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 [...]

Sima Sushi

This weekend Harvey and I had guests visiting from out of town. Little did we know, so did many people, including all the hotels and many of the restaurants. The city was flooded with dancers and musicians for the Rob Roy Highland Dancers Fall Competition making it difficult for locals like us to [...]

Sushi Ya

Last month I did a bit of crowd sourcing, and requested your recommendations for happenin’ sushi spots in the Limestone City.  My call to bear chopsticks seemed rather popular, as it received 10 solid responses and nods to local restaurateurs.  With a little help from my friends, and a desire to try something other than [...]

Got Sushi?

Within the past year, the Limestone City has experienced a small surge in the number of new sushi restaurants opening up.  Fresh establishments including:  Sushi Q (409 Johnson), Sima (66 Princess), Sushi Ya (766 Princess), and Arisu (185 Division), have been established to either balance out or tip the supply and demand equation in Kingston.  [...]

Pizza, It’s My Obsession

Musical actor and comedian Charles Pierce once said, “the perfect lover is one who turns into a pizza at 4am.”  At the risk of frightening and possibly offending my wife, I have to agree.  In the name of expanding Kingstonist’s Food and Drink section, in the past we’ve featured posh pizza parlours including Woodenheads as [...]

Megalos

When it comes to tasty joints that I would honestly recommend to both friend and foe, only a handful of local eateries come to mind.  Without question, somewhere high up on my top 10 list lies Megalos, a gorgeously decorated resto with a fishbowl view of all the action taking place downtown.  Megalos is relaxed [...]

Fanatics

I am the last person that anyone would expect to set foot inside a sports bar…especially one that is as hardcore as Fanatics on Princess Street but I had been hearing so many good things about their food, I just had to give it a shot. Harvey and I went on an evening when [...]

Peter’s Place

Last month, we asked our readers to comment and suggest their favorite brunch destinations in the Limestone City.  This past Saturday, we found ourselves completely famished, disoriented and wandering around downtown in search of mid-morning nourishment.  Needless to say, I neglected to bring the list of suggested brunch outlets with me. We eventually ended up [...]

The Brunch-Fest Club

Yet again, it has been far too long since our last culinary adventure in the name of expanding Kingston’s collective palette.  This past Sunday, I woke up and found myself unable to decide where I should go for brunch.  Eventually, I turned to Twitter and received a few solid recommendations from our loyal followers.  Since [...]

Return of the Speak Easy

I just got in from hoarding as much liquor and wine as possible from the LCBO.  To be quite frank, the mood was a mix of pandemonium and despair, which gave the entire store an end of the world type of vibe.  In case you haven’t heard, employees of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario [...]
