There's one restaurant that sits right on the cusp of the falls, and that is the aptly named Top of Falls Restaurant.



This restaurant is located on the American side and in the state park, so that also helps make it unique. Unfortunately, we weren't really seated near the falls so we didn't get a great view.



But I did get to try something new: Beef on Weck. This is apparently a Western New York staple, with sliced seared beef, horseradish, au jus on a salted NY caraway roll.



This was pretty standard and exactly what I thought. The horseradish was less of sauce and more of straight horseradish, which was interesting. Have you tried it?

So, this post is less about the food, but more about me wanting to show off all the cool stuff we did while in Niagara Falls. But, I want to center it around the ice cream shop at the Cave of Winds attraction.



The ice cream I got was Perry’s Niagara Delight flavor: vanilla ice cream with caramel swirls, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered peanuts and praline peanuts! How cute is that?



So, the ice cream was unique since that flavor can only be found in Niagara Falls. But, the place where it took place was also super cool!



Cave of the Winds is an attraction that is essentially a boardwalk that is on the edge of the American Falls and even has a few spots that weave in and out of the falls. So, you can get a taste of what it's like to be in them!



Here's a view of them from the top - I was up here on an island between the falls. So neat!




And here's a view from the Maid of the Mist, which takes you right up to the Canadian Falls - where it feels like you're in them!




This is from the island between the falls!



Seeing the falls just a little bit upstream where it's rockier.



This is from the Journey Behind the Falls attraction where we walked behind the falls - and right up beside them here!
