Birthday supper on a Saturday night. The place was full of people and we hadn't made a reservation. Not to worry though, the staff at Opa! found a way to seat us anyway. Within 5 minutes of walking in.

The food was amazing. Each visit comes with…More »

I'm torn over Pretty Things. I love the idea of having a retro clothing store close to home but at the same time I've found the place to be a mixed bag.

The sizing can be a bit of a nightmare if you are blessed in the chest and hips. I normally am a…More »

Citadel Hill? Titanic Graveyard? Other things Halifax is famously known for? Fuck those shows. To a teenaged me in nowhere No Funswick the Black Market was Halifax.  I had a dream of moving to Halifax,to live on top of the Black Market and work there…More »

I need to start this off by saying if you want to go to a VV go to this location. It's clean, the employees are nice and they have a good selection of books and art.

Their name though has sadly lost all meaning and will some-day soon be made into a…More »

The $2 bin is the place to be. I appreciate the fact that the store isn't over priced even though it could be. Great place to bring your out of town friends.

Excellent little hidden store on Blowers Street. Great place to find TUK shoes and some Demonias. The staff are always awesome and writing this review reminds me that I should go in for a visit soon.

I love this Sally Ann. It's location is not only downtown but also in the midst of all the Universities. Due to students donating all of their clothing you're bound to walk away with something brand name and basically new for between $2-$7.

I was stunned the first time we ordered from here when I saw the amount of food that came with the order. The dinner for 2 (I always substitute the Chow Mein for Lo Mein) is enough to feed 2 people for 2 days. Totally serious. I love the egg rolls…More »

Being born and raised on the coast of New Brunswick Martinique on first visit seemed to be sort of a let down. I'm used to warm waters and virtually nobody else there.

On my second visit I quickly got over the fact that the water wasn't as warm as…More »

Buy the Book is a nice little second hand book store neatly tucked away off the Bedford Highway. There's a great selection of Literature, History book and Biographies. I hate buying books off a big chain like Chapters and Buy the Book has never…More »
