Wok Box is one of those places that you always hear your friends talking about and you always say that you are going to try....someday.

Well tpday was that day.  Actually, we tried to go to Una Pizza for lunch, which is just down the street, but they…More »

Dear Spicy Hut,

I owe you a big giant apology.  I don't know why, but I always forget about the existence of Thai food.  I think I sometimes confuse it for Vietnamese, but after eating at your restaurant this week, I've come to the conclusion that I…More »

Happy Hill is one of those places that you would never notice on your own.  You have to be told about it, usually by a native Calgarian (if you can find one.)  

But once you know where it is and discover how great the food tastes, then you'll never…More »

I'm going to preface this review with a little context:  Chianti's was my very first job when I moved to Calgary five years ago!

I loved the food when I worked there and I love it even more now that I don't have to work for it.  Sure I miss the…More »

Great service!  Bland sushi. So if you are going for service only, then this is the place.  Not that the sushi was bad, it just wasn't that exciting.

We went at lunch and they have some really great lunch specials.  We got there about an hour before…More »

Recently updated lists from Mike M.

Exploring Stephen Avenue (4)

Stephen Avenue is one of the hottest places in Calgary, especially during the summer when it is packed with trendy Calgarians looking for a great place to have a drink and get some shopping done.  Whenever I'm down there, I try to explore the entire street.  Here are a few that come to mind.

Drunkity Drunk Drunk (7)

Maybe you had a bad week or maybe you want to go celebrate a new job.  Perhaps you are on the worst date and just want to drink your troubles away.  Either way, these are some of my favourite bars!

This is how to travel! (9)

Everything you need to know about planning a great trip.

Funny Guy! (5)

So I just discovered that you can sort your reviews by either Funny, Useful or Cool!  I had no idea!

Apparently you guys think that sometimes I'm funny. Awww that's so sweet.  According to your UFCs, here are my funniest.

Dowtown or bust! (6)

Sometimes it's hard to find things to in downtown Calgary at night. The core seems to clear out faster than you can say Stephen Avenue.  But there are actually lots of things to do downtown, you may just have to look harder for them!

Who doesn't love to be comfortable? (4)

But what is comfortable?  It really depends on my mood and what I'm looking to do.  However, typically it involves one of these places that relax me in many different ways!

The parents are coming, the parents are coming! (10)

Who doesn't love when your parents come to town, right?  Hello?  Anyone?  Well I do!  Here are some of the places I like to take my mom and dad any time they come to visit!

It's the theatre! (4)

Here are some of my favourite (and least favourite) theatres in Calgary for acting or otherwise!

Canadian Airports! (3)

Not that we have much choice of airports but it is always good to know who has free wifi and who doesn't!

Japan: Who needs a passport! (3)

I've never been to Japan but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the food!  Mmmmm sushi!
