Since you know of Stella Niagara did you know during the War of 1812, on December 13, 1813, a large force of British soldiers landed at the site of Stella Niagara, marched to Lewiston and burned every building but one to the ground. Hustler’s Tavern was the only building left standing. It is said that the reason this building was left standing was due to the British officers remembering too many good times there sipping a “cocktail” - a drink that the owner Catherine Hustler is credited with inventing.
So we WNYorker's are not only famous for losing 4 straight Super Bowls but more importantly being the seat of the original "cocktail"! Something that has served all of us well especially after 4 Super Bowl loses..
