Jenny’s Clayhouse
Jenny’s Clayhouse, one of Buffalo’s first and only paint-your-own-pottery studios, calls out to artists and craftists looking to cast off faded paint-by-number books to animate stylish ceramics while sipping on home-brought spirits. Sloping picture windows span from floor to ceiling in the airy space, splashing sunlight across the studio’s selection of domestic staples—including mugs, plates, and piggy banks. After guests gleam the once-white objets d’art, Jenny’s staff will summon flames to bake and glaze the handheld masterpieces to protect them from wear and raw-food dieters. Pintsize painters can polish their brushstrokes at Jenny’s summer-camp sessions, or gather friends, teachers, and New York Times art critics for a pottery-painting birthday party or after-school outing.

Theater Night for One, Two, or Four to See “Buffalo Quickies” at Alleyway Theatre (Up to 55% Off)
Many theatergoers claim that life imitates art, which can be frustrating when they pause arguments for intermissions or direct drivers to turn “stage left” at stop signs. Learn to navigate the theatrical world with today’s Groupon to see “Buffalo Quickies” at Alleyway Theatre. The show runs on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. from March 1 to March 17. Choose from the following options:
- For , you get one ticket for general-admission seating (up to a value).
- For , you get two tickets for general-admission seating (up to a value).
- For , you get four tickets for general-admission seating (up to a 0 value).
Now in its 21st incarnation, “Buffalo Quickies” graces the Alleyway stage each year with a sextet of fresh one-act plays. This season, director Joyce Stilson leads an ensemble of four actors through short works that focus on actions of the heart. The production highlights the one-act winner of the Maxim Mazumdar New Play Competition, founded in honor of one of the Alleyway’s earliest artistic contributors. The play, Anson Mount’s Love Liza?, introduces the audience to an immigration office, where analysts comb through records to find evidence of green-card marriages, and a particular inspection is compromised by one examiner’s personal feelings. Also on stage, Exterior. A Train Station. Night. by Christopher Morse transports viewers to the world of filmmaking as an actor and writer struggle to complete work, and Jay C. Rehak’s A Courtesy Call shows both the giving and receiving sides of prank phone calls. Audience members recline under the ceiling of a converted bus depot, which Alleyway calls home year after year, throwing up new plays and musicals to ignite cultural fervor around town and within other theatrically barren bus depots.

One-Night Stay for Two in a Cityview or Fallsview Room Marriott Gateway on the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario
AAA Four Diamond Hotel Overlooking Niagara Falls
At Niagara Falls, one of the seven natural wonders, water thunders over the edge at a height of nearly 200 feet and crashes onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in views of photogenic spots such as American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls. The AAA Four Diamond Marriott Gateway on the Falls features a terrace, an observation deck, and 32 stories of picture windows overlooking the majestic rushing waters of Niagara Falls.
Floor-to-ceiling windows also provide vistas of the cascades at the onsite Milestones Grill + Bar on the mezzanine level. Here, guests dine on breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrees including wild Pacific coho salmon (.99) and grilled mediterranean chicken (.99); two domestic beers, glasses of house wine, or highball drinks are also included with the Getaway.
After taking a swim in the indoor pool or training to deliver medicine balls to needy bodybuilders in the fitness center, guests can retire to Cityview rooms, which overlook the city of Niagara Falls. Fallsview rooms provide a close-up peek of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and American Falls.
Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls in Historical River Town
Vacationers first began filing in droves to Niagara Falls in the antebellum era, and the destination later became popular for honeymooners in the mid 20th century. In 1885, the New York State Legislature created the Niagara Reservation to protect and preserve the falls, which were at risk of being overrun by commercial development. Today, the tourism industry remains the vital lifeline of the town, and though the falls themselves may be protected from commercial enterprise, the surrounding area is fair game. On the Canadian side, along Fallsview Boulevard, casinos, indoor water parks, restaurants, and shops have sprung up, catering to the influx of visitors from all over the world who come to admire the falls’ astounding beauty and the eminent mist that doubles as makeup remover.
For travelers who want to feel the spray, the iconic Maid of the Mist has ferried raincoat-clad passengers around the base of the falls since 1846. The tours begin running in early April, depending on the river’s ice conditions. Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls. After boarding an elevator, visitors descend through the bedrock and are dropped off at observation decks steps away from the cascading water.

One-Night Stay for Two at Sheraton At The Falls in Niagara Falls, New York
Spacious Accommodations in the Heart of Niagara Falls
After discovering the Niagara Falls in 1678, Franciscan missionary Louis Hennepin wrote in his journal that the iconic destination was a “prodigious Cadence of Water which falls down after a surpizing [sic] and astonishing manner, insomuch that the Universe does not afford its Parallel.” During the past 300 years, the falls have inspired more than just awed journal entries. Upward of eight million visitors a year come to the cascades, from poncho-clad honeymooners to daredevils who climb into wooden barrels or rubber balls and take the 175-foot plunge in an attempt to conquer the rapids. Sheraton At The Falls is positioned conveniently just 1 mile east of the falls on New York soil, within walking distance of several attractions.
At Sheraton At The Falls, there’s a focus on comfort in the spacious guest rooms: plush custom mattresses bolster the Sheraton’s signature Sweet Sleeper beds layered with an assortment of feather and down pillows. On the first floor, T.G.I. Friday’s serves 10-ounce sirloin steaks, Black Angus burgers, and other hearty American fare.
Directly across from the hotel is the Seneca Niagara Casino, which hums with activity 24 hours a day. Between walls of stained-glass windows, the neon lights from more than 4,200 slot machines set the casino aglow, and colorful card tables host rounds of blackjack, craps, roulette, and musical chairs. A more soothing ambiance washes over The Spa at Seneca Niagara Casino, which offers body-healing therapies, massages, and salon services. Guests can apply a credit toward any treatment or more, such as a custom facial () or an aromatherapy body salt glow (0).
Niagara Falls, New York: Awe-Inspiring Waterfalls and World-Class Casinos
Encompassing more than 400 acres, Niagara Falls State Park functions as a natural border between Canada and the United States. Both sides of the border are peppered with vantage points to check out the falls, where more than a million bathtubs’ worth of water crashes to the river below every second. Pedestrian bridges and observation decks provide safe vistas for tourists to watch Horseshoe Falls and American Falls plunge over jagged cliffs. The most invigorating view might be from the Hurricane Deck—a wooden platform located 20 feet from Bridal Veil Falls. Access the platform by taking The Cave of the Winds tour, during which professional guides lead poncho-clad visitors to Bridal Veil Falls via tiers of wooden scaffolding.
