Calling all Edmontonians, ex-Edmontonians, and current and ex-Stalbertans! A friend of mine from Saskatoon just got a job at the U of A and wants to know the ins and outs of the Gateway to the North. I recommended:
- Da-De-O on Whyte for their fabulous oyster po’boys
- Phobulous (the new Vietnamese place that took over the Kyoto slot across the street from the Garneau theater) for cheap, delicious eats in a fun atmosphere
- Kyoto itself, of course
- The Garneau and Princess theaters for indie films
- The Muttart Conservatory in any other season than high summer, because OMG, can has heatstroke?
- The Urban Diner and the Glenora Grill, depending on how fancy you want to get, for tasty tasty brunch
- Nokomis, Avenue Clothing, and the Plaid Giraffe on Whyte for unique wearables
- The Mall – suggested day including mini-golf, a sea-lion show, and a Galaxyland session (or skating)
So, other ideas? We’re especially looking for other ideas from former campus-dwellers, and for people who live in other neighbourhoods, what’s cool about your area or what neat things would you recommend? Day-trips? Cheesy tourist attractions?
