TripAdvisor Reviews for 2016:
"Too Cool. We loved Corning and especially the Gaffer District. We spent two separate evenings wandering the peaceful but cool area. We drank in the glass art shops and had great meals. Because we were staying at the Radisson, we were just feet from everything!" Reviewed on January 27, 2016 by QuincyKid (Austin, TX).
“This is a very cute area to spend an afternoon. There are an abundance of restaurants to choose from, a few of which offer outdoor dining. There are many vintage shops, jewelry stores and homegoods stores for those who like to shop. We happened to visit during Glassfest and were treated to a bunch of live music, live demonstrations and wine and beer tastings in the shops.” Reviewed on May 27, 2016 by Teeel (Trenton, NJ).
“Hip and Trendy. Spent a day in Corning and enjoyed exploring this district. Fantastic architecture, great restaurants, bars, and shops, friendly people all around. A little gem in the heart of Corning.” Reviewed on July 4, 2016 by ST23 (New Albany, Ohio).
