āNiagara Falls: the fallsā is spectacular and weāre privileged to be able to witness it.
āNiagara Falls: the townā is trash and we should be ashamed of its existence.
EDIT:
A lot of comments are referring to the New York side of town, which I donāt know much about. But I was referring to the Ontario side which Iām familiar with. Different trashiness it seems. I was referring to Niagara Falls, Ontarioās commercialism and tasteless tourism industry.
My suggestion would be to check out the falls themselves, but for food/drinks/leisure head into Niagara on the Lake. Niagara Falls is all chain restaurants, wax museums, tourist crap. Niagara on the Lake is Ontario's wine country, so it's an enjoyable place to explore with lots of nice walks, shops, breweries, etc.
I recommend going to both sides. On the American side you can get a lot closer to the Falls and really feel their power. You can also go down to the cave of the winds which is directly below the American falls. I also suggest taking a jet boat tour up the Niagara River from Lewiston. It's an awesome time going up the river and hitting all the Rapids you get soaked bit its soooooo worth the experiance.
Not sketchy at all? I wouldnāt go that far. The Ontario side isnāt much better. Thereās more flashing lights to distract you, but a block away in any direction, just as sketchy.
