US side of Niagara Falls?

Question

I have an aunt and cousins visiting NY soon from the Philippines. And she insisted that we go see the Niagara Falls on US border. I know.. I know... From hot to COLD. Sighs! I tried to discourage her but she owns a business and it peaks in the summer so here it goes. Anyway, from LGA.. which airport do we land to see the Falls? And is it far from the airport to the Falls? How far and how much are hotels around there? Please help. Thank you.

hey..I can answer some of your Q's. Fly into Buffalo, NY....you should probably stay somewhere in Buffalo or Amherst....Drive to the Falls and be sure to go over the bridge into Canada...because the Falls can truly be appreciated on that side much much better than the US side....Try taking the Maid of the Mist tour boat...it goes under the Falls....I remember it being quite cool...On the way back to wherever you stay stop in a little town called North Tonawanda and go down Payne Avenue...its kind of a blast from the past...its not a place you would choose as your destination...but it is kinda cool...I was born there and all my family is still back there...I myself am in California...which I prefer much more! Have Fun....Actually tell your Aunts they really should see Lake Tahoe in California...now thats more beautiful than Niagara Fall...you fly into Reno Nevada..and drive up the Mountain! Its Breathtaking!
