If you're looking for a really cute spot to go for lunch in Inglewood, hit up Jacqueline Suzanne's and remember to keep your pinky up.

4.0 star rating
  11/22/2010

I love going to the zoo. It helps that the Calgary Zoo is so much better than the Storyland Valley Zoo in Edmonton.

Calgary's got an extensive list of animals that they care for. Lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), and pandas, elephants, monkeys,…More »

  12/13/2010

I was hit by the smell of incense when I walked through the door. As I ventured a bit further inside, the sound of trickling water made it's way to my ears. This store's got good energy.

It's filled with statues, fountains, artwork, notecards,…More »

I walked into Manana on just the right day. The owner had returned with hundreds of silver rings from Thailand. And most of them are one-of-a-kind, at least in his shop.

With artifacts, gidgets, gadgets, and other pleasantries from all across the…More »

Boxwood gets its four stars from the fact that they source their ingredients locally, they've got an amazing location on the edge of Memorial Park, their staff is friendly and welcoming and they filter their own water.

I stopped in for lunch on a very…More »

(403) 804-4311
4.0 star rating
  3/1/2011 First to Review

Tea sniffing is the latest craze (at least, it's my latest craze). It involves finding your best local tea shops, gazing in awe at the rows upon rows of teas and mixes in front of you, and then grabbing a jar, opening the lid and taking a big, deep,…More »

 7. Suzie Q Beads

9 Ave SE
Calgary, AB T2G 0T4
(403) 266-1202
4.0 star rating
  6/7/2011

Have you ever discovered that the more you learn, the less you know? I experience that every time I explore a new store or pursue a new hobby. I have a couple of friends who make jewelry. Shopping at their Christmas parties is one of my favourite…More »

Calgary, AB T2N 3T8
(403) 270-7810
4.0 star rating
  10/3/2011

The Lazy Loaf & Kettle reminds me of a small town bakery and cafe, but with a big city price tag. It's located in this crescent I've never stopped in before, one with a quilting store and a ladies' clothing store. It was no surprise that most of the…More »
