Big Day Downtown Halifax: Part 2
So, what did I decide to do with $100 on my Big Day Downtown? If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you probably guessed right. I blew it all on one of my fave addictions: food and beverage. First, big ups to the Downtown Halifax Business Commission for inviting me to “Go To Town.” [...]
CATCH: The Nova Scotia Seafood Festival
Fun foodie times ahead this weekend in Halifax! Just a quick note to put this event on your radar. CATCH is all about local seafood and the hottest culinary trends. It takes place this weekend (June 19 & 20) at the Cunard Centre. Cokebaby and I will be heading over with the in-laws to check [...]
Boneheads vs. Q Smokehouse and Southern Barbecue
For years Cokebaby and his male friends have been lamenting the lack of a place to get southern BBQ. Recently, within months of each other, two new restaurants that fit the bill opened up in the city. For the most part, I don’t post negative reviews here. If I don’t like a restaurant, you simply won’t [...]
Brooklyn Warehouse
Gather ’round, my readers, for a tale of my new favourite restaurant in the city of Halifax. Brooklyn Warehouse (@BrooklynHalifax) is one of those tucked away gems that you might not come across unless you’re attending an event at the Forum or live in the area. I had heard so many great things about the [...]
Sociable in Toronto
I’ve been living out of a hotel in Toronto for the better part of a week now on a business trip. Among the things I miss are home-cooked meals, my own bed, sleep, Cokebaby and Tofu dog. That said, this trip has allowed me to work with my colleagues face-to-face (which is under-valued). Seriously, go [...]
Love letter to Barrington Street
Earlier this week, my guest addressed the renewed concern about the decline in business on Barrington Street here in Halifax. When Cokebaby and I moved here over ten years ago, the street was facing similar hard times but was able to turn it around with some interesting shops. My feeling is that with the new [...]
2009: A year in review
We’re a few days into 2010 already but I thought I’d post about some of the highlights of 2009 in my online world. It was a pretty busy year. Cokebaby and I travelled to the South of France for our 10 year wedding anniversary (today marks year 11)! We took a trip with his family in [...]
Tassimo
I’m not the kind of person who usually “wins” anything, particularly out of the blue. I don’t buy lottery tickets or go in on the 50/50 draws at work. So, I don’t really expect random earnings either. Well, about a month ago I received an e-mail saying I’d been selected to receive a free TASSIMO [...]
Neptune Theatre 2009-2010
Every year Cokebaby and I try to get out to see at least one play at the Neptune Theatre. We’re not really ones for musicals so we tend to skip the performances of shows like High School Musical. For the most part we’ve been catching shows at the smaller Studio Theatre. Due to the e-newsletter [...]
Rock Bottom Brewery
I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur of beers, but when I do have a pint I prefer something fuller than a Bud Lime. Cokebaby dabbles in home brewing and wine making so he has a better appreciation for the art behind micro brews. When we recently checked out one of Halifax’s newest dining spots, Rock [...]
