Great little neighborhood park with paths, soccer and baseball fields. Hadley portion was built for small children including those with disabilities. Very popular in warm months.

This is a gem of a find in the heartbreakingly challenged New York side of Niagara Falls (aka Niagara Falls, NY). Full disclosure: My wife is from the Falls, although we've been away for many years. A top-notch chef suggested this restaurant and bar to us and were so glad that he did. I had an impressive pizza and a couple of glasses of wine. The server was very personable and I could tell that she could help both people who know wine (like us) or those who might not be as familiar. The business has been around for more than a decade, has convenient parking nearby. The design is modern and cool. I could see it being a great destination for drinks/wine only or dinner or both. In the sense that we are cheering (and praying) for greater success for Niagara Falls, NY, we hope Wine on Third continues to enjoy a steady business and that the surrounding area can gain some economic traction. Highly recommended, especially if you are down for wine/drinks. All of it in our view was reasonably price, as folks who travel quite a bit inside the U.S. and beyond.

Start with the lovely and delightful community where this authentic Italian eatery is located, add a strong Amalfi Coast theme and you have a winning combination in Limoncello. (Pro tip: It isn't LEMON-cello. Pronounce "LEE" for the first syllable). Depending on the season, there are good seating options in the main dining room and the patio in the back, the latter decorated with yellow and artificial lemons to underscore the theme. We made reservations for a weekend evening and were promptly taken to our table. The server was a bit awkward but got the job done and the drinks/wine/first and second courses all came out in good order. As you'll see in the photos, the specialty Limoncello martini is a cocktail version of a work of art and is truly delicious. We had complimentary bread and olive oil with a touch of balsamic brought to the table first to get us started. The pastas and salads were delicious. Parking on the street can be crowded/busy, but there are some public lots nearby and also parking on the nearby side streets. As fans of authentic Italian cuisine, as opposed to Italian-American, this was an excellent option and one we'd gladly return to in the future.

This used to be a sleepy little almost humble shopping center, but has been renovated and spruced up considerably in recent years. It features a Giant grocery (newly renovated as well), a large CVS, multiple restaurants ranging from fast-casual to full service. There's also a smaller indoor mall with a few locally owned outlets. Now, it feels a bit on the trendy side.

Traffic through the variety of parking areas can be a bit challenging. I prefer to park in the back and away from the not-always-optimal drivers, even if it means I'll need to walk a bit.
