Walls Underground Railroad Museum
One of the best Underground Railroad historical displays is at the Walls Underground Railroad Museum, 20km east of Windsor. The original 1846 log cabin built by John Freeman Walls, a fugitive slave from North Carolina, is still here; it functioned as a safe terminal for others searching for freedom. Walls’ descendants still run the museum.

Spago Trattoria e Pizzeria
Windsor has a reputation for its Italian, and this is the place to dip your tongue in some. If you’re not in the mood for delicious pasta, the clean-shaven staff also deliver outstanding pizzas from the wood-fired oven. Upstairs, the Spago Ristorante Italiano has a similar menu and a bar that stays open late.

Caesar’s Windsor
The super-plush Caesar’s Windsor overlooking the river provides a fat economic injection for Windsor, though the crowds have declined with passport legislation. Still, the giant screen advertises big-name shows to potential customers across the river. Minimum age 19 years.

Bubi’s Awesome Eats
Though Bubi’s boasts big servings of garlic anything, it actually has a varied menu that appeals to someone who forgot their after-dinner breath mints: burgers, wraps, tacos and curries. It’s nothing fancy, but well priced and friendly.
