Niagara Falls

I remember the first time I visited the temple of Abu Simbel in Upper Egypt (which is really Lower Egypt, but that is for another time). I felt so small. There, above me, stood towering, 68-foot-tall statues of Ramesses II, and it was so overwhelming that I was never able to forget that moment. It was the first time I had experienced such a strong reaction to a place. I felt it right in my gut, in my soul, and I touched one of the statues to make sure it was real. I had seen many other incredible places in my lifetime, both natural and manmade, and have seen many since; but nothing ever struck me quite as strongly again, until I witnessed the rushing waters of Niagara Falls. It was like thunder: pure power crashing down 50 meters, slamming, crushing, the mist rising up like a steady rain. At Abu Simbel, I saw what man could do, but also that humankind could never match the power of nature. Niagara Falls is something I can watch over and over again, and of which I’ll never tire. The region surrounding the falls, on both sides, has so much to offer. Niagara-on-the-Lake, north of the falls in Canada, is not to be missed for its wine and theater—nor is Buffalo, named “America’s Favorite City” by readers of Travel and Leisure.

About Eric Gordon

Eric J Gordon has been working in the travel and tourism industry for over 25 years and founded Beyond Times Square, a leading New York-based company in 2003.

Eric is the son of Harold Gordon, the founder of Park East Tours, one of the first USA based African Safari Companies. Eric is a native New Yorker. He was raised just outside of NYC in Rockland County, but because of his parents love for NYC (they owned an apartment in Manhattan) and his father’s passion for Broadway Theater, Eric spent much of his youth in Manhattan.

Eric jumped out of college and into the safari business. After 10 years at Park East and selling the business, he moved on. Having spent so much time in New York, he declared himself a New York Expert. He saw the fragmentation in the New York City tourism industry and created Beyond Times Square, making many services available to travelers. He set out appealing to the group market and then moved on to private high-end luxury vacations in New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia and Niagara Falls. The name Beyond Times Square grew and in 2012 Beyond Times Square became the preferred on-site tour company for the prestigious Virtuoso Luxury Travel Consortium. He also was voted on to the board of NYC&Co in 2014, serving as the first tour operator member.

Eric holds a BA in Psychology from the State University of New York College at Oswego and an MBA from Baruch College in NYC. He has visited 47 of 50 states, over 40 countries and counting.
