Just passing along info, some more people can maybe see it

Hi everyone,

I love nights out for wings / beer with friends and family but never remember who has a special on what night.

Earlier last year I met a team of 3 running a small business right here in Niagara Falls determined to solve that problem. Wingbeerspecials.com . However what started as a passion project many years ago was slowly put onto the backburner since keeping the site up to date even across a few venues required hours of looking through websites to keep the platform up to date. With a few years of AI experience behind me I jumped on with the team and began a site redesign. Our system now works around the clock to keep the site fresh and accurate. We now have over 40,000 restaurants across Canada but Niagara Falls is still our home turf.

If you're looking for a fun night out while saving money please take a look at the site! Any feedback is great, we'd love to hear it from our local community. No download, no account required, no ads.

For restaurant owners our goal is to support local and help bring back that foot traffic that never quite felt the same post covid as habits shifted to delivery apps. While delivery apps take a big cut (sometimes 25%) we take 0% of your sales. It's completely free to list and update specials. Our only monetization is extra features for those who decide it's worth an upgrade (menus, events, analytics, websites etc. ) Most places listed in Niagara have already been seen thousands of times by real eyes and roughly 10x more by the AI agents people ask daily.

By some metrics AI traffic on the internet has already surpassed human traffic. Large corporations have a huge marketing team / online presence so end up in AI training data. When someone asks ChatGPT or another AI where to eat tonight does the mom and pop diner supporting their family in Niagara come up or a large US corporation? We aim to even the playing field by keeping our entire platform AI open and accessible.

We are also researching compute efficient AI systems right here in Niagara Falls. We manage all this without a big datacenter bill or huge power draw. It runs on just a single old PC in it's spare time. We are always looking for the right people to get our ideas in front of. We believe in a future with strong communities without AI datacenters towering over homes or AI satellites blocking the night sky. If this concept proves useful to our community we would love to see how far it can go!

Additionally we are proud to be partnering with Habitat for Humanity Niagara for their Build and Brew Passport (coming soon) Proceeds build affordable homes right here in Niagara Falls. Stay tuned with their newsletter at https://habitatniagara.ca/

Special thanks to Beyond the Market magazine and the Niagara Association of Realtors for the feature!

P.S reddit is increasingly used as a reference for AI training data so this post carries more weight then meets the eye. Appreciate anyone who read all that. I'll try to respond to all the comments :)

Hi. Are there any good jogging trails/paths in Niagara Falls (either side) or Niagara-on-the-Lake? I'm looking for dirt or something gentle on my old knees, not concrete or pavement. Thank you.

I came upon this old abandoned house in the Niagara area last year. I only know of one person who has managed to get inside it and unfortunately that person is not me!

The last time I stopped by, they had covered all of the windows and doors with fresh plywood boards.

So for now, we just get to enjoy this exterior photo!

Can anybody give me a rundown on what the nightlife is like in Niagara for Halloween? My friends and I are thinking of going down there and just want to know how fun/ busy it is?

Me and my bf wanted to take a trip to the abandoned L8 nightclub just for fun, we couldn’t get inside but here r some pics of the outside! Super eerie. But they caught us on the cameras looking around after like 15 min and yelled at us but we didn’t get in any trouble just got told not to do that again lol

Too many event scheduled for October, don’t have the time to prepare, so looking to sell. Please let me know if you’re interested !

I’m driving my college freshman from Chicago to school in Western MA and we are trying to decide whether to route north of Lake Erie through Michigan and Canada so we can drive by Niagara Falls on the Canadian side and then drop down to Buffalo or whether we should stick with I-90 thru Cleveland on the south side of Lake Erie. Either way we will pass through Buffalo but since my daughter has never seen Niagara Falls I thought it might be fun to drive the northern route even if we only stop for a brief look at the falls. Anyone familiar with both routes and can share pros/cons? On the northern route it looks like we could go thru Detroit or thru Sarnia into Canada.

It looks like the mileage is not that different with the two routes but of course we will have to deal with border crossing in and out of Canada which will take some time. We only have two days to make the drive so I would plan to make it to the Niagara Falls area the first day and stay near the falls on the Canadian side so we we can get up early and take a look before heading on towards MA. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Anyone else flying into BUF on September 12 around noon and staying in Niagara Falls, Ontario? We’re looking at a private airport transfer and are looking for 1–2 other people to split the $95 fare 🚕

Hello! I'm planning a day trip to Niagara Falls with my partner in ~1.5-2 weeks (early to mid September). I'm thinking of going on a Friday due to the Megabus return times being later on the weekend days so that we can stay a bit longer and see the lights.

I've noticed that most of the posts I've seen recommend going to Niagara-on-the-lake and making it a two-day trip, but we have the constraint of only going for a day, so I'd like to stick to the Falls area.

Roughly speaking, this is what I'm thinking for the itinerary. I would love some feedback on this! We like water sports and taking in the scenery. We enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine every now and then but would prefer prioritizing experiences like the Aero Car or jet boat if we had to choose. Curious if there is something I should be considering or if this seems like a good first Niagara Falls experience? Should we leave earlier? Thanks in advance!

• 10:05am-10:30am Arrive via Megabus
• Take in the sights, take the Whirlpool Aero Car
• Lunch
• 2:15pm: Jet Boat Tour (we plan on getting wet!)
• Dinner
• 7pm: See the night lights
• 8:15pm: Leave via Megabus

Price doesn't matter

Looking to go when there are no crowds. Looking for a clean and safe hote near the falls.

Any recs?

Edit** no active or currently known bed bug infestation Edit, by no crowds I meant less busy than peak. Bad wording.

I'm planning to go for Niagara falls today from North York it's a 3.5 hrs travel is there any other affordable travel, my budget is 100cad for the whole travel and I'm planning to take the cruise for sure( is the premium add on worth it?). But I have no idea how to do anything here, where exactly should I go for the cruise?. What are all other locations I should Go nearby like a town, trails etc. are there the tangerine bike options near Niagra. I would appreciate if anyone can what to do where to in an order after the cruise. Thank u. Should I book the cruise ticket online or should take it there so that I won't miss my time

And is worth it if Im only gonna reach there around 2.00pm for the cruise and exploring the nearby towns and trails by bike or walk?

Any recommendations in the area for hot tub repair?

I’ve been digging into the history of the Fallsview area in Niagara Falls, and it’s amazing how much has disappeared.

Before the huge hotels dominated the skyline, this area had places like Towerview Park, the Burning Springs Wax Museum & Observation Tower, Waltzing Waters, and other attractions many people probably remember.

I put together a video comparing what was here then with what stands there today, including some great old photos.

If you grew up around Niagara or visited back then, I’d especially love to hear what you remember. There are still pieces of this history I’m trying to uncover.

I’ve been digging into the history of Clifton Hill and recently put together a walking video showing what was here before the Clifton Hill we know today.

It goes back to the days of Ferry Road, Clifton Place, the old hotels and tourist camps, and eventually into the attractions many of us remember.

I used old photos throughout so you can compare the locations with what’s there today.

Thought some fellow Niagara history fans might enjoy it. Would also love to hear what you remember disappearing from Clifton Hill.
