Niagara Convention Groups Get Social with New Niagara Falls Dining Experiences
From a press release seen on HospitalityNET: Delegates at a Niagara convention find more than world-class meeting venues, access to attractions and one of the world’s greatest wonders.

Post Foods to close south Modesto facility, cutting 140 jobs
This isn’t directly related to Niagara Falls tourism, but there is a Post Foods factory in Niagara Falls just a few blocks from Clifton Hill.

Festival of Lights goes bigger, brighter for 35th year
From the Niagara Falls Review: The Winter Festival of Lights turns 35 this year, but for organizers the challenge is making it feel born again every year. So expect more new wrinkles, displays and events when the two-month festival kicks off Nov. 18, says executive director Tina Myers. “The ideas are flowing,” she said after…
The Royal Cafe
As I posted before, the AAAA Royal Hotel is now the Fallsview Lodge. They modified one of the rooms on the Ferry St side to become a small cafe. It looked like it was almost ready to open, and then the other day I saw a notice on the window. Apparently they did all of…
