I didn't realize the breadth of stores housed here at Southgate. It really has become a one-stop shopping centre with the addition of a ton of great stores (hello, Michael Kors!) and a recent renovation to add a more modern look the whole building.…More »
Possibly my favourite coffee shop in the city. Big selection of baked goods - scones, muffins, cookies - that aren't necessarily good for you, but good to eat! Take your coffee and treat to the table of your choice, too. It's usually busy, but it's…More »
Very cool coffee art - an artistic leaf design to top my London Fog. The perfect amount of strong tea and sweetness in my cup, too.
I like the vibe in here. It's perfect for business meetings, and freelancers with laptops surround you. The only…More »
I can't say enough good things about the Art Gallery of Alberta. I took the tour on the architecture of the building, and all I could say was, "Wow!" Learned a ton about the unique design and the sustainable elements of the new building.
The exhibits…More »
Go team go! Need a place to watch the game? Grab a beer after the game?
Brewsters is a pretty typical sportsy restaurant with lots of options like wings and nachos on the menu and giant TV screens all around. The nachos were yummy and I tried one of…More »
Oh, the Shaw. The site of every single high school grad in the greater Edmonton area.
This is a huge building (that looks tiny) built into the side of a hill on the north side of the river. I think that's pretty cool. You can take a very long…More »
So I still hold high opinion of OTR as a place for watching the game or enjoying a pint with a friend or several. Spending some time with some of my favourite yelpers tonight, that pint of Grasshopper went down smooth - even better, it was on…More »
On the Rocks is a pretty cool downtown joint for those looking for an unpretentious place to grab a… Read more »
I've decided that excellent food is something worth spending my hard-earned money on, and Sunterra has everything that I'm looking for, even though it's not always cheap.
Although this little grocery isn't as large as the nearest Safeway or Save-On,…More »
Not too bad for an evening out with an old friend, but nothing spectacular, either.
I was catching up with a gal pal just back from four months in India. The location was perfect (right downtown) and the atmosphere was plenty quiet, so we were able to…More »
What's not to like about Winston Churchill Square? This fantastic Edmonton landmark is home to about a bazillion events every year, including casual lunchtime activities like zumba and kite-flying, and bigger festivals like Taste of Edmonton (YUM).

Can you believe this was my first time at Foote Field? It wasn't even for a U of A game, either!
My second FC game, and my first time at Foote. TIckets were cheaper here than at Commonwealth, and it's because the venue isn't as nice. But it gets the…More »
Pub 1905 is what it is. An ultra-casual (and I'm not using that term loosely, like more dive bar than anything) place for drinks after work downtown with your buddies, maybe play a round or two on the pool table.
The food was better than I expected…More »
Thank you, Sankyu, for having such a convenient location, right smack dab in the middle of downtown. LRT station right outside? Check. Bus route? Check. Walkable to bars for post-sushi drinks? Triple check!
But really, it is the only excellent thing…More »
I have so many fond memories of Cram Dunk. Actually, the circumstances of said memories are usually not so fond. Staying overnight in SUB to write a paper or study for finals...that was when I needed Cram Dunk the most.
The donuts and pastries are…More »
Tres Carnales just keeps getting better and better. Just when I thought I had found true love with a torta, these three great friends add new dishes to their menu! The service is still outstanding and now the food is even tastier. Viva!
I love Mexican cuisine, but that doesn't mean I'm very good at reading a menu at a Mexican… Read more »
I think I was about 12 years old the last time I got a manicure, but my fabulous bridesmaids decided that manicures would be the first stop on a whirlwind weekend of stagette and bridal shower madness.
Studio J, located right on Jasper Avenue, is in a…More »
So I made my most recent visit to Halo Lounge a couple of Saturdays ago. The trip to Halo was preceded by a Passion Party and pre-drinking at one of my best friend's apartments (it was her birthday). After losing count of sour appletinis and losing…More »
In a word, disappointed. I attended a Christmas party at the Sutton Place last night; we were in the Vintage Room.
Definite pros: the room was quite nice, the acoustics were good, I liked the lighting, and....y'know, I just can't think of a fourth.

I knew I would be heading down to Century Park today but I was starving when I arrived. I thought to myself, why don't I try out that Spring Roll Kitchen place I always see but never pop into?
I thought it might be all gourmet spring rolls or…More »
What a super cute tea shop! I was wandering City Centre this afternoon (birthday shopping, hello) and I felt very tired of the usual chain shops. There wasn't a single store I felt interested in stopping into - that is, until I found Tea Desire.
Yep,…More »
Despite favouring Indian food over almost any other cuisine, you might notice that I'm severely lacking in Indian restaurant reviews. In spite of my Indian fondness for butter chicken, saffron rice, every kind of curry EVER and of course, naan bread.…More »
I had walked past Big City many a time, curious about this new cupcake joint in time. So many, in fact, that it's not so new anymore. But after a healthy of lunch of only salad, I was going crazy for a calorie indulgence. Walking through City Centre…More »

I had plans to meet an old university friend off-campus the other day, but what with the weather being what it was (brrrrr!), she wasn't too keen on walking somewhere off campus (she works for the U of A). I concurred and we decided on Dewey's. Food,…More »
So this one day, when I definitely wasn't Googling myself, I discovered my namesake lounge, Brittany's, existed right here in Edmonton. I was intrigued and inspired. My partner in almost-same-name crime, Brittney L, agreed to meet me for a lunch date…More »
As far as fast food-y type restaurants go, Wok Box reigns supreme in terms of taste, flavour and health factors. I love "Asian Fusion" and although it's all pretty westernized here, it's still delicious. Both meat and vegetarian options, with…More »
Two Lazia reviews, two days in a row! Why not?
Although I'm a bigger fan of the north side location (perhaps because it was the first of the two Lazias I dined at), this place is still a very fine choice for a night dinner date out downtown or drinks…More »
I was so nervous about the opening of a new Remedy. My beloved Remedy. Quirky, tasty Remedy, location of my first date with my husband and many, many cake dates with friends over the years, where you always leave smelling like butter chicken (mmm,…More »
Lord's Shoes could be my favourite shoe store in Edmonton. I love finding a fabulous and funky non-chain boutique smack dab in the middle of a mall, and Lord's is just that!
A lot of heels, most of which are right on-trend, but if you're looking for…More »
If you told me that I could only shop at one chain store for the rest of my life, I would probably pick Zara. Well, maybe Anthropologie if it weren't so dang pricey! So Zara is my happy medium between fashionable and affordable.
You'll see some…More »
Reviewing the U of A Hospital is like reviewing the dentist. I obviously didn't like going here, but the staff tried their best to make my experience as good as it could be, so it's kind of hard to figure out how many stars to hand out for this one.

I know what I'm getting into when I walk into Claire's, but it's all about having an open mind here. Half of the store is intended to appeal to tweens. Bright pink and black, Hello Kitty, and plenty of glitter. Just steer yourself past those…More »
Do you know what I need in life to be happy? Books and kitties. Wee Book Inn has both, so....how could I even dare handing out less than five stars?
All kinds of fabulous books, from scifi to romance to cookbooks and more. You won't find 20 of the…More »
