Having immigrated to the States in 1978, James Kelly is making a special trip home this Summer as part of The Gathering 2013 to play at the Steeple Sessions and re-unite with his family, friends, musical acquaintances and with guitarist and friend John Blake. James brings with him his family and friends and will spend some weeks visiting family, touring Ireland, playing and teaching music and catching up with old friends.
James is now based in Florida where he has carved out a career for himself playing and teaching music.
Kelly has toured all over the World and has been a member of several influential Irish groups including the legendary folk group, Planxty.
James Kelly grew up in a family steeped in traditional Irish music in Dublin. His father John was a renowned concertina and fiddle player from Co. Clare and was a founding member, with Seán Ó Riada, of Ceoltóirí Cualann, a traditional group that, in many ways, was responsible for the modern revival in Irish music.
Before immigrating to the US, James was a presenter of the "Pure Drop" series for Irish television, has performed with The Chieftains, and since moving to the US has recorded with the "Bee Gees" on played several times on Garrison Keillor's national radio show, "A Prairie Home Companion." In recent years, he has received the prestigious "Florida Folk Heritage Award" In 2006 James received the "Gradam Ceoil TG4 2006 Irish Musician of the Year Award" He has 18 albums to his credit and is currently compiling his over 1500 compositions for publication. James continues to play concerts and festivals with some of Irish music's leading accompanists.
John Blake is a long term friend of James Kelly and plays guitar, flute, piano and bouzouki and originally learnt his music in London where he grew up from Clare fiddler and instructor Brendan Mulkere. John has appeared on a wealth of albums including: 'The Tap Room Trio' and he was a member of young traditional band Téada. Although a well known guitarist, John is equally adept on the flute, the evidence of which can be heard on the critically acclaimed 'Traditional Irish Music from London' with Lamond Gillespie and Mick Leahy.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) -- The Virginia-based charity Operation Blessing International is teaming up with a community-based group to serve up a Thanksgiving feast for first responders in a waterfront New York community hit especially hard by Superstorm Sandy.
The feast will be served up Wednesday in Breezy Point, N.Y., where roughly 100 homes burned to the ground in a massive wind-swept fire.
The Virginia Beach-based charity will cook up the full Thanksgiving dinner with Friends of Firefighters for the first responders as well as residents of Breezy Point.
Several hundred people are expected to sit down to a traditional Thanksgiving bounty of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans, followed by apple and peach cobblers.
Operation Blessing has already delivered 280,000 pounds of food, water and supplies to Sandy's victims.

Stayton Urban Renewal District Referendum (May 2010)
There was a Stayton Urban Renewal District Referendum on the May 18 ballot in Marion County for voters in the city of Stayton.
This measure was defeated
City council voted for a urban renewal district, but city residents decided they wanted to petition and get the issue on a referendum vote. Residents turned in 382 signatures with at least 282 needing to be from valid city voters. Once they were validated by the county election department, the ballot was drafted. The voters were hopeful for the May 18 election date. Creation of the district would not have raised area taxes, it would just enable the redistribution of those taxes already being collected.[2]
Most residents who were asked agreed that urban renew of the downtown area was needed, but they were split on if this measure was the right way to go about it. Although a clear plan on what the urban renewal plan would be is not formulated, proponents of the renewal hoped that voters would vote on the fact they want renewal and not on a specific plan idea.[3]

Went for lunch, great sandwiches. One of those hole-in-the-wall type places that has really good food. I will definitely go back.
Had a chance to check out Fat Sam's today since the reviews were so positive. However, I must say I was totally disappointed. It's so hard to find a good philly cheesesteak in Birmingham and I really thought I had found the perfect spot. But I must say this was not what I expected at all. I ordered a philly...
I decided to visit this place for breakfast before class. Since I have been a native of Birmingham and aware of this place being here for years, I decided to give it a shot. Bad idea. This place is filthy on the inside. There is only one person working so I'm Assuming that he does not have a lot of...
Fat Sam's is a local shop, not a chain. That being said, I much prefer the sandwiches at Fat Sam's to those at the chain sandwich shops around town.
My personal favorite is the chicken philly (they also have the traditional steak philly sandwich), but I've tried many different things on the menu, and I have never been disappointed.
I loved my Philly and my husband loved his reuben. He got a bag of chips with his and mine came with fresh cut French fries. This plus two drinks was $16. Would definitely go back if in the neighborhood. It is a hole in the wall place with plenty of character and characters!!
I've been a B'ham resident for 25 years and a Fat Sam's customer for 5 years. Nothing better when you're looking for a sandwich shop, no matter what craving you have. Philly is the only one in town that my Philly native friend will eat (he's a picky chief but that doesn't stop him here). My personal favorite is the...
What a nice place to spend your lunch hour, unless you've got the afternoon to spend here, too! The sandwiches offered are one-of-a-kind, and the meat and cheese is sliced right in front of you, so you know you're getting the freshest of fresh. Oh yeah, they even slice your french fries straight from a potato for you.... you ain't...
Definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but that's what makes it so lovable. Nothing fancy. Just a great little sub place with an owner who'll act like he's known you a lifetime. Very Southern hospitality. :)
Sam is very personable and will make you a damn good sandwich. You will probably either really like or dislike the service, but I like the neighborhood feel. Check out the Fetta Finger -- a chicken tender sub, smothered in lettuce and melted feta cheese.
I just loooooove fat sams. Its always the little hole in the wall places that are so great. Well, fat sams is the BOMB! I havent been there in over two years and he remembers 'my usual'. He is always personable and cool. Always willing to talk football or rock n roll.
I usually get the ham pita with provolone...

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Since moving my child to American Academy, Parker campus from another Charter school in the area, we have nothing but praise for this school. I'm taken back by the negative comments, but I really think that comes from parents first year in a Charter school. My daughter gets her homework done in under an hour. We love the impressive hands on science labs, ability grouping, Stem program and the positive atmosphere. Not to mention ditching the heavy backpacks, by putting books in their laptops and the convenience I have lockers. Yes, they have uniforms but it's not over the top. If I had to complain I'd say it was in regards to the long carpool lines. Couldn't be happier with American Academy!!
If you want a school with TRUE ability grouping; administration that DOES try to address parent and student concerns; adm and staff that CONSISTANTLY tries to address areas that need improvement; dedicated, dynamic, qualified teachers who CARE and are held accountable; and PARENTS who care about their students and their school community, then AA is for you. Yes, HW may seem daunting at times, but, depending on the day, it can be completed or started at school with proper time management during study time. AA is not for every family, and not for every child in a family. Nonetheless, it is an incredible school!
Before attending this school, as a parent, determine what is most important for your children. A. A slightly higher standard of eduction standard scores which includes negative reinforcement throughout. Or B. a positive experience to school; understanding that everyone will be treated properly while teachers are expected to properly perform their jobs. The correct option is B; don't go for A or as a parent you regret the decision you made for your child's future.
As a parent looking to find the school that will best fit your child/family there are a few things that are important to know about American Academy. First it really is not for everyone. The informational meetings a parent attends are all conducted by the school's director. At none of the mass group meetings we attended did you hear from the principal or teachers. Observing the classrooms/teachers or even meeting the teachers is "not something we do" the school informs a parent sighting "security' reasons. EVERY other school we looked at (both private and public )were more then willing to make those arrangements. I think the STEM curriculum/uniform guidelines/ability grouping is what attracts a lot of families. But ALL schools both public and private have ability grouping. Mandatory carpool drop-off/pick-up is okay in my opinion for 3rd grades on up but not for kindergarteners/1 and 2 graders. Parents spend time reviewing the schools website and policies. They use the word "structured" ALOT but what school isn't structured. There are many young teachers at the school still learning themselves...our family personally wanted experienced teachers with longevity at a school.
This school seems designed for and by "professional moms" who have no other responsibilites and don't mind hour-long carpool lines. Required volunteer hours are mostly during the day (not reasonable for working parents). The discipline policies in the early grades are unrealistic and severe. Uniforms are high-quality, yet pricey and difficult to obtain (logo shirts are only available from retailer clear across town). This school is very tightly-wound and does not focus on whole-child development. "Book-learning" and high test scores trump real-world skills.
My kids are both thriving at American Academy's Parker campus. I couldn't ask for a better school for each of them. It is more rigorous than the school we came from but I know this will pay off for them in the long run. I am so thankful that this school opened in our town. We absolutely love it!
The reason why there are so many reviews on AA - you either love it or hate it. Some great teachers. PTO is over the top, raises tremendous amounts of $, every kid 5th grade & above has a computer - with a very large amount of quality programs loaded, that they rent. Love History & Foss science is hands on and interesting. There are some really poor, grumpy teachers - turnover is high. The spelling/phonics program (Spaulding) is confusing & not effective. Your whole family will be impacted by the stress associated with the school. You kid will cry about homework & stress. Even good students will break down and cry, at some point, in the upper grades. Kids cry about missing a day of school b/c of the amount of homework. A boot camp for middle school. So many parents love it up to 3rd grade... And then it is a real struggle. Expectations are high - but not always at a healthy positive level. Make sure you think about how this will impact you & your family before signing up - and if you have a child that struggles with school - run! We have been there over 5 years & I don't know if I would recommend it to anyone - unless the child is above average & organized.
My children have attended AA since the first year it opened, when my son was in 1st grade, he graduated 8th grade last year. I currently have 1 in middle school & 1 in elementary. It is very hard to rate AA. There are so many positives and a few, very important, negatives. The teachers & staff are very committed & caring. BUT, parents talk and lately most of us are talking about the often 3-4 hour a night homework load, especially 5th grade on. It is almost abusive and the "late work" policy, which marks of 20% off first date late, 50% off 2nd day late and 0 credit on 3rd day, makes for lots of stress, poor self-esteem and the school forced barring of kids form school extra- curricular activities. On the plus side, my children do learn time management, and a no-excuses to getting your work done mindset. I recommend AA- CP campus, but with reservations. If your child struggles or quite frankly is very bright but will challenge the idea of doing lots of homework just for the sake of "rigor", you may want to pass on AA. As the school has become larger, the administration seems to be less concerned about the well being of the students and more concerned with their "ratings".
I'm a little confused by the negative comments below, because it almost sounds like my kids (grades 2 & 4) are going to a different school! We were beyond thrilled when our kids were accepted at the new American Academy - Parker campus last spring and it's been one great day after another there. The front office is amazing - they manage a school of around 600 students every day with a great deal of professionalism and grace and good humor (I laugh almost every time I come in!). The carpool process is still a little creaky, but I know from experience with other schools that this will iron out with time and other parents figuring out the right behavior for carpool (I'm referring to the parents who think that the whole line should wait for them to personally guide their little darlings into the waiting arms of their teachers). The academics are rigorous compared to the other schools we've attended and both my son and daughter are loving their teachers and the school atmosphere. We've even had one experience with bullying that we felt was handled REALLY well, and everyone is doing much better! I recommend American Academy whole-heartedly!
I am a parent of a child that attends American Academy PKR. I am nothing but pleased and ecstatic with what my daughter has learned in this short amount time. She is challenged everyday and the teachers are so amazing. I am blessed that we were given the opportunity to move schools. I also have to say the staff at AA-PKR are amazing and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate whatever the need may be. Parent
I cannot believe how unprofessional the co-founder of this school is. As a parent, I was talking with her about the school and their expectations. I was still in the middle of the conversation when she told me thank you anyway for your concern and slammed the phone in my hear. I cannot believe how unprofessional her and some of the other staff memebers are at this Parker School! They are suppose to be teaching respect to our children. I have immediately pulled my 3 children from AA. We are back at our neighborhood school and loving it!
Education is important but kids also need to feel good about walking through the school doors every morning. I was ecstatic when my student was accepted into the Parker American Academy, now my heart breaks and I hold my breath until the end of the day. I believe teachers choose to ignore the bullying. American Academy boast of teaching/enforcing the essential 23 guidelines for manners and behaviors but often my student comes home upset by the way they are treated by other students. Teachers only communicate with you when they have something to say. I have written emails with concerns or questions that have never been answered. It is almost impossible to really know what is going on with your student because the teachers don't want to be bothered by parents. If you are looking for a school who treats your child like a statistical robot and not an individual this is the school for you. As a parent you will be put in your place very quickly which is not as a partner in our child's education. My child will not be going back next year.
Wonderful school! We have had trouble getting our son excited about school previously and now he can't wait to go! He was also a kid that depended heavily on a dedicated teacher and we have finally found that ever year here. The parent communication still amazes me and has made our split household actually work when it's always been a fight. Best choice we could have EVER made.
This school is all I wanted for my child. I have student in Parker campus. There is a great balance between hands on, book and/or memorization learning. My child ( 3rd grader) learned how to study and take notes. I see great improvement in all areas (and we came from pretty good charter school). School days are interesting and -believe or not-every day the question "What did you learn today" are answered with long and excited story and not like previously with "nothing". All that is happening because of the fantastic teachers! Those teachers are the best they can be. They work so very hard ( evenings, Saturdays- I have proof), they love their job. They care for the students and their success. The office/carpool staff are the nicest people I've ever met. They are nice, kind and helpful every day! The music department is great. Communication with parents is superb. The only hard part is when your child misses school. It is very hard to make up the assignments when they pail up with current ones. Be prepared for hard but interesting work and good organization. My child has a lot of ECA's so it's doable but not easy. I hope nothing will change.
I have never worked with such amazing and dedicated students and parents. My job is terrific. I feel like I come in and make a difference everyday. I have excellent resources, proven curriculum and supportive administration and parents. I have worked in another highly rated district, as well as Denver's inner city. AA is the best.
My kids are at American Academy's new Parker campus. We absolutely love it - such an improvement over our neighborhood school! They are thriving with the challenging curriculum and ability grouping. We are very impressed with the leadership and staff. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!
My kids LOVE this school! Been at AA since 2008. Both of my kids have had exceptional teachers every year. My son went from being in supported reading and math in kindie to being in grade level math and advanced reading. His testing scores show he's advanced in all subjects. My daughter has been consistently advanced all her 4 years. My kids really enjoy the environment. I was unhappy when we moved into the permanent facility in 2009 and class size went from 16 to 28. But my kids have still thrived with the increase in class size. The homework at times can be overwhelming, but I really think it's an individual issue. My son can make a 30 min assignment last 2 hours. It's not as strict as some of the reviews say, yes you need to wear the uniform and may get a color change or write up but I've never seen anyone get any sort of discipline for an off color hair band(that's stretching it a bit). Every child learns differently and this school may not be for everyone, but its been phenomenal for my kids and I feel they will be prepared for HS. I must add that my family isn't super wealthy and doesn't donate thousands and I've never felt that my kids were treated any lesser.
I couldn't have found a better school for my children several years ago. They were terribly bored at one of the neighborhood public schools. We opted to join the AA family when the school was still located in Lone Tree. My kids have graduated AA by now. They have had the best preparation for High School and are both way ahead of their classmates in all subjects. I strongly disagree with opinions regarding the current principal. We always found an open ear. For us things changed for the better with the new leadership a few years ago. Problems finally got addressed and solved.
This school implements ability groupings in a more effective way than I have seen at another local school that claimed that to be a strength. This school integrates technology across its curriculum, truly accelerating learning and preparing students for our changing world. This school embraces excellence and empowers their students with sustainable skills sets that will serve students throughout their lives.
Really great school! When my older son transferred in to AA, he was behind in some writing skills and had to work hard to catch up (yes, even in 1st grade). I blame that mostly on the fact that even in kindergarten, this school challenges the kids to really learn and grow. My younger son started here in kindergarten and learned at least 3 times as much as my other one did at our local school. No school is perfect, but we have found that the teachers have been responsive to our concerns and we could resolve placement issues in a timely and constructive manner. Homework in the early grades depends on the individual teacher and the student's ability -- what takes some kids 5 minutes can take others 45 minutes. But kids know what is expected of them and the standards are high. And we love the opportunities that are offered here: in the curriculum, in the field trips, in the extracurriculars. The work load has not stopped my kids from doing competitive sports, just forced us to be very efficient and organized. We have not seen any favoritism or felt that donations have altered how individual students are treated. If you come, be prepared to work and you can thrive

Today the U.S. Department of Labor adjusted Idaho's forecasted August unemployment rate upward to 8.9 percent, a seasonally adjusted figure that's the highest rate since June of 1983, when Idaho joblessness hit 9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis. "Total employment at 686,400 was at its lowest level since February 2005," the Idaho Department of Labor reported. "In just the last year, Idaho lost over 48,000 jobs."
The high rate means workers who've exhausted their federal and state unemployment benefits will qualify for some additional payments, for another three to seven weeks after regular benefits have run out. Bob Fick, Idaho Department of Labor spokesman, said roughly 150 Idahoans a week are now exhausting their unemployment benefits.

Rest Time?
I may not be teaching in the preschool level now, but for some reason, I suddenly find myself thinking about rest time. This was one period I never really gave time for in class before. In fact, even the kids didn't seem to like it so much. They'd rather do a longer outdoor play activity. However, lately I have been finding myself taking a rest period in between classes. I realized it makes a big impact on my energy levels and focus. I guess there was a purpose for it after all! However, if you do decide to include rest time in your class periods, I suggest you be careful about the kinds of pillows and mattresses you use in class, especially since it is quite hard to keep these clean. Also, allergies from things like latex mattresses or feathery pillows should also be taken into consideration. But for the most part, do go with a brief rest time in class. It makes an enormous difference for the rest of the dayRead More

Oh, Booksale, My Love!
Today I was able to go to one of the very few Booksale branches left (well, I think it is one of the last few because all the other one's I used to go to are now closed) and was sooooo happy to find a copy of James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. It was a book that I was always curious about but was never interested enough to spend a couple of hundred pesos for. Today, however, I came across a copy for –get this— 25 pesos! Amazing. I love Booksale.
Speaking of Booksale, it definitely is the best place to get kiddie books. Do check it out!Read More

Teacher's Toys
Since I'm home sick today, I decided to just get some of the work I need to get done that never have the time to do done. Har. This includes fixing up lesson plans for the next few weeks. One of the major events I have been doing these past trimesters is what I call the Psychmazing Race, a modification of the wildly popular show, Amazing Race. I have stocked up on a lot of materials but if I had a free prepaid mastercard with an unlimited limit, I am sure I can get so much more fun things to work with! One of the things I really wanna get are those little orange cones, like those used for soccer practice. That would be so much fun. For now, however, I satisfy myself with those cheap little plastic toys from Divisoria. Teehee.
Speaking of which, Teachers, FYI (but I'm sure you know by now), DIVISORIA ROCKS!Read More

Sick Days
One of the hardest things about being a teacher is taking a sick day. Seriously. Sigh.
Today I had to call in sick because I really could not stop sneezing, my eyes are like faucets, my nose stuffed beyond imagination, and my throat feels like sandpaper has been rubbed on it. Boo. The thing with being a teacher, your presence is your most important equipment or tool, so to speak. And so when this gets broken or has a kink, it is a problem Boo.Read More

More Hardware Fun!
I've written about my hardware fascination many times already in this site, but I can't help but gush about yet another hardware trip I had recently. This time I was looking for rubber mats to use as alternatives for yoga mats (for community classes I hope to teach soon). I found this interesting kind of matting, but I'm not sure about whether or not I can use it. Since I was there already, I went crazy again getting stuff I don't need…like t nuts and bolts, a cutesy little tiny hammer, some of those teeny nails, and a bunch of ropes. Why? La lang…Hehe. I know I'll find use for it sometime soonRead More

Sanskrit 101
Well lookie here. I always said I wanted to learn French, but lately I have found myself quite immersed in learning Sanskrit as part of my yoga teacher training. It's interesting and amazing how things change so quickly
Anyway, today we learned how to write in Sanskrit. It reminded me of days back when I was in grade school and we'd do writing exercises. On one hand, it felt funny to do this again after all this time, but on the other,it was such a welcome change. It always is amazing to learn something new, right? Whether it is a foreign language, a new art, or perhaps even a hobby such as doing those sodoku or springbok puzzles. It challenges you to think in ways that you're not used to and gives you a fresh new perspective in things. Suffice it to say, I loved what we did todayRead More

Real-time Medicine Delivery with The Generics Pharmacy and City Delivery
Among the many reasons I love living in such a highly technological world is the fact that many things are so much easier to do now. Even the mundane, day-t0-day tasks become quicker and more accessible. I remember a time when getting information for a school project needed thick encyclopedias, library cards, and actually having to go to places to get this done. Nowadays, all you need is internet access and viola, info at your fingertips. Now, even shopping is done with just a few clicks, a phone call, or just a text message. Even purchasing medicines can be this easy, what with the newest venture of City Delivery with The Generics Pharmacy.
Known for its desire to make medicines affordable to EVERYONE, The Generics Pharmacy and City Delivery take on the bold new step as being the first real-time medicine delivery in the metro. Simply call the City Delivery Hotline (87878) and in just a short while, your medicines will be at your doorstep. Not just any medicine at that, but generic options that give you, the customer, options to find what suits your budget best.
I was able to check this out and I made arrangements for a package to be sent to my place. I wasn't home when it arrived and my helper wasn't able to get a copy of the delivery sheet so I couldn't really check how much time elapsed from the time it was called in to the time it got to my house, but suffice it to say, it really was in real time
As a big believer of equal opportunity for all, I really love the fact that The Generics Pharmacy works on giving people options for health care. I appreciate that my doctor supports me on this and gives me the generic name of the medicines she prescribes me, even without me asking for it, so I can have that opportunity to decide what is best for me. I'm glad that this service is now available and I hope more people can start seeing the value of generic medicines

Copy Cat Issues
Sometime ago I failed a student in my class because of copying his paper from his girlfriend. Over the past week, there has been a lot of word going around about what plagiarism is and up to what extent "copying" is allowable. According to arguments being made about it, blogs are not subject to copyright. I personally disagree. Following that train of thought, however, I guess my student can argue that the paper was not copyrighted, therefore it was okay for him to copy it.
I tell you this whole copying from other sources can be so much easier if people just take the time to attribute.

What's must eat Atlantic food?
HI all,
I'll be travelling all around the East Coast (Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, St John, Halifax, Moncton, Charlottetown, St John's) with my family and was wondering if there's any must eat local specialities or must go restaurants.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance.
When I'm sitting at my computer and not my iPhone, I'll tell you all About Newfoundland food!
Alma Lobster Shop in Alma, New Brunswick. Get yourself a cold fresh cooked lobster and sit outside on picnic table overlooking Bay of Funday and enjoy. This town is right outside Fundy National Park which has amazing views if you have some time to hike the trails. Also stop into cheese factories....we stopped at one in New Brunswick and Quebec and tried wonderful cheeses. If your gut says stop at a place, following your feeling even if you have to turn around.
re: fryerlover
Ok, I'm back.
Newfoundland specialities:
Pan-fried cod: so fresh, so good. I eat as much cod as I can get when I'm home.
Jigg's Dinner: salt beef, boiled root vegetables, cabbage, gravy, "dressing" (ie: stuffing) and turkey.
Homemade jams using local berries: wild blueberry, partridgeberry, bakeapple are must tries
Tea buns: especially raisin
Homemade bread: I don't know why but soft white bread is so much better when i'm back home
Pea soup with salt beef (instead of ham)
Fish & Chips: Fried cod fish & fries, all topped with dressing and gravy.
Local beers: Blue Star, India Ale, Quidi Vidi beers (do the brewery tour!), Yellowbelly Pubs' microbrews
Newfoundland Chocolate Company's truffles: made using the local berries I mentioned above
Game meats: Moose and caribou in steaks, stews, soups or burgers.
Blueberry or Partridgeberry Pudding: it's a cake topped with a brown sugar sauce. Mmm...
PIneapple soda or Birch Beer (soda): both made by Crush (makers of cream soda)
Toutons! (pronounced TAO-TON). Fried bread dough served with jam, molasses or butter. So amazing. Looks like an English muffin but it's so soft and delicious.
Fish and Brewis: codfish and hard bread (ie: dehydrated bread - http://www.purity.nf.ca/hardandsweet....
)Scrunchions: fried pork fat. Served with cod.
Screech: Newfoundland rum
Lay's Potato chips: roast chicken and fries & gravy flavours - exclusive to NL!
Purity products (found in any grocery or souvenir store) - cookies like Jam Jams, hard candies like Peppermint Knobs, crackers like Lemon Creams, flavoured syrups. More here: http://www.purity.nf.ca/
Some places to check out:
Moo Moo's (best soft serve ice cream - we called them "custard cones"
)Ziggy Peelgood's - stationary food truck. best for fries, dressing and gravy
Fat Nanny's - small grocery store. Buy your jams and baked goods here
Bagel Cafe - good for generous portions and traditional dishes like toutons
Raymonds or Atlantica - fine dining. Worth the visit
Bacalao - modern takes on traditional dishes. loved this one.
re: cellophane_star
We have roast chicken Lays in NS, and sometimes fries and gravy too. :)
re: fryerlover
fryerlover, thanks for suggesting Alma Lobster Shop. I was in Fundy National Park this past weekend and everyone felt like getting lobster. They had cooked lobsters from 1-6 lbs, and I picked a large ~3 lb lobster with butter, garlic butter, and 3 rolls - I think the price for everything was ~$23. We sat outside at a picnic table as you described, and it was a great experience at a great price.
If you're getting to Newfoundland via Sydney or an alike place in Cape Breton then I suggest Pettipas Market/Auld's Cove Lobster Suppers. The owner is a bit of an eccentric lunatic , but he has really good food,such as his fish stew, steamed mussels and lobster. Be warned though: the restaurant is in the back of a tourist shop, and he will try and hawk off some fridge magnets and provincial flags.. They're located at 13176 Highway 104 Aulds Cove, Mulgrave, NS B2G 1N5, Canada.
There's also the only restaurant (the Sou'Wester) in Peggy's Cove, which again, has delicious seafood, and is also set in a tourist trap. However, you cannot beat the scenery.
I want to say Shaw's Landing in West Dover. Around 10-15 minutes north of Peggy's Cove. When I went, it was owned by a northern European gentleman, who made the best smoked fish I've had the pleasure of tasting. However, I heard he had sold the place and from there it went downhill. Now, I hear that it's pretty good again. Does anyone have a current opinion on the place?
I didn't take any notes in Halifax.However, I find that if you walk and/or drive around parts outside of the waterfront you'll find interesting ethnic restaurants and stores.
Halifax Farmers Market is now open 7 days a week (though it still has the most vendors on Saturdays) and has a wide range of really delicious local food including: fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, deserts, fresh cooked meals and seafood. The crepes are a Halifax favourite, I'm personally a big fan of the Mexican place on the second floor. I've never eaten at the brunch place on the first floor parallel to the fish shop but I've heard good things.
The fish shop also has a take out restaurant where you can get a lobster poutine. I highly recommend this! They will also make you a fresh steamed lobster, mussels or fish and chips. If you want to make any seafood on your own I'd recommend this shop, and if you're more adventurous you can ask them to shuck an oyster for you! Depending on your price range there are a whole wack of delicious restauraunts. If you are into fast food you should try a donair! It is kind of like a gyro but the meat is slightly different and there is sweet sauce. This is not for everyone but I love it! There is also amazing poutine at Willy's. The five fisherman and press gang are both great but more pricey. There are a lot of reasonably priced places on arglye street and surrounding areas. Your fathers moustache on spring garden is a favourite and is probably worth it for the ambience alone. The food is pretty good, but I prefer the Old Triangle for pub food. They also have locations in Charlottetown and either Moncton or Fredricton (can't remember).
I've reviewed a few of them on my blog if you want to check it out, or give me some more details and I can make some suggestions!
There's already been a detailed post on Newfoundland, but I'd say make sure to get some fries and burger (kind of like poutine but with ground beef instead of gravy) lots of cod, and don't be afraid of cod cheeks/tongues! I really liked Ches's fish and chips for traditional cuisine.
PEI is famous for blue mussels and potatoes. There is a lot of great pub-y food as well, and good lobster is everywhere on the east coast! Unfortunately it's been a few years since I've been there and don't remember a lot of the places I ate, but I do remember a delicious oyster bar somewhere kind of by the water (but not right on it).
Have fun!
re: edibleexplorer
Never heard of "fries & burger".
Ches's is a *popular* choice for fish & chips but it's not the best, in my opinion. The Big R or Ziggy Peelgood's are great alternatves. If you make over to Bell Island, make sure you eat at Dicks'. the best fish and chips!
re: cellophane_star
I don't know the official name, I've heard it called newfie poutine in the rest of the Atlantic province, but in Newfoundland they referred to it as fries with burger and stuffing or something like that. Any chip shop should have it!
Hi! Lucky you! : )
We just returned from 1st visit to Nova Scotia....absolutely breathtaking!! Literally something fabulous to see around every corner!! Didn't have enough time to do and see everything we wanted to see (or to eat everywhere we wanted !)....so already planning a return trip! Not sure where your route will take you, but here's the highlights of our visit :
Fredies Fantastic Fish House, Halifax: The Best Seafood Chowder and Fish & Chips in Nova Scotia!! (we sampled it everywhere we stopped). The Seafood Chowder was to die for!! HUGE chunks of Haddock, Lobster, Scallops in a creamy but light broth with small pieces of potatoes and onions. Fantastic!! The Fish was cooked to perfection! Lightly battered, golden, crisp on the outside, incredibly moist on the inside! The fries and fried clams were also delish! It was a little out of the way and hard to find. But definitely worth the effort!! On the list for our return visit.
Rum Runners Inn, Lunenburg: Literally stumbled upon this gem!! It was the only restaurant on Montague St., where the kitchen was not already closed, or preparing to close-before 9pm. The Seafood Platter was WOW! Smoked salmon, oysters, mussels, scallops..the presentation was beautiful and the flavours were out-of-this-world! The service was fantastic~friendly, knowledgable, helpful. A truly fabulous dining experience!
The Snow Queen, Antigonish: The description in "The Taste of Nova Scotia" Book drew us in for lunch. It is recommended for good reason! Great Seafood Chowder and Fish & Chips!!
until we tried Fredies in Halifax, this was the favourite! They say to eat where the locals eat...this place could be why that saying originated!
Henley House Pub and Restaurant, Sheet Harbour: Great lobster bisque and steamed local mussels.
And I have to mention Tom's Pizza in Baddeck! The plan was....after driving the truly breathtaking Cabot Trail, we were going to cap our incredible journey with a lobster feast in Baddeck ! Apparently I traded a side journey to Meat Cove (spectacular scenery!!) for a lobster dinner!!! lol....by the time we arrived in Baddeck~around 8:30~ literally every restaurant was shut or closing!! with the exception of Tom's Pizza!! I haven't had pizza that good in many, many years!! Made to order with the freshest ingredients it was yummy!! Thank you Tom's for saving the day!
Just a note: We made the trip in late June~ I am guessing the Summer Season doesn't really get underway until after July 1?? Which would explain, even in the heavy tourist destinations, the early closing hours in the restaurants? But we know for next time ; )
Also, while not food related, the Ironworks Distillery in Lunenburg should definitely be on your to do list!!
re: magic chef
I just looked up Fredies Fantastic Fish House (since I had never heard of it). The food may be good but it's in Bayer's Lake... and I would never advise a tourist to venture into that ugly place.
re: existential_crisis
We are tourists and we had no qualms venturing into that neighbourhood…and when we return to NS we will venture there again… to Fredies Fantastic Fish House ~ for what we think is the best fish & chips and chowder in NS. By ugly place, I assume you are speaking of the neighbourhood? Looked fine to us…numerous big brand name stores and restaurants. No where in any of the literature from the Nova Scotia tourist board were there any warnings about the neighbourhood. Besides, to be honest, I felt the more need to lock the doors on the car when we stopped by Propeller Brewery on Gottingen St. then when we were in Bayers Lake…just saying…
re: magic chef
Bayers Lake is perfectly safe; it's just not a very attractive place and there's a similar shopping area in most cities.
The area around Propeller does look a bit seedy, but I know more people who've had their cars broken into in Bayers Lake than around Gottingen. I would lock up in both spots :)
re: magic chef
magic chef,
I made it to Freddies, and the seafood chowder is exactly like you have described. Aside from the large chunks of seafood, I really enjoyed the thin consistency. Thanks for the recommendation.
I have some advice for Halifax:
- on the waterfront, I'm partial to The Battered Fish, which is a truck on the boardwalk. It's easy to find, as the food trucks are clustered.
- also on the waterfront, Sugah! is a great spot for candy or ice cream.
- there is a Cows on the waterfront also, towards the Casino
- The Lower Deck is an institution. The food is nothing special, just standard pub food, but there's a great patio and music. In the summer, there is live music during the day too. It is on the waterfront also.
- I love The Wooden Monkey, on Argyle Street. Great local and organic food. Popular with visiting celebs.
If you're in the area and traveling to Peggy's Cove, Rhubarb Restaurant (8650 Peggy's Cove Road - a few minutes from Peggy's Cove) is now under new management. I tried it last night and was blown away - very fresh fish, homemade pizzas, biscuits that I actually had a dream about last night, and craft beer on tap). They opened a bakery as well (so you can buy those ridiculous biscuits for the road) and are selling the chef's compound butters, bbq sauce, and other goodies. Awesome and so much better than almost anything else on Peggy's Cove Road (also try The Finer Diner!).
