1. Handy Bakery
Handy Bakery is among those few places that stand out in Alberta Avenue from the exterior, while driving on 118th Ave, to the quality of the baked goods inside. Much like other businesses in this neighborhood, the bakery sticks to its roots, which…More »
2. The Three Amigos
Three Amigos (not to be confused with Tres Carnales) is a small Mexican restaurant that has delicious, delicious food. I came here with some fellow yelpers one evening and we all enjoyed our meal. I went with the tamales here and thought they were…More »
3. The Pint Public House
Although, the Pint is one of those generic chain of bars that serve up decent food, beer and hard liquor, I like that this location is close to Whyte, yet off-Whyte. Off-Whyte should be the new "in" for people on the south side. Let's call them…More »
4. Find: Furnishing Hope
It's always useful to be aware of places like Find when you're planning to move. I recently moved apartments and in doing so had a lot of decent furniture that I had to somehow sell or get rid of. Find was the perfect home for them. It's a…More »
5. Costco Wholesale
Costco is a lovely store if you're someone looking to buy in bulk. Even though I'm single, I've often found great deals at Costco for things I am certain to use. For instance, I love Kashi's cereal and know that it is something I will use up with…More »
6. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Southside
I am generally a strong believer in the concept of U-Haul! I recently moved and found the friendly U-haul store on 51st avenue perfect for my moving needs. A week before I actually moved, I came here and picked up several boxes and other moving…More »
7. Buddy Wonton Seafood Restaurant
Buddy's is an old school family-style Chinese restaurant. Yummy food, possibly authentic - maybe not, but delicious, nonetheless. They have a huge variety of options and are very affordable with massive serving sizes.
Three of us went here the…More »
8. Paraiso Tropical - Latin Food Market
Ethnic grocery stores are great! They have such awesome, yet quirky things that they sell. Paraiso is one such Latin American grocery store in the Alberta Avenue neighborhood. From outside, it has the uninviting exterior of a cage with vertical…More »
9. Tokyo Noodle Shop
I find Tokyo Noodle to be sort of average. Their sushi is okay, almost like sushi that you'd pick up in a take out place or from Superstore or something.
They have a small but decent list of Noodle options but as noted by others, it's nothing out…More »
10. Edmonton Folk Music Festival
Edmonton, AB T5K 2T3
(780) 429-1899
Categories:
Music Venues,
Performing Arts,
Local Flavour
When I was planning on moving here, I wondered what Edmonton would be like. Then someone told me that E-town's got a really awesome folk festival. Of course, a Kevin Smith fan mentioned how awesome a tradition the Oilers had. Then there was this…More »
11. Soap Time Laundromat
Edmonton, AB T6E 6B8
(780) 439-3599
I've always had a thing for laundromats. It's a city thing, I think. Reading a book, listening to music and watching the cars drive by on 104th street. Soap Time is my neighborhood laundromat. I recently moved to a new apartment building which has…More »
12. Save On Foods
This is my neighborhood grocery store and I come here quite often to get stuff to supplement my weekly basket. The veggies, as far as I've noticed, have been pretty good. They've got a very good collection of everything and their deli selection,…More »
13. Denny's Restaurant
As a graduate student in the US, I'd often depend on Denny's to serve me food at 4 in the morning after a hectic semi-all-nighter. Luckily for me, I haven't needed to do that for a while. Denny's is an okay place that has an okay menu but the best…More »
14. Cafe Mosaics
I'd love to have given Cafe Mosaics more than a 3 star review. It's a decent place that's a little dated in their idea of being modern. It's okay if they were old school, but they're not. The menu is filled with vegan friendly and vegetarian…More »
15. Elite Event at Wunderbar
This month's Elite event was just perfect. The hot August sun warming us up at the Wünderbar while we chilled our bodies down with cold, cold beer and had a relaxed evening conversing with fellow yelpers. The music was good, the crowd was good and…More »
16. Corso 32
Delicious food is the least one could say for this family inspired menu by chef Daniel Costa who's hometown near Napoli in Italy is the inspiration behind the name Corso 32. The food exhibits a devoted attempt at being authentic, with the nuance of…More »
17. Money Mart
Edmonton, AB T6E 1Z3
(780) 433-8073
This is my neighborhood Western Union. For people who don't know already, Money Marts do Western Union transfers. I use this service every now and then to send and receive money.
This particular Money Mart is okay. I'd have preferred if things…More »
18. V Sandwiches
V sandwiches is a sanctuary in the sea of ordinary that lives on Whyte. While Banh Mi has now made it to the Oxford Dictionary (as of March '11), one can see that Vietnamese subs have become a popular choice of food around the world.
V's makes a…More »
19. Jasper Sushi and Noodle House
This noodle house was suggested to me by Jacqueline S. as a cheap and low-key dinner option in the Oliver neighborhood. Sure enough, I came here on a weekday evening and thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. It's a fusion-style Asian restaurant with a…More »
20. Notables Stationers
Although Notables is technically a stationery store, it has so much in it that one could keep visiting this place for a long time. My work requires a lot of the use of pencils, pens and paper; Notables has the best collection of stationery in…More »
21. SUB - Student Union Building at University of Alberta
The Student Union houses a lot of things apart from just a food court and a Flight Centre. Let's start with the basement. Here we have the SUB Print Centre which is terrific when it comes to getting things printed, scanned, photocopied and at a…More »
22. Greek To Go
I've been here, I've done that .... and now, I think I'm done with that. To be honest, Greek to go has a couple of decent options and the chicken skewers that I had made me crave them the next day! The salad given with the chicken skewers is filled…More »
23. The Traveling Tickle Trunk
A class act, is what it is. Nobody's giving you strange stares when you pick up a female sex toy and wonder why it's really shaped like a dagger. A comfortable setting for anybody to enter and not be ashamed to buy S&M stuff that they might want to…More »
24. Wunderbar Hofbrauhaus
Don't get me wrong here, I do love coming to the Wünderbar. It's a terrific little joint that has a great selection of bottled beers and a decent selection of beers on tap. I just find this space a little too small for my liking. They have live…More »
25. Badass Jack's Subs & Wraps Company
BAJ is a different kind of sandwich shop. They serve a variety of ethnically (not ethically) oriented sandwiches like butter chicken or szechuan chicken sub among other more tradition subs. I've been here a few times and have had mixed feelings…More »
26. Future Shop
I've been to this Future shop more than a couple of times. It's very centrally located and that's probably the best part about this store. I've had a few sub-par experiences here but nothing terrible or inexcusable.
Their stock is questionable.…More »
27. Red Pony Consignment
Red Pony Con. is a cute little clothing boutique that carries brand items through a various range of prices, from Old Navy's shirts to Gucci caps! True to a consignment company, they have a good price for most things they carry. If you can get a…More »
28. Drift Mobile Eatery
I've been conflicted between a 4 and 5 star rating for Drift. I really do love their sandwiches here and so, I'm certainly a fan! I could easily see myself addicted to Drift if I worked or lived near their stop and could visit them every now and…More »
29. The Empress Ale House
Empress is a large and impressive pub. Although tucked right at the end of Whyte Ave (as we know it), it's a great sanctuary for people who want to have a drink and relax to some not-so-loud music. The patio is quite good and is slightly above…More »
30. Alhambra Books
Sometimes I feel that the best things in the Strathcona and Garneau neighborhoods are off-Whyte. Alhambra reinstates that belief with a remarkably well maintained and fully loaded used bookshop. Of course, every bookshop has a lot of books and…More »
31. Edmonton Eco Station
Got some crap and don't know where to throw it? Drive down and dump it here! I love this place in theory, but I find it expensive and a bit slow. I was doing the "good citizen" thing by throwing away an old mattress that was there in the room I…More »
