Highlights of Erie
1. Flagship City
Today, Erie is known as the “Flagship City,” thanks to its Flagship Niagara, as well as the “Gem City,” as a nod to its sparkling Lake Erie waters. The city celebrates its history, diverse ethnic heritage, strong arts and culture offerings and nearby wine country in its variety of annual festivals.
2. Small Town Charm
Boasting cultural and entertainment options usually only found in a big city, Erie still retains the friendly, relaxed atmosphere of a small town. Locals and visitors alike revel in Erie's nature trails, beaches, entertainment venues, shopping areas and both casual and fine restaurants.
3. Culinary Experience
When it's time to slow down and enjoy a meal, Erie's selection of fine and casual restaurants is sure to satisfy any palate. The casual Smugglers Wharf on Dobbins Landing serves seafood and American classics in a relaxed, Key West-inspired setting.
