Ali Baba Kebab
A few months ago I noticed a new restaurant setting up shop on Princess Street, just up from Clergy. I thought I was dreaming, a new Middle Eastern restaurant downtown! My favourite! I was so excited to see Ali Baba Kebab and knew that I had to try it. Harvey and I, along with a [...]

Last Thursday and Friday, the Royal Military College of Canada held their annual Graduation activities, which included Convocation, the Sunset Ceremony as well as the Grad Parade. Even if you weren’t on campus, the show was hard to miss as it included demonstrations by the Snow Birds, SkyHawks as well as one of the greatest [...]

Locals on Etsy
When I’m out window shopping or taking in the market, I tend to linger a bit longer at stores and booths that are selling local goods. Whether we’re talking produce, pottery or some other fantastical find, it’s great to uncover treasures created by fellow Kingstonians. Even if you’re not buying! As more products are seemingly [...]

Grecos
So I am moving to Calgary! I found a job there so I will be leaving at the end of the month. I am excited about the move back but I have really enjoyed my culinary adventures in Kingston over the last 2.5 years. One of the greatest things that has happened to my blog [...]

Cambodian Village
After a few less than delicious experiences, over the past few months I’ve been steering clear of Cambodian and Thai restos. Last week however, I reluctantly sat down at Cambodian Village (347 King Street East) after a friend recommended it.

Everywhere you turn in the Limestone City advertisements are attempting to influence us with semi-informative bits of information pulled from the yellow pages. While [...]

Windmills Cafe
Windmills Cafe is situated just down from the bustling corner of Princess and Montreal, which is prime real estate for attracting downtown event goers, beleaguered shoppers, hungry tourists as well as locals in the know. They have very decent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, as well as a great wine list, which is likely why [...]

Postering Etiquette
I must admit that I have a love-hate relationship with event posters. Aside from the fact that I often learn about fantastic upcoming events via publicly posted notices, I’ve started to amass a modest collection of my favourite local concert and festival prints. And I think it’s safe to say that I’m not the only [...]

Remove Icicles, Ice & Snow Dangerous To Pedestrians
The City reminds owners and occupants of every building in Kingston that they must remove the snow and ice, including icicles, from the roof of that building whenever it poses an immediate danger to pedestrians. The owners or occupants of every commercial property in the downtown Business Improvement Area which fronts on to a public [...]

Weekly Poll: Kingston’s Signature Dish
Philadelphia is known for its cheesesteak. Belgium is the birthplace of waffles. And Quebec lays claim to first combining french fries, cheese curds and gravy. While not every city in the world can claim responsibility for creating popular menu items, they each have unique and interesting restaurants, public markets, bakeries, breweries and other manufacturers of [...]
