There’s so much going on in Kingston during the Summer, that it’s practically impossible to make it out and enjoy it all. We could easily suggest 50 or 100 things to see and do around the city in August, but we continuously strive to develop a short list of absolute

For a small city in between major centers, we sure are lucky to have such a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced restaurants. The food scene in Kingston has thrived and this includes everything from smaller, ethnically diverse cuisine to gourmet restaurants, burgers and breakfast. Most recently, we’ve seen an
