Before boarding the Whirlpool Jetboat for the second time, the two RV Gypsies and their grandson ate at the Silo Restaurant, located just a splash from Niagara Falls on the bank of the mighty Niagara River. The Silo Restaurant operates inside an architectural wonder: a re-purposed, mighty, historic coal silo. It serves delicious, famous food that is said to be celebrated locally and around the world! Its menu is made up of American classics, creative gourmet sandwiches and salads, and award-winning burgers made from only the finest, freshest American beef. Certified lean, grass-fed and free from steroids and hormones, it's beef the way nature intended – and the proof is in the flavor. Food is sourced only from the best available ingredients, which are delivered fresh daily from local farms and trusted partners.

The Silo Restaurant has always been an important part of Lewiston waterfront history. In the 1920-30's, tourists boarded steamers at the Silo to go to Toronto. The Silo has been featured on the Travel Channel's Man v. Food.

In 2010, the Silo Restaurant expanded its operation by moving the old caboose from Ted Mar’s to the waterfront. The caboose serves as the Silo’s Ice Cream operation, and adds more seating outside, which Alex enjoyed.

Besides watching the Jetboat go by, the two RV Gypsies also looked out from their lunch table at the Silo to see a beautiful sailboat - The Black Pearl.

After eating, the two RV Gypsies and their grandson walked around to the back of The Silo to get a better look at The Black Pearl. Then they walked around the park and area. After the Jetboat ride, they returned to The Silo for an ice cream before going on a boat ride through the Erie Canal locks.
