About this title

Synopsis

The first and most comprehensive guide to the region.

Here travelers will find Niagara Falls. And nearby, the Erie Canal ends its 300-mile trip as it empties into Lake Erie near Tonawanda. The "famous five" stair step locks that carried the canal over the Niagara Escarpment at Lockport are still preserved near the Erie Canal Museum. In Rochester, museums, cafés, and shopping abound. This book is the first comprehensive guide to this vast cultural, historic and natural destination.

This guide also includes opinionated listings of inns, B&Bs, hotels, vacation cottages, and campgrounds; hundreds of dining recommendations, from roadside diners to four-star cuisine; up-to-date regional and downtown information; an alphabetical “What's Where” subject guide to aid in trip planning; and handy icons that point out places of extra value, family- and pet-friendly establishments, wheelchair access, and popular wedding venues. Black-and-white photographs and maps throughout
