在可愛的劉易斯頓紐約漫步，ton飲和睡覺

As we drove down Center Street into Lewiston New York my head kept turning from side-to-side eagerly taking in the sights of the town. The boutiques, the restaurants, the cafés, the bakeries…couples both young and old, parents with children all strolling along the street.

布法羅尼亞加拉地區的Lewiston村距離尼亞加拉大瀑布只有幾分鐘路程，位於尼亞加拉河沿岸，是那些您可以輕而易舉地走在街上的小村莊之一。實際上它是如此美麗，以至於就像電影或電視節目中的東西一樣！

I spent one day there and I’m eager to return because one day is not enough. Lewiston is one of those places that you can return to over and over again – just to spend time on the riverfront or sit in a café….

Strolling in Lewiston New York – Very serene, very friendly, VERY welcoming….

I mentioned the cafés and the boutiques but to be truthful, I didn’t really have time to explore them all in detail due to time constraints so, I’ll have to leave that for next time. But I did spend time on the waterfront overlooking the 尼亞加拉河.

The water of the river was so incredibly calm and glass-like that I didn’t even realize that it was, in fact, the Niagara River that flows into the Falls!

Supping at Carmelo’s Restaurant

紐約州劉易斯頓中心街425號14092
http://www.carmelos-restaurant.com/

Carmelo’s Restaurant has been in operation at this very same location since it opened its door in 1980. Initially operated by Chef/Proprietor Carmelo Raimondi’s father (whose bust sits proudly by the front door) this Italian eatery is definitely the talk of the town.

Whenever we were asked where we were dining for the evening and we said “Carmelo’s” the reactions were always “oh – get the….” or “they have the best….” and it always ended with “….it’s to die for…”

有了這樣的反應，毫無疑問，這家屢獲殊榮的餐廳在一個工作日的晚上非常忙，餐廳前的露台已滿員。對於那些在露台上的食客來說，一個很好的巧合是他們在街角的涼亭裡有一支現場爵士樂隊在演奏。

我們三個分享了以下內容：

Arancini –湯圓和煙熏番茄醬$6
Spicy Pork Meatballs – with swiss chard, crispy parmigiana & pork jus $10

Squid Salad with romaine, chili-lime vinaigrette & smoked peanuts $10

Squid Ink Calamarata with gulf shrimp, squid & tomato sauce $25

Chitarra with little neck clams, red pepper flakes & breadcrumbs $22

Chicken Under the Brick with calabrian pepper glaze, chard pancake & lemon crema $20

Mascarpone Cheesecake with roasted strawberries & 18-year-old balsamic $7

The pasta is all home made in house and everything, including the decor, is beautifully rustic. The service was attentive and not rushed and the price is very reasonable compared to the quality of food. The menu is seasonal and I particularly loved the appetizers and next time (if they are still on the menu) I’ll probably just do a repeat of those dishes but not share. Out of all the entrées, the chicken was the best and was – as we were told – “to die for”.

睡在巴頓山溫泉酒店

紐約市劉易斯頓中心街100號，14092

我們住在歷史悠久的 巴頓山溫泉酒店 overlooking the River. Built in 1812 – the hotel does not look its age at all. With dark wood floors and antique furniture throughout it makes for a very tastefully decorated place.

我住的房間叫河景靜修處：

• 帶豪華亞麻的特大號床
• 石灰石步入式（僅限淋浴）
• 客廳和書桌區
• 火場
• 平板電視
• 時鐘，帶有iPod擴展塢和自然的聲音
• 免費停車
• 免費wifi上網

There is a dining room – the Chantry Restaurant and Bar with a large outdoor terrace on the second floor and this is where the complimentary breakfast is held. Breakfast consisted of fresh-baked pastries, fresh fruit, juices, coffee, tea, and yoghurt…it’s pretty standard fare but it’s the view from the terrace during breakfast that makes up for it all as the dining room is quite dark.

我絕對肯定會再次回到這家酒店，因為我的房間和我的住宿總體上都非常舒適，整潔而且還算不錯，但是我確實有一些非常小的問題/評論：

• 空調凍結了。有些人可能會喜歡，但我覺得實在太冷了，並發現遙控器令人困惑。沒有任何說明，我只是關閉了整個系統。
• 房間裡沒有熨斗或熨板，您認為在這個級別的酒店是標準的。
• 也沒有行李架，所以我把行李箱留在無背長椅上。
• 令我感到困惑的是，浴室還有近十個架子，它們完全空了，上面什麼也沒顯示。
• 停車場很尷尬，供不應求。沒有代客泊車服務，因此您必須將車停在山下的街道上或建築物側面的礫石上。

The next time you are thinking of somewhere to go for a nice getaway near Niagara Falls. Check out Lewiston New York, Carmelo’s Restaurant and Barton Hill Hotel and Spa you won’t be sorry.
