              Cheap Eats

              From the Buffalo News: “The Grand Buffet has a bounty of choices, as it should, so you won’t leave hungry.” To some, brunch is synonymous with sipping mimosas during a leisurely late breakfast-early lunch.

                      “We are open again… and better than ever!”

                      It looks like the Niagara Falls Aviary is open again, having been open for the last week or so: On December 18th, the Aviary had a water show that rivaled the Falls themselves, due to a large 10-inch water main break located inside our building.
