U.S.-to-Canada Road Trip: From New York to Michigan via Ontario

Today, the drive straddles parts of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. Lake Superior is the only lake I won’t see on this road trip because it is the northernmost and westernmost of the Great Lakes of North America.

Many cafes try to do this, but Baristro Asian Style is the first one I’ve visited with a cover charge.
