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 [...]

Phnom-Pehn
Regular readers know that I have an affinity for Italian pies, so when it comes to writing reviews of restaurants in the Limestone City, Kingstonist may be somewhat biased towards establishments that serve glorious wheels of pizza. That said, I also have a penchant for all things spicy. Be it Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican or Italian, [...]

Hunting for KBC’s Whitetail
Back in 2007 I was dining at the Kingston Brewing Company (KBC), when I learned that their popular Whitetail Cream Ale would soon be available in local Beer Stores, LCBO’s and select dining establishments. Fast forward to 2009 and the Brew Pub’s promise of Whitetail seemed like a pipe dream that might never come true. [...]

Jiffy Grill
Sunday brunch with the ‘rents is a time honored tradition that has existed ever since my first year of undergrad, but in recent year’s it has fallen by the wayside due to competing schedules. Now we’re lucky if we get to engage in Sunday brunch with my folks once a month. How I miss the [...]

Woodenheads
Regular readers may remember that I have a bit of a problem. I’m hooked on the pies, pizza pies that is. After a late night snack involving a few slices on Saturday, I couldn’t stave off the mid-morning craving on Sunday, which made my mouth water for a wheel of glorious wood-fired thin crust ‘za, [...]

Atomica
After digging ourselves out over the weekend, I decided that it was high time to venture out for a festive treat featuring my favorite food: pizza. Now, I am somewhat of a pizza aficionado, but that’s not to say that I am a snob about my ‘za, rather I have certain criteria that must be [...]

What if Kingston…
Today’s “What if Kingston” question was sparked by a conversation I had last night with a friend who’s a violinist, professional riverboat gambler, and nomadic traveler…let’s call him Geoff. Geoff is currently taking up refuge in a HoJo on the outskirts of Tampa Bay, as he makes his way down the eastern seaboard, across the [...]

Chez Piggy
It’s been far too long since we embarked on a culinary adventure in the name of Kingstonist. During our previous gastronomical gambados, we’ve tested the tempting plates of Spaghetti is Ready, Olivea, and many others, while we’ve also ventured into establishments that have stood the test of time, including: Morrison’s Restaurant, and Luke’s. Today’s taste [...]

The Iron Duke
Nearly a year ago, I was sauntering by the abandoned Schertzo on Wellington Street, when I noticed a glint of life seeping out from behind the boarded up windows. For the first time since the bar had closed, the lights were on inside, and the sound of sober conversation debunked my initial fear that a [...]

The New Bar Scene
Kingston has a pretty happenin’ bar scene, with the Hub (Alehouse aka AJ’s, Stages, The Brass, The Griz and Elixir) drawing huge crowds night after night, while other downtown establishments (The Iron Duke , Brew Pub, Tir Na Nog, Merchant , and Joy) chorale the rest of Kingston’s age of majority card holders. Categorically, the [...]
