I recently visited the Garneau Theatre for the first time ever and was blown away by its classic atmosphere, comfortable seats and aesthetic appeal. Although I was one of only three people in the room for a 10 a.m. press screening, it's not hard to…More »

  Update - 4/7/2010

Following up my previous review, I've made a point to try Remedy's chai tea and can finally understand what all the fuss is about. Warm and creamy with a thick velvet foam sprinkled with spices, the chai is a world away from the syrup concoction…More »

    I've only ever wound up in Remedy to check out the folk-musician shows they sometimes host upstairs… Read more »

  11/5/2008

It's easy to forget about the Sugar Bowl because it's kind of tucked away in a little clump of businesses at the southern end of the High Level Bridge, but I absolutely love coming to this cafe/restaurant/bar. The atmosphere is dark, warm and…More »

  10/5/2008

I don't really notice it anymore, but it used to be that every time I walked into the Black Dog I'd be hit by the smell of the quintessential English pub: old wood soaked in beer, with an underlying hint of barf. Don't worry, you get used to it.

  6/14/2010

Since they're my neighborhood post office, only a short bike ride away, I pay these guys a visit on at least a weekly basis. There's rarely much of a wait and as mentioned before, often three clerks on desk so lineups are dealt with quickly. Plus -…More »

2.0 star rating
  6/1/2010 First to Review

I know, it's a copy shop, but I always get kind of a weird vibe when I go in here, like they don't actually want my business. Maybe it's that I'm getting just a few colour copies rather than a serious collated piece of printwork done. Scona Copy is…More »

  11/6/2008

I don't pop into Blackbyrd nearly as often as I'd like. As one of the city's best record shops, they're a top location for buying show tickets and stock a good selection of music of all genres. And although I haven't sold anything to them in a few…More »
