Like Bill Cosby, I can't resist a good challenge. So when Ben says a review a day for October, I say, "Challenge!"

 1. Red Stag Tavern

1496 Lower Water St
Halifax, NS B3J 3R5
(902) 422-0275

Categories: Restaurants, Bars

3.0 star rating
  10/1/2011

I believe I've become the Duchess of this joint only because it's a regular lunch spot with work folks. This place is a whole lot of meh for me (not enough to give it the two star "meh" though), but that could be because I'm not generally a pub…More »

 2. Garrison Brewing Company

1149 Marginal Rd
Halifax, NS B3H 4P7
(902) 453-5343

Category: Breweries

4.0 star rating
  10/2/2011

A brewery reviewed by a girl who doesn't particularly like beer! I know. This isn't a good start to a review. But I went here for a tour for a friend's birthday and while not exactly a tour (they were in the middle of brewing - which we could see…More »

 3. Sugah!

1479 Lower Water St
Halifax, NS B3J 3Z3
(902) 423-6053

Category: Candy Stores

4.0 star rating
  10/3/2011

Being at Sugah! is literally like being a kid in a candy story. It's a candy store! Full of chocolates they make themselves! And ice cream they make! And then they'll put the stuff they make into that ice cream!

Does this review warrant all the…More »

 4. Sushi Shige Japanese Restaurant

1532 Granville St
Halifax, NS B3J 1W8

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars

4.0 star rating
  10/4/2011

How is it I've not reviewed this place yet? This has been a go-to place for me and some friends since it was on Spring Garden. What it lacks in decor, it makes up for in tasty. A friend was back in town from the T.dot and this was on her list of…More »

 5. Gus' Pub & Grill

2605 Agricola St
Halifax, NS B3K 4C7
(902) 423-7786
4.0 star rating
  10/6/2011

Okay, my fandom for this place comes with a serious disclaimer: this place is kind of sketch. But in a lovable neighbourhood pub kind of way.

It's pretty much the opposite of fancy, but no one is trying to be fancy here. They're just doing what…More »

 6. Cabin Coffee

1554 Hollis St
Halifax, NS B3J 1V3
(902) 422-8130

Category: Coffee & Tea

4.0 star rating
  10/6/2011

Despite having some of the most inconsistent muffins in town, I'm a fan.

The coffee is Java Blend, the atmosphere is the kind of cabin no one actually has, but everyone wishes they did, and the food is good. You make a decent corn chowder (sans…More »

 7. Tom's Little Havana Cafe

5428 Doyle St
Halifax, NS B3J 1H9
(902) 423-8667
5.0 star rating
  10/10/2011

This is one of my favourite Happy Hours in the city. It's tiny and dark and that's just perfect for an after work drink. So perfect, that I'm half tempted not to share.

The house wine is $4.50 and drinkable (maybe even good. But I'm no sommelier). If…More »

 8. Fujiyama Restaurant

5244 Blowers St
Halifax, NS B3J 1J7
(902) 492-1133

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars

4.0 star rating
  10/11/2011

Okay, this is based on only one lunch visit - but that visit was pretty good.  

It was neat to be back in the old La Cave space and the sushi was tasty. They had a good lunch deal (about $9 for two different kids of rolls plus soup) and the sushi was…More »

 9. Deserres Creative Market Place

1546 Barrington St
Halifax, NS B3J
(902) 425-5566
4.0 star rating
  10/10/2011

I still can't get the name of this store straight. I still call it Loomis & Toles. Corporate offices for DeSerres probably hate me. Whatevs, I'm not good with change.

Anyway, I like to pretend at being an artist. You know, I paint, but I don't show…More »

I'll admit, I usually pop in here to avoid the rain/cold when I'm waiting for a bus. But every time I do, I think, "why don't I come here more often?". I miss their $2 magazine rack, but I still love this store. Friendly staff and a great selection…More »

5.0 star rating

My love for the Loop knows no bounds. If you love fibre art (knitting, felting, crocheting, whatevering), this is your heaven. The owners are some of the nicest people ever (passionate about fibre arts and our downtown) and the shelves are full of…More »

 12. Jean's Chinese Restaurant

5972 Spring Garden Rd
Halifax, NS B3H 1Y7
(902) 444-7776

Category: Chinese

3.0 star rating
  10/12/2011

If there were a poll that collected votes on the best of things in the city, this wouldn't be my choice for the best of Chinese food. Having said that, this is a pretty good place - I've eaten here a few times and I'm pretty sure I'll eat here again.…More »

Spring Garden Rd

1.0 star rating

There was no tour y'all, unless you count Ben touring establishments looking for a backup plan to the backup plan.

However! In spite of sheets of rain (literally. I swear), being soaking wet, having to dry ourselves off with napkins, and needing a…More »
