Overall this is the (only) book to buy fif you're visiting Western NY and I'd definitely buy it again

It's just probably due to the crappy economy but SOOOO many businesses listed in the book are out of business that you need to back this book up with a phone call before showing up. This is true of stuff listed on the internet too, not just this book.
We also found that the Maid of the Mist in Niagara (Canada) doesn't run until dusk (per book) it stops at 5 pm.

We've now used this book on two trips to New York state on vacation and it was well worth the price.
