30 Days of Summer
See All Lists
1. Edmonton Police Service
Edmonton, AB T5H 0H7
(780) 421-3333
I had noticed a vehicle park outside of my home on a Thursday and I had planned to have landscapers come in on the weekend to do my final grade.
I had wrote a friendly note asking to move their vehicle. Friday came. Saturday came. The vehicle was not…More »
2. Blue Plate Diner
Venture Blue Plate Diner on a weekday lunch and you can escape the constant chatter of the office, the wonderful panhandling on Jasper Avenue but not the obnoxious trucks ripping down the street to get to Tony the Tailor.
By far one of the most quaint…More »
3. Tien Tuyen
This had to be by far the nicest looking Vietnamese restaurant in the city. It doesn't have the moldy smell from dirty rags cleaning tables (Tau Bay), the tacky late 80's/early 90's decor (Pagolac South) or rolling carts filled with dirty dishes (Pho…More »
4. Padmanadi Vegetarian Restaurant
Who knew. Who knew vegetarian food would taste so fantastic!
Located in a pretty sketchy part of town, Padamandi's interior to a stark contrast of the run down dreary neighborhood.
Bright pastels with nice wooden accents add to the zen like ambiance…More »
5. Bubble Buzz
Heard about their grand opening a couple of months ago and I'm glad to see another bubble tea cafe downtown besides...that place...in city center (it's obviously not very memorable!).
I really like the summery color scheme they have inside. It really…More »
6. Tres Carnales Taqueria
I was pretty hyped for this place when I saw renovations were being done. Finally decided to take the plunge and left a little underwhelmed.
The line up was rightly justified: this place has a very unique atmosphere. Spanish music was blasting through…More »
7. V Sandwiches
Move over greasy donairs, it looks like you can now get your Vietnamese sub fix after the bars on Whyte. After successfully serving the faithful customers during lunch time on Rice Howard Way, V Sandwiches opened up a small diner on Whyte Ave right…More »
8. McDonald's Restaurants
Usually when I don't feel like cooking or gorging on food, I stop by McDonalds for their two minute serve time and adequete portion size.
I often opt for the tried and true Big Mac, McChicken, or the Quarter Pounder dressed like a Big Mac. A burger,…More »
9. HMV
My usual lunch walks in City Center always include a visit to HMV.
Although we're bombarded with constant commercials of what's out on Blu-Ray this week, it's always nice to see some of the odd unknown and foreign film releases they usually showcase…More »
10. Centre West Smoke Shop
Ran by a very nice Korean family and located right beside the Alberta Blue Cross Building, this little shop offers a variety of snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and emergency supplies for the workers nearby the IBM, Blue Cross, and Government buildings.
…More »
11. Fitness Depot
I needed some exercise equipment and after searching on Kijiji, I wasn't quite satisfied with the weights they were offering.
I was looking for weights that you would find at your local gym. Something about the feel and size of the weights there makes…More »
12. Ets Edmonton Transit System
A great alternative to getting around, the Edmonton Transit gets you to your destination on time (for the most part).
Although I remember the days when fare was only seventy five cents, rates are now sitting at about two dollars and eighty five cents.…More »
13. Oodle Noodle
After experiencing the disaster that is Wok Box, I was very apprehensive to go to Oodle Noodle. However, after much convincing from my coworker, I decided to give it a try.
If you can, try to beat the lunch crowd because this place gets quite busy…More »
14. Totem Building Supplies
I always wondered how the smaller hardware stores like Home Hardware and Totem can keep up with the corporate juggernauts that are Rona, Home Depot, and now Lowe's.
After shopping around for prices for some landscaping supplies, I understand now why…More »
15. Pagolac Restaurant
Those of you who were born in the 70's and 80's will feel just at home coming into Pagaloc South. Located in the used hub cap district of the city, the location of Pagolac is very unassuming and just straight up weird.
Walking into Pagolac is even…More »
16. Moxie's Classic Grill
Good ol' classic Moxies. I'm not quite sure why you exist with other similar restaurants residing in the same vicinity. Do I go to you for your decent appetizers? Do I go to you to devour your giant burger even though the same burger exists right…More »
17. Drift Mobile Eatery
After catching a lot of attention in the states, we finally get some food trucks rolling downtown. You can't miss Drift parked outside 108 Street and between 100 Ave and Jasper. Not only is it a large green truck, but it has a make shift paint easel…More »
18. Wildflower Grill
A friend of mine took me to Wildflower Grill for lunch with instructions to pre-eat first because the portion sizes were small. It seems like I'm already penalizing Wildflower before I even step in there!
Upon entering, I was promptly greeted by the…More »
19. Fatburger
East Edmonton, AB T5J 2Y4
(780) 756-9525
Categories:
Burgers,
Fast Food,
Canadian (Traditional)
Fatburger finally expands to the downtown core. Although it doesn't quite capture the same charm the south side location has created it does do a nice job of creating that old school diner feel.
The menu system is fairly simple: pick a type of burger,…More »
20. Starbucks Coffee Company
After going here for more than 2 years, I thing I like most about this Starbucks is familiarity. I've seen staff come and go but they're often replaced by eager and friendly replacements which are a welcome. The core staff are a mature bunch but they…More »
21. Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse
Infamous for their never ending indulgence of meat I was extremely excited to finally take a stab at Pampa. With the idea of endless meat, how can anyone resist?
Upon walking in, the biggest feature was the rack of wines. There was wines galore! After…More »
22. Lee House
Tucked away in the corner, it's easy to miss Lee House. This little Korean restaurant retains a very old school Asian vibe that makes you feel proud to sit down and give this gem a chance.
It looks like the staff are ran by a family and the service is…More »
23. Rona Home & Garden
My experience with the outdoor/gardening staff was actually very good. Most of my time at Home Depot or Rona consists of wandering aisles looking for an actual sales representative to answer some questions. Rona's garden center was outdoors and I was…More »
24. TD Canada Trust
I've done a majority of my banking at this location not only because of its prime location in the suburbs but because of TD's excellent extended hours. Most banks only open until 16:00 or even 18:00 but with TD Canada Trust, most branches open until…More »
25. Edmonton Go Centre
The Edmonton Go Centre will be the new home for the University of Alberta Bears and Pandas team. Located directly beside the Saville centre, this new facility holds over 8 full sized basketball gyms and a couple of full length volley ball and…More »
26. Corona Coffee Station
Their London Fog's went up in price!! :-(
Now they're just like any other coffee house.

27. The Real Canadian Liquor Store
If I can find a deal, it will bring a smile to my face.
The gauntlet was thrown and I was in charge of a bachelor party. No more inflatable bouncing castles and sitting around the TV watching True Lies. It's the big leagues now and I need to make sure…More »
28. Speeders Indoor Prokarts
Booked a bachelor party here. From the outside, it doesn't look like much but once you step in, these guys are definitely not messing around.
The thing that stood out the most for me were the staff. Every line of staff, from the race marshall to the…More »
29. Diamonds Gentlemen's Club
Edmonton, AB T6H 5C3
(780) 428-2527
Following the age old tradition of bachelor parties, we took our lucky bachelor to a gentle-men's club before he gets hitched.
I called in advanced to let them know I had a group of guys coming a day before. They were really easy going and I instantly…More »
30. Revolution Limosines
To complete a bachelor party, what better way to arrive than to arrive in style?
Revolution Limosines were fairly easy book. They were very flexible and accomodating to our request. With different models and colors to choose from in their fleet, their…More »
31. Lois Hole Library
I recently discovered how awesome the library is.
Constantly restocking their shelves with new books and all types of media, the public library is so diverse to so many different types of people.
You have a kid's corners where smaller children can sit…More »
