I'm a fan of argyle sweaters, socks and, of course, the street.

 1. The Carleton

Where to begin with The Carleton? Music? Food? Atmosphere? This place is a serious triple threat.

But let's talk about food.

You haven't lived until you've eaten the white wine risotto. I recommend ordering the stuffed chicken breast, which is…More »

Opa! is one of those Halifax restaurants that I'll never tire of. Some of my favorite menu items include the stuffed mushrooms (seriously, I'd fight someone for one of those), the stuffed tomato & pepper and the stuffed chicken. Their desserts are…More »

The Foggy Goggle just plain makes me happy. I've been three times, for very different experiences, and each visit was fantastic.

I first went for a fundraising event. It was crowded, but the service was still fantastic. The space is well suited for…More »

Biscuit is one of the most popular stores in Halifax, and rightly so. They have cool, different stock and it's on of my favorite places to shop.

I find it a little hit and miss. Sometimes I go and want to buy the whole store, other times I visit and…More »

I recently stopped into Bistro Le Coq for drinks and a bite to eat before a show at Neptune - it's position on Argyle Street makes it a prime location for such a thing.

I ordered the small cheese plate (which was quite a lot for one person) and it…More »

Like most everyone else, I feel lukewarm about the Shoe Shop. The atmosphere is great and everything else is hit or miss. I've had terrible service, I've had fantastic service. I've had great, reasonably priced drinks and I've fallen victim to…More »

I've only ever been to Pipa for drinks and apps, but damn do they do those well.

OK, the special Brazilian drink they made? Amazing. It's called a Caipirinha and is basically rum and sugar. It is heaven. Go on 2 for 1 night.

My favorite app is the…More »

I have mixed feelings about the Bitter End. It used to be one of my favorite places to go, back when I was 19 and a half years old and just realizing that I WAY prefer this kind of atmosphere to that of a place like, say, The Dome. (Shudder.) And I…More »

I think the Argyle is a little underrated.

Yeah, the downstairs nightclub is weird. But the upstairs patio is fun! And yeah, some items on the menu are a little overpriced. But have you tried their desserts? Sometimes I like to hit the Argyle late at…More »

I usually hate March - it's a long and dreary month that rarely brings excitement to my life. But with the alfreSnow festival, it was actually a really good time!

I hit up all four Hitchcock movies and really enjoyed them all. It was such a great…More »

There are things I love about Durty Nelly's, and things I hate. Let's start with the love:

- A pretty decent menu. I tried the chicken wings recently and they were delicious!
- A lovely outdoor patio.
- Strongbow cider on tap!

So I like Durty Nelly's…More »
