I noticed this yesterday when I was out. The Happy Wanderer, a German-themed restaurant on Stanley Avenue is for sale. This could have been for sale for a while, I don’t know. My best guess is it was back in June or July, based on the dates on recent reviews. I’ve never been, but the…
There used to be a Jehovah’s Witness building on Stanley Avenue between Ferry St and Robinson St. They sold it a few months ago, and now it is being turned into a restaurant. Apparently Gooee’s Oriental Grill House will be opening soon.

From Niagara This Week: Niagara Falls is starting to heat up and it’s not because of an Indian Summer that some are hoping for. Brasa Brazilian steakhouse and wine bar, a new restaurant at the Hilton Hotel and Suites, is heating up the area with its authentic Brazilian dining experience. Anthony Annunziata, vice-president of marketing…
From the Hamilton Spectator: It isn’t rock’n roll if you play on a stolen guitar. It’s theft. Niagara police are looking for a $20,000 Gibson guitar stolen from the Hard Rock Cafe in the Skyline Inn on Falls Avenue early Sunday morning, shortly before the bar closed. This isn’t just any Gibson. It is a…
I don’t post this as any sort of criticism. I can only imagine how hard/costly/time consuming it must be to keep everything working in tip top shape. I just happened to notice this the other day, and figured I’d post about it. There were lots of lights/signs that need some work on Falls Avenue: The…
On Monday I received an email from the Hilton about the 53 Floors contest. Apparently I won a $5 voucher for Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Based on previous comments (not my own), it’s either going to be really expensive, awesome, or terrible (don’t you love blog comments?!).
From the Niagara Falls Review: The Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office has been called in to investigate a blaze that destroyed the King David Bakery and Cafe early Monday morning on Centre Street, a short distance from Clifton Hill. Members of the Niagara Falls fire department received a call at about 12:50 a. m., of heavy…
Earlier today I tweeted about the fire at King David Bakery. A friend was around when the building was actually burning, and sent me these pictures. Apparently there was a lot of smoke on Clifton Hill.
Back in February I posted about some For Sale signs on the Empress Inn on Clark Avenue. Then a month ago I mentioned how some new signs went up. I never did see a Sold sign, so I don’t know if there are new owners or not. Regardless, the hotel is now called Empress Inn…
