The Niagara Mohawk building is an iconic landmark in the city as it is a sizable building in an Art Deco architectural style. The building was the head office of the Niagara Hudson Electric Company (now the National Grid Company) and glitters and sparkles to ensure that it really does look like a ‘cathedral of light.’ It is a protected historic landmark, with the added attraction that it now changes colour at the push of a button!

This area is known for its 17 historic buildings, which date from the mid-19th century when the area was the city’s commercial district. The buildings are mainly situated around the large leafy plaza. There are a variety of architectural styles to see, including several buildings that feature Onondaga limestone.

If you enjoy barbecued food, you will enjoy Dinosaur Barbecue. The restaurant started in 1983 as a mobile restaurant that was popular with bikers. The food became such a hit that the owners bought their first restaurant and bar and now own a chain! There is a good range of meat on the menu, including the most popular — spare ribs. The restaurant is regularly featured on American TV, and the owners have published a top-selling cookery book.
