"Some may say it’s crazy to build Niagara’s newest craft brewery on the street of fun..." Located in the heart of Clifton Hill, one of the main tourist hubs in Niagara Falls, The Niagara Brewing Company has been crafting batches after batches of beer since 2015. Whether you're a beer aficionado or simply looking to unwind with friends, the place offers a welcoming environment to sip, savour and enjoy the best of the local brews.

"A true farm-to-table experience!" A culinary gem in the heart of the Niagara Falls area, AG Inspired Cuisine is proudly named one of Canada's top fine-dining restaurants.

My BFF and I went for the Three Course Menu priced at  C$99.00 (~S$97.90)  per person.

No beavers are harmed in the making! Fancy some deep-fried dough pastries that are individually hand-stretched to resemble the tails of beavers?

Since then, it's expanded to six countries, including the USA, the UAE, Mexico, France and Japan at the point of writing.

How does French toast coated with cornflakes sound? During my inaugural visit to Toronto, Canada, I had the opportunity to explore the area for a few days.
