Another PS for Studio In Essence:

After my very first pole dancing class, I feel it may be worthy to provide a little feedback on what my experience entailed!

As previously stated, I'm less of a minx, and more of a mouse, so my nerves were a little on…More »

I experienced Oceanstone for the first time this summer at my cousin's wedding. Picturesque to say the least! Summertime cottages scatter along an upwards winding road, amongst wilderness and deep waters. Its an escape from reality at a mere 20…More »

  Update - 4/10/2010

Fantastic dinner at Jane's the other night.

Lucky for us, it was a quiet Thursday evening and there were no line ups to stifle our appetites. I was out with a few friends from out of town who I hadn't seen in a while, so it was somewhat of a special…More »

Doraku- it'd been a while. Of course, with a visitor in town who happens to be proactive in sushi shananigans, a reunion was imminent. Hop to it!

Yes to this intrinsic setting. Privacy is ensured with secluded booths and a space all your own-- which…More »

Morris East is the best pizza I've had in Halifax by far. Its fresh and inspired with its combinations of toppings & spices. Pizza is cooked on in a wood-fired oven, creating heaven in bread form. Not too soft, not to crisp- its just right!

The rest…More »

Video Difference is a reason to make screen time a priority. For those who crave beyond the latest Hollywood lackluster-- er-- blockbuster, this is the spot to hit.

Three glorious floors of flicks to entertain and educate.…More »

(902) 423-7786
4.0 star rating
  3/20/2010

Gus' is the go-to spot for eclectic carryings of live music. When the weekend rolls around and the kids come out to play, this is a serious contender for kewl music and sweat-stained dance parties. Folks are dancing shoulder to shoulder, but nobody…More »

While my Reflections nights seem to be more of a dulled memory, I look at this place with a smile. Its the night club in Halifax that integrates an insanely vast array of social species under one roof. Ravers, punks, straights, gays, lesbians,…More »
