Judas Tree is an Amici & Amaro Bar; a hidden gem opened by a brother-sister duo Beckah and Josh Carey in Niagara Falls, NY specializing in locally sourced ingredients. There is literally nothing like it that i've ever seen - it's like stepping from Niagara Falls, NY into another world. Upon stepping in, you are greeted by a beautiful atmosphere decorated in thrifted vintage furniture and, most importantly, the kindest most inviting welcome by the staff. Relating to a Mediterranean theme with small plates, we couldn't choose just one selection from the menus because we were entrapped by the unique range of food they had listed. We learned that the most of the recipes are family created/made (the cannolis are hand made and the filling is whipped per order - literally to die for) and all other items from the menu are either home grown or locally sourced. I could go into more detail about every aspect relating to this restaurant, but I want to leave some for you to experience first hand. Food and drinks aside - what made this restaurant stand out to me is the staff. Mention it is your first time and they will explain everything with patience, love and care. From the food & drinks, bocce court, indoor or outdoor seating, to the music they have on weekends, at Judas Tree, you are truly experiencing all that Western New York has to offer. See the video below for a virtual tour of Judas Tree. Menu here. Events here.

Buffalo Bills season is fast approaching and every time it does, my mind always resorts back to one of my favorite memories. 8 years ago when I was working for Elderwood Residences at Wheatfield Independent Living in Wheatfield NY, I had this crazy idea to have a little fun with the residents there. Now, I use the term "residents" very loosely, because to me they were and will always be a part of my family. It was truly the best job and experience I had ever had. So, how did we have fun? I gathered up all of the Buffalo Bills memorabilia I could find, grabbed my camera, and went to the Independent Living, Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing facilities all located on the same campus in Wheatfield. I danced and laughed and sang with my #1 Buffalo Bills Fans. Originally, we wanted Buffalo Bills Rex Ryan to come visit us, and though that didn't happen, I still think that all of the hard work that went into this video was worth every single second. I'm still holding out for the Buffalo Bills to come and visit the campus for both the few residents that still live there after eight years and the new. I hope you enjoy this video that holds near and dear to my heart. You cant help but smile at the pure joy on their faces! Nicollette Owner of the Niagara Action

Since Pizza Hut left Niagara Falls and all of Western New York in 2020, a prevailing question has been whether the popular franchise would ever return to the Cataract City. So will a Pizza Hut return to Niagara Falls, NY? It's definitely possible since they are already returning all over WNY. Over the last year, Pizza Hut announced that they would return to Western New York with several new express curbside restaurants. Thus far, the locations have included ones in Cheektowaga, Depew, Tonawanda, and Batavia, which are all open. Although no formal announcement has been made, Niagara Falls remains a possibility for one of the additional locations. From previous posts about this beloved franchise, there is no question many residents would be excited to welcome Pizza Hut back. Pizza Hut Locations: Click links below!

As one of North America's most innovative summer venues, Artpark offers a full spectrum of engaging entertainment; from productions of musicals, plays, Orchestra performances and concerts. In fact, the Outdoor Amphitheater is home to award winning concert series featuring popular rock and pop performers. Here is the 2023 upcoming Artpark Concert Schedule. Sun., Aug 13th, 2023 | 4pm - 6pm LUX: VIVALDI REDEFINED THE FOUR SEASONS Artpark Amphitheater, Portage Road, Lewiston, NY, USA About: Mainstage TheaterVivaldi’s most radical work redefined. Violinist Isabel Ong, conductor Brent Chancellor, and projection artist Nicholas Taboni reimagine Vivaldi’s groundbreaking work in an immersive performance surrounded by audience members on stage, a backdrop of digital projections, and electronic music interludes.

One of the most staggering statistics about Niagara Falls is how much water cascades over the river below. Niagara Falls – which encompasses the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls – is recognized as having the greatest flow rate of any waterfall in the world. Together, more than 168,000 cubic meters, which amounts to over 40 million gallons, go over the falls every minute during peak season. That number lessens to about 110,000 cubic meters, or about 30 million gallons, per minute on average when averaging peak and non-peak seasons. 3,160 tons of water flow over Niagara Falls every second. This accounts for 75,750 gallons of water every second over the American and Bridal Veil Falls and 681,750 gallons per second over the Horseshoe Falls.

A city with deep Italian roots, Niagara Falls is home to some of the best Italian cuisine in the Niagara Region. In fact, the best four locations in Niagara Falls can be found in ‘Little Italy’ along Pine Avenue.

People travel from all over the world to experience the awe and wonder of Niagara Falls. On an annual basis, roughly 22.5 million people visit both the American and Canadian sides of the falls every year. This breaks down to an average of 9.5 million on the American side and 13 million on the Canadian side for Niagara Falls Tourism(United States and Canada). This means that an average of 791,666 people visit Niagara Falls each month, 182,692 per week and 26,017 per day. HOW AMAZING!

Starring Christopher Reeves and Margot Kidder, Superman II was filmed in Niagara Falls back in 1979. One of the most important scenes in the movie was a child falling into the water above the Horseshoe Falls and being saved by Superman. Fret not though, a real boy was not used for the stunt! Rather, a dummy doll was thrown over the railing to appear as though a boy was moving closer to the brink of the Horseshoe Falls and Niagara River below.

Village of Lewiston, located only ten (10) minutes away from Niagara Falls, is said to be the “most historic square mile in America.” As it turns out, there are several very good reasons giving merit to the claim. For example, Lewiston was the site of the first European settlement in Western New York in 1720. It is the site of the American invasion of Canada in 1812, which was later burned to the ground by the British in December of 1813. Lewiston also happened to be the last stop for slaves using the underground railroad seeking freedom from slavery in Canada. In addition to the various historical significances, you can actually see how the power of Niagara Falls, one of the world’s mightiest wonders, over thousands of years, eroded south through seven miles of solid rock to its present location now in the City of Niagara Falls. A path that is visible by following the Niagara Gorge which begins in Lewiston. Lewiston is also home to the cocktail drink, which was invented by Catherine Hustler. Ms. Hustler’s tavern in Lewiston was the last building left standing when the British invaded, perhaps, as some say, because the British Officers recalled their good times sipping a “Cocktail” prepared by the owner. A gin mixture, the drink got its name from being stirred with a tail feather of a stuffed cockerel (a young male of the domestic fowl). Lewiston sits on the Niagara River directly across from Canada and halfway between Niagara Falls and historic Fort Niagara in Youngstown. The business district of Lewiston, stretching for more than a mile on Center Street, is definitely worth walking. The dozens of shops and restaurants that line the street give it a small town feel that you would never experience in a larger, more commercial, setting. Also stunning are the homes and buildings, now renovated into shops or restaurants, that were constructed during the 1800’s and still standing today. There are many popular festivals in Lewiston throughout the year, such as the Art Festival, Peach Festival, Taste of Lewiston, and Jazz Festival. One of the better known attractions in Lewiston, and in fact the entire Western New York region, is Artpark. An indoor-outdoor theater complex that is home to performing and visual arts presentations, shows, and concerts, throughout the summer months. Lewiston is a must-see stop for visitors who wish to experience the brilliance and wonder of what the Niagara Region has to offer. To find out more about what Lewiston has to offer, check out the Discover, Explore and Eat/Drink pages of our website.

Niagara Falls, NY: On Wednesday, June 21st, 2023, Niagara Action Media announced the launch of their wide-ranging website centered around tourism in Niagara Falls, events in Western New York, and heartwarming community stories. Niagara Action has maintained the largest social media presence in Niagara County for over five years. Over the past eight months, Niagara Action has shifted its focus to concentrating on positive community news and promoting tourism for the Cataract City. Since that time, Niagara Action has grown to cement itself as having largest tourism-based social media presence in New York State centered around Niagara Falls. The move to focus on highlighting community events and small businesses, positive news and tourism was a no brainer for owner Nicollette Silluzio. “The Niagara region, and Western New York as a whole, has so much to offer,” said Silluzio. “Oftentimes we forget the things that make this area special. There are countless small businesses, attractions, events and etc. that deserve to be highlighted and publicized not only for people in our community, but for the millions of people that come each year to see Niagara Falls. Our website will feature a comprehensive events calendar covering events all over Western New York for kids, adults and tourists to enjoy. As it pertains to tourism, Silluzio stated she intends to make Niagara Falls a multi-day destination. “I am a firm believer that there is much more for tourists to experience in Western New York than Niagara Falls itself. One of the most important parts of our website allows visitors to plan a trip filled with attractions, activities, tours, events, and eateries that they would otherwise not know about. My goal is to make Niagara Falls more than a quick stop for tourists, but rather a true vacation destination filled with days of fun and excitement.” According to data compiled by Facebook (Meta), Niagara Action reaches an average of 45-60 million people per month with an average engagement of 5-10 million, which includes 5-10 million video views during that span. The website also includes unique falls-inspired merchandise not sold anywhere else. Going forward, Silluzio says her goal is to continue expanding. “This website is merely the first step in moving toward an all-encompassing one-stop-shop for tourists from all over the world. Our future, and that of the Niagara region, is bright.”
