Reviving Niagara: Eat

Eat:

That should probably read “Mangia,– because Niagara Falls, New York is famous for it's Italian eateries. The Como Restaurant was even featured on the Food Network. And the Little Italy section of the city is larger than the one in New York City, and believe you me when I say that I don't exaggerate when it comes to food.

We've eaten Italian food in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Cleveland, Tampa, Columbus, the District of Columbia, Chicago, Las Vegas, Trenton, Newark, Baltimore, and Los Angeles, and nothing, nothing comes close to the variety or quality of the Italian food you'll find in Niagara Falls.

Whether you live in Omaha and you're planning a trip to see this natural wonder of the world, or if you live in Erie County, just steer clear of the homogenized junk served up at Applebees, Texas Roadhouse, Don Pablo's, and The Olive Garden, and hit the privately held establishments in the Falls. Gobble some gnocchi, Fettuccine Alfredo, chicken Parmesan, or good old spaghetti and meatballs at the Como, Michael's, Fortuna’s, Macri's Italian Grille, Gagster’s, Good Fellas Pizzeria, La Bruschetta– ¦.

The list goes on and on and on and on, and what a tasty list it is.
