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 »

3.0 star rating
  7/17/2010

If you talk to any Calgarian about Eau Claire market, they'll always tell you how disappointing it has been to see this mall suffer from high prices of rent during the boom.  Since things became so expensive, many businesses have had to leave,…More »

Everything that is great about Kensington can be summed up with The Plaza Theatre.  Quaint, cheap, personal, with a great selection of movies.  

Anytime I go to the movies, I always look at what is playing at The Plaza first.  Although sometimes I…More »

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!
