Remember your passports
by Dabs
It's easy to forget that you are in a foreign country while in Niagara Falls but if you want to pass over from one side of the Falls to the other on foot or in a vehicle, you will need to bring your passport regardless of your nationality. Once you pass through the turnstile on either side, you are locked into going across, you can't just wander out onto the bridge and snap a photo and come back without going through customs/immigration.

Don't drive around Clifton Hill
by theagent
I took a bus from Hamilton but Niagara Falls is very pedestrian friendly. All the sites are pretty close together.
Please leave the car behind. Driving Clifton Hill is like the Las Vegas strip on a weekend. Save yourself the aggro.
well worth it
by JoelAM about mick and angelo's
casual atmosphere, hockey/sports memorabilia, large portions, many choices(wings, italian,tex-mex, steaks, burgers) prices decent for the niagara area. also seems to be popular with local residents too the wings are fantastic(but so is everything else!)
The Boat House
by kris-t about The Boat House
Close to the tourist trap area, yet off the beaten path. Great variety in food, reasonably priced, nice atmosphere and service. Amazing view of the Chippawa creek and blossoming flowers accross the street.
The special was a steak and fries for $8.00
