R&R Wellness, located just on the edge of the downtown core, right along the river pathway system is the ultimate in relaxation. As you step through the door, an attendant greets you with a pair of sandels, removes your jacket and the experience begins. If you arrive early enough, the steam room is your next stop, where you have the chance to let some of the stress of life float ...

I had the chance to attend a pre-screening of a movie a few weeks back at The Globe Theater on Stephen (8th) Avenue. It is a charming place, with a distinct artsy feel to it. Many of the movies that are shown here are not 'mainstream' flicks. Often times the shows that win in the less popular, but equally brilliant, Academy Award categories are found playing here. For an updated ...

For more information, please chek out thier website. The new layout and decor looks fantastic, however, the lively and fresh atmosphere has stayed unchanged.
If you happen to wander in Sunday through Wednesday evening, ask ...

As one of the many people employed in the downtown core, I try to venture out for lunch every now and again. Recently I went out to Chutney for their lunch buffet with a friend. Wow, it was amazing! The food was fantastic, and refreshed every 15 minutes or so. Needless to say, the place was completely full! Check out their website for address and phone number information: This is ...

An alternative to the deep-fried greasiness of KFC lies in the roasted peri-peri goodness of Nando’s Chicken. The healthier side options of rice and baked potato compared to the French fries and gravy of KFC allowed for a decrease in the chance of pyrosis (a fancy word for heartburn) and ulcers. Nando’s, which is on 3333 32 Avenue NE, is usually filled with families and provides a warm environment ...

The Play was pretty good, there were too many songs, or they maybe shouldn't sing the WHOLE song every time. The storyline is good, and you will pick-up on more if you were a Seinfeld fan. Some of the out staff are less then enjoyable, the drinks are over priced and the ...

On a fateful Sunday night, I journeyed with some friends to Buchanan’s located on 738-3 Avenue SW. Buoyed by John Gilchrist’s review of the chophouse and hoping for a classier environment than our last Gilchrist adventure to Palomino, we walked in with optimism. For a restaurant that’s situated so close to the ...

Located on trendy 4th street in the Mission area, the restaurant formerly known as the Latin Corner has become Coriander, a Latin-Indian fusion joint. Its amazing! For those of you who have never tried Indian food, or who have this preconceived notion that Indian=curry, Coriander is a must try place. From Spanish Paella night on Thursdays, to all you can eat chicken dishes on Wednesdays, and Latin dancing on Saturdays, ...
