I was only here for 3 days, but I sure did see a lot!

 1. The Pourhouse Bier Bistro

The Pourhouse is not what I expected to find along a street like Whyte. But I don't know much about Whyte other than what I hear in local lore and what I see on the surface, so what the hell do I know?

Anyway, while in Edmonton for a couple of days I…More »

This is where the party is at. Even on a Monday night. At 1145pm. Where the special is pints for $3.75 and shots at a matching price. For  of a dime-note you can get yourself a shot of Jameson and a brew. And everyone between the ages of 18 and…More »

Oh hello there, Kashmiri Chai! How are you? Where did that delicious full-bodied flavor come from? And your green coloring? Hmmm,what sort of magical deliciousness is this that I had not previously experienced? Did you just make this up, Remedy, or…More »

Far from the city center, with no public transit to speak of, this airport is out standing in its field. Literally. But definitely not outstanding in its field. Why?

No free wifi.

Oh, the signs say "free wifi" but I shouldn't have to be the one to…More »

Why is it that we love the things we can't have? I guess it's that "grass-is-greener" mentality - the things that are taboo to us seem the sexiest. But in this case, I don't think it's unhealthy, and I believe I'm right to covet that which I am…More »

Canada

It's a Chili's. Have you ever been to a Chili's? If you haven't, well, I don't know what to say. It's corporate tex-mex food... especially the airport locations. But show me an airport that doesn't have something even halfway decent food-wise and…More »

The Mettera is Strathcona's upscale boutique hotel. Well, at least one of them. It actually has a sister property a few blocks down the street. Nestled right on Whyte, amidst the chaos of bars, clubs, pubs, boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops,…More »

Steady WiFi, a huge selection of interesting loose-leaf teas available in multiple sizes, matcha lattes, quirky, comfortable seating areas and a chill environment. What more could you need in a teahouse?!

Recently on a trip to Edmonton I needed a…More »
