Western New York: From Niagara Falls and Southern Ontario to the Western Edge of the Finger Lakes
Called the Western Door by the Seneca Indians, western New York is the Empire State's open secret. 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. Buffalo has the largest concentration of theaters and art galleries in the state outside of New York City. In Rochester, museums, cafes, 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 camp-grounds; hundreds of dining recommendations, from roadside diners to four-star cuisine; up-to-date regional and downtown maps; 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.

Good "new resident" book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I bought this book for my son who will be spending 3 years in Buffalo attending school and it is perfect for someone new to the area. He's already trying the restaurants in the area and is planning day trips to see the many attractions in Western New York. A few more maps would be a plus but with the availability of maps online, unnecessary. A few more pictures would be a nice addition for the next edition.
