would love to go there again and again.
