Everything on the menu at Kabob's is excellent. I especially like the Beef Curry, Coconut Grouper, Greek Salad with gyro meat on it. The pita is fresh and delicious and the Tzatziki Sauce is the best around! The bar is unique as it in a historic building downtown that is long and narrow, it basically runs the length of the building! It has been renovated to period decor Whatever you desire for a libation they can handle Great mediterranean entrees (curries and kabobs) but also has great traditional fair of Italian and steaks etc

This is one of the top places to visit in our area! Originally built as a railroad bridge, the Kinzua Skywalk was created after a tornado took the mid-section of the bridge down in the early 2000's. There is now a visitor's center, several trails, amazing photo spots and sky high views for all seasons. Look for events and festivals at this location too.

Only 2 hours from Bradford, a day at Niagara Falls is easy to do. Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist are favorites as well as walking the path next to the falls. Stop and eat at the Hard Rock Cafe or on your drive home stop in Buffalo for buffalo wings or a good meal at the Cheesecake Factory at the Galleria Mall. If you are on a budget, pack a picnic lunch and eat it next to the falls.

One of my favorite places in the summer. Red House Beach has a nice lake with a sandy beach to swim in. Lifeguards are there to watch the kids too. You can rent kayaks or row boats, purchase ice cream or other foods, bike, picnic and play yard games and volleyball. Other than the $7 per car to get into the park, the beach area is free. Many times, as you drive through the park you will see deer, raccoons, fox, beavers and other wildlife.
