Things To Do

Every good trip deserves a few side quests. While you're in town, we hope you'll spend a little time getting to know Medina. It's a town full of historic buildings, local businesses, good food, and the kind of small-town charm that makes it easy to spend an afternoon wandering. We've shared a few of our favorite spots below, but don't be afraid to explore a little on your own. Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones you weren't looking for. After all, every good story needs a few unexpected chapters.

Fitzgibbons Public House

429 Main Street, Medina, NY 14103

The kind of Irish pub that makes you wish every town had one. Great food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that will make it hard to leave after just one round. This is right across from the wedding venue. We had fun sitting at the bar making plans.

Factory Espresso at Hart

111 West Center Street, Medina, NY 14103

A charming local coffee shop serving excellent coffee and providing a convincing argument for ordering a second cup. Whether you're fueling up for a day of exploring or attempting to recover from a night of celebrating, this place has your back. Mostly in coffee form.

Author's Note

519 Main Street, Medina, NY 14103

Whether you're a dedicated reader or simply appreciate the smell of a good bookstore, The Author's Note is worth a visit. With thoughtfully stocked shelves, a cozy atmosphere, and the promise of discovering your next great read, it's the kind of place where you stop in for a quick look and leave with a new book and a completely revised schedule for the rest of the afternoon.

Nola's Gaming and Craft Cafe

525 Main Street, Medina, NY 14103

Kill some time in this cozy New Orleans style cafe with authentic beignets and coffee drinks while playing a round of something from their wall of board games.

Dell's Chocolates

512 Main Street, Medina, NY 14103

Delicious, family owned, handmade chocolates. These are the snacks we always take back with us.

Rudy's Diner

118 West Center Street, Medina, NY 14103

A classic greasy spoon diner you might find on route 66, but no, its right behind our wedding venue!

Zambistro

408 Main Street, Medina, NY 14103

A romantic bistro with fantastic steak, wine, and cocktails, and also a selection of upscale Italian-American comfort food (lobster pasta, truffle mac, specialty burgers). This was the first place we had dinner together in Medina.

Local Apple Picking and Wineries

20 mile radius, Medina

Catch the fall foliage changing colors and drive out to one of the MANY apple picking farms or wineries within 20 miles. Maybe even make it a tour!

Buffalo or Niagara Falls

NY

Just about an hour away by car are the cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Buffalo hosts a lively downtown, with plenty of restaurants, bars, a comedy club, casino, botanical garden, and more! Or visit the Falls, of which the Canadian side is especially nice and has plenty of tourism activities and shopping outlets. We live right between both, let us know what you’re interested in and we can help you plan your adventure!
