Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- DylanRochester, NY5 contributionsCorning overall holds many beautiful sights, and the Gaffer District (often known simply as "Market Street" by the surrounding locals), goes from pretty to absolutely spectacular for Independence Day and especially for Christmas festivities. Can't miss out!Written 7 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas MKennesaw, GA2,216 contributionsCenterway Square is the heart of Corning. It is known as the gaffer district and is about 8 city blocks. In the center of the square is a clocktower built in 1883. The Centerway Walking bridge was built in 1921. You can walk across in from the square to the Corning Museum of Glass (CMofG). That bridge crosses the Chemung river. On one corner if the square is a building that used to be a bank. Another corner has the old Baron Steuben hotel which is now a visitors center and restaurant/ice cream parlor. Across the street is a bus stop for the CMofG shuttle which comes about every 10 or 15 minutes. Live music on some days on the stage. A short walking distance is a park. Table and chairs are in the square. People sit and have lunch, snacks, ice cream. My only complaint is way too much dog hair on the ground around the tables. Recommend have those areas blown off once or twice a week. Not appetizing when eating.Written 15 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jodi H100 contributionsAfter visiting the Corning Museum of Glass I learned more about this tower. The little boys that used to have to blow the hot glass for the adults as they passed it off to them. This tower represents the history of glass and the industrial revolution that took place in the area. I enjoyed my visit here.Written 5 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Marilyn MCortland, NY364 contributionsWe were impressed with the high quality of art at the West End Gallery. Judy Soprano as one of the featured artists offers a wide variety of FLX scenes, each one is a gem. Other artists complement her work, & of course, the glassware is gorgeous - it is in Corning after all!Written 18 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
