So... where do I stay in Toronto?

This thread is better suited for IMHO.

I’ll move it for you.

I’d recommend otherwise. The falls are spectacular and worth a visit. But everything else in Niagara Falls - not so much. It’s a combination of rust belt factory town and cheap tourist trap. It’s worth stopping and spending a few hours at the falls if you’re in the area or are passing through. But it’s not really worth going to as a weekend destination.

Niagara-on-the-Lake, nearby, however, is worth more than a casual visit. Especially if you like wine.

I was going to mention Niagara-on-the-Lake as a good destination if you aren’t going to make it to Toronto.

Niagara Fallsian checking in. What LN is describing is Niagara Falls, NY. Unfortunately, it really is a rusting shell of it’s former booming self. Outside of the tourist areas, it’s depressing and sometimes dangerous.

OTOH, Niagara Falls, ON is an entirely different ballgame. There’s enough to see and do for a long weekend. I’m getting ready to leave work shortly, but later this evening I’ll try to post links to a variety of cool sights.

Err, no thanks. I’m a vegetarian.
