The Bistro – New Glasgow

The Bistro New Glasgow
After our wildly popular and much debated post on Pictou County pizza, we have decided to return to PC to check out some of the other dining options.  If a slice isn't what you're in the mood for and it's a special occasion or you're just looking to treat yourself, you really can't do any… Read More

Wasabi House – Halifax, NS

Wasabi House Halifax
In the past few years, HRM’s sushi options have blossomed from a handful of small shops to a smorgusboard of sushi chains, boutique stores, and all you can eat options. One of the newest kids on the Halifax sushi block, and the closest sushi option to our block, is Wasabi House (@wasabihouse). Wasabi House opened… Read More

#21 Bus Route – Lakeside

Governors Lake Nova Scotia
For our third post on day-trips and vacation spots in HRM accessible by bus (and bike!), we'll take you for a ride on the #21.  We were originally thinking of doing a post combining routes #21, #22 and #23 to cover all the lakes you can get to along St. Margaret’s Bay Road.  Then we… Read More

Pictou County Pizza

Pictou County Pizza Canada Shipping
I am fully aware of the fact that people everywhere, and I mean around the world everywhere, make bold claims that the pizza from their hometown is the best pizza you could possibly find.  This is not something that's unique to people from Pictou County.  What IS unique to people from Pictou County, is that… Read More

Bus Route #60 – Eastern Passage

Welcome to our second installment of day-trips and vacation spots in HRM accessible by bus (and bike!). Today we'll chronicle the #60 Bus Route to Eastern Passage. Note for cyclists: We’ve added distances from the Bridge Terminal in brackets next to each location. The trip is pretty flat for the most part, with sparse bike… Read More

Bus Route #15 – Purcell’s Cove

The Dingle Bus Route 15
Riding the Metro Transit one day, we noticed an HRM ad that pictured three walking trails that could be reached by bus.  We thought this was a brilliant idea (props to @hfxtransit) and have been inspired to take it one step further with a series of posts on all the cool HRM sites that can… Read More

Song for Grown You

One of the things we love the most about Nova Scotia is it's vibrant music scene.  There is nothing quite like visiting a pub on a Friday for a local beer and some great live music. Steven Bowers (@Steven_Bowers) is one of our favourite local artists, but his new video, "Song For Grown You", has… Read More

The Holman Grand – Charlottetown, PE

Holman Grand Hotel
Back in January, work found us staying at The Holman Grand in Charlottetown, PEI. While I have frequently used the Holman as an event space, this was our first opportunity to stay on-site. The Holman makes an impression from the moment you pull in. We arrived after dark to find the building illuminated in multi-coloured… Read More

Amedeo’s Italian Bistro – Sydney, NS

Amedeos Bistro Sydney Cape Breton Nova Scotia
On a recent weekend trip to Baddeck, we met up with a friend in Sydney to hand-deliver a wedding invitation. On her suggestion, we found ourselves at Amedeo's, a small Italian restaurant in the middle of downtown Sydney.  Upon entering Amedeo's, we were greeted by the savory smell of authentic Italian food; fresh bread, olive… Read More

Open City – Day 2 Wrap Up

Woke up pretty early this morning to get another jump-start on Open City. Headed straight to the waterfront to find out about Murphy's half price whale watching tour. We were pretty conflicted after finding out that the only tour today was at 1:30 pm, the same time as the Christina Martin show. We were especially… Read More
