Top 10 of 2010: The Rise of the Locavore
As I start to consider my New Year’s resolution for 2011, I think a look back at one of my goals from 2010 is in order. My personal quest to eat and support local food producers is an ongoing quest, while my initial plea for help was well received. We got some great information on [...]

Six Questions for Luke Hayes-Alexander
For a majority of Kingstonist’s readers, Chef Luke Hayes-Alexander does not require much of an introduction. My past dining experiences at Luke’s have been extraordinary treats, as the locally sourced, creative menu is unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere in the Limestone City. Or any other city for that matter. After multiple viewings of Luke’s Kitchen, [...]

Weekly Poll: Best Summer Produce
Community-supported agriculture (CSA) and farmers’ markets such as the one behind City Hall have already begun to offer summertime favourites including rhubarb, strawberries and zucchini just to name a few. Growing up on the outskirts of the Limestone City, I have many fond memories of enjoying delicious ears of freshly picked, in-season corn. I can [...]

The Rise of the Locavore
Like many people, each and every year I make a pledge to better myself, and give back to the local community. This year, I purposely kept my New Year’s resolution to myself. It’s not as though I was ashamed of my master plan for 2010, rather, I feared that if I put it out there, [...]

Gettin’ Fresh in the West End
Regular readers know that things around here usually slow down over the weekend, which is a great chance for us to seek out new stories, recharge the batteries, and engage in ritualistic behaviours. Sleeping in late, Sunday Brunch, trips to the Wilton Cheese Factory, as well as the Farmer’s and Antique Market are all in [...]

Sunday Market
Check out the photos from my adventure to the Public Market yesterday on the Kingstonist’s Flickr. It was a great way to spend the last day of Summer and officially welcome the Fall. Usually the market runs until Thanksgiving, but if the weather permits, you’ll be able to enjoy fresh produce and all things vintage [...]

A Weekend to Remember
So the Olympics have officially started, and in case you aren’t down with watching the Opening Ceremonies, there’s a lot to do this weekend. Although last weekend was rather uneventful, Kingston is playing host to two crowd pleasing events.

All Quiet on the Weekend Front
You have to appreciate the difficulty we sometimes have in preparing the Friday edition of Kingstonist. We sincerely try to provide unique content day after day, rather than aggregate information from news papers and event calendars. To make this happen, we heavily rely on members of the community (that’s you) to send us interesting story [...]

Weekender Bender
Greetings reader! I am pleased to announce the worthwhile events going on around the Limestone City this weekend. How do you think this summer compares to last year? I recently heard the Marketing Manager for Fort Henry on the CBC who stated that attendance is up a slight 7%. That said, I’ve had a few [...]

Not Another (Insert Funny Here) Weekend
It’s been a busy week for me, as I’ve said goodbye to the world of renting, and hello to a new house. I can’t seem to take three steps inside without tripping over an unpacked box, or project that needs my attention. I am very much looking forward to getting out and about this weekend [...]
