Your daily guide to both sides of the Falls

Today's Weather

On the Canada side, Friday is looking sunny with a high of 3°C (37°F) — clear tonight with a low around -7°C. On the US side, expect mostly cloudy skies with a couple of snow showers possible and a high near 36°F — breezy this afternoon, so that wind chill is real. Bundle up either way: coats and hats are appropriate; consider gloves and a scarf.

Eat Today

The Anchor Bar — It's Friday in late March, and if you haven't had Buffalo's most iconic export yet, today's your day. March is also prime fish fry season in Western New York — but the Anchor Bar's real claim to fame is the original 1964 Buffalo-style chicken wings, typically beer-battered and fried to perfection. Order the original sauce, grab extra napkins, and thank us later.

Do Today

Niagara Falls State Park — With that rare sunshine on the Canadian side spilling across the river, today is the ideal morning to cross to Goat Island and take in the views on foot. With spring finally in sight, there's no better time to get moving — participate in a free guided hike or go birdwatching at one of the area's state parks. Best of all, entry is free — just bring those layers.

Stay Tonight

Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino — If you're staying on the US side and want size, comfort, and entertainment under one roof, Seneca is your answer. Named one of the 10 best casinos outside of Las Vegas, Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino is the ideal location to test your luck. Insider tip: the hotel is walkable to the State Park, so you can do nature in the morning and slots at night without moving your car.

Quick Tip

It's Friday during Lent, which means fish fry spots across Western New York are packed tonight — plan your dinner reservation or takeout order early to beat the rush.
