1. Strange Adventures Comicbook Shop
Halifax, NS B3J 1K8
(902) 425-2140
Categories:
Hobby Shops,
Comic Books,
Bookstores
Unlike Adam S, I'm not really a geek. Or at least not in the traditional sense. I don't get most obscure other-worldly references, I can't quote issue numbers when blah blah fought the blah blah and turned into the blah blah, and typically I never…More »
2. Hal-Con Sci-Fi
Without any legitimate claim to nerd or geek status (I always admit that I am, at best, geek-adjacent), I was a little nervous committing to a full weekend at Hal-Con. I pictured hoards of people giving me the side-eye whenever I gawked at their…More »
3. Biscuit General Store
Halifax, NS B3J 2B5
(902) 425-5436
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Biscuit is a store that has reached iconic status in my eyes. Tucked away amidst your favourite bars and restaurants on Argyle Street, I may or may not have gotten my drink on and then convinced myself to spend more money than I should in the past.…More »
4. Carbonstok
Yes! YES! Yes! I love Carbonstok. I'm actually embarrassed to admit how much I love Carbonstok just because that involves also admitting how long it took me to go check it out. Shame on me...
Every shelf and display is covered with weird, quirky, and…More »
5. Paul Stulac: Smoke On the Water
Ever walk into a business and instantly realize that you probably shouldn't be there?
Yeah. That's what happened to me here. Smoke On The Water is a little slice of heaven for the advanced cigar smoker, *not* a place for a shopper who knows nothing…More »
6. Harvest Wines & Spirits
Harvest Wines is so filled with 'YES' that I don't even know where to start. This beacon of booze is tucked away on the Bedford Highway (same building as Clearwater), keeping its audience of regulars to a select few plus those of us willing to drive…More »
7. Liquid Boutique
Now, reviews for Liquid are going to be a little obvious, I think. If you're a drinker of any kind, you're going to love this place. If you could care less about consuming liquids particularly of the alcoholic variety, then you probably won't get…More »
8. Boutique Joliette
Halifax, NS B3J 1W6

Boutique Joliette just made for a very happy Mother's Day surprise for Mama B. Very happy indeed!
At first glance, this charming shop is definitely filled with more beautiful things per square inch than any other place in the city. Digging a little…More »
9. Planet Paws Pet Essentials
Did I just find my new neighbourhood pet shop? After my half-hour long first visit last week, I definitely think so!
Conveniently tucked in between my house and my favourite dog park (Shubie park), this shop was built as a custom extension off a video…More »
10. Cucina Moderna
This is a cute shop filled to the actual brim with uppity kitchen nick-knacs that you probably don't need but definitely will want once you see them in all the bright colour options. I should know -if there were a school for uppity kitchen…More »
