  • Taughannock Falls and Taughannock Falls State Park in the Ithaca area. That entire area of the Finger Lakes is beautiful. For something a little closer to home, Glen Park in Williamsville creates a very romantic setting.

  • With three boys in the house, this doesn’t happen a lot. But on our 15th anniversary, my wife and I went to East Lake Bed and Breakfast on Conesus Lake—between here and Rochester. It was fantastic.

  • The Mansion on Delaware (414 Delaware Ave., Buffalo)—my wife and I go there for our anniversary every year. They take very good care of you, have a van to drive you to dinner and back, and treat you like royalty. Compared to average hotels in other cities, it’s certainly a deal.

Readers weigh in on last week’s question.

Where do you take out-of-town visitors?

When we have job candidates, believe it or not, we take them to Wegmans! The variety and quality of the food suggest to visitors that Buffalo is quite a cosmopolitan place to live, or at least to eat!

We like to take our visitors to the Grand Canyon of the East, Letchworth State Park. Every season is breathtaking at Letchworth.

Another opinion on where to find the best fish fry

Doug’s Dive at the Small Boat Harbor. The only downside is that it’s closed in the winter, but it’s in a great location and has a good relaxed atmosphere with good food.
