Ahhhhhh! Hi ! i'm currently vacationing in the beautiful city of Winnipeg ! anything I absolutely must see before I head home to the states?
Yay!
When do you leave?
This weekend is Doors Open Winnipeg, in which I most definitely recommend you partake if you like architecture and history. I would recommend the Granite Curling Club, Red Road Lodge, the Mint, and the Legislative.
Places I’d go hang out:
- Pop Soda’s - Super cute! Like hanging out in someone’s basement. Often an event going on, especially on the weekend.
- FortWhyte Alive - Walk or bike to get in for free. Enjoy a bit of nature. Catch a sunset?
- Bike down Wellington Crescent, grab ice cream at Sargent Sundae, and picnic in Assiniboine Park; maybe buy a bag of ice cream treats and hand them out! ;)
- King’s Head Pub - comedy, music, lots of stuff this week!
- Walking tour of the Exchange District - Death and Debauchery looks particularly interesting
- The Manitoba Museum - Love this place! So much to see.
- Norman Rockwell at the Winnipeg Art Gallery - Amazing! Worth the admission, imo.
- Take a free art class at Art City
Places I’d go eat:
$ - Biryani House (excellent value, tasty), Shawarma Time (nice folks, quick food; get it spicy!), Parlour Coffee (best coffee in the city, by far)
$$ - Yuki Sushi (decent, cheap sushi in a divey Main St. bar; can’t beat the vibe), Pasta al forno at Pop Soda’s (such a cute place!)
$$$$ - Segovia (go with friends!)
edit/ I just read you need gluten-free. Lorenzo’s specializes in gluten-free groceries. Others can be found here http://www.manitobaceliac.com/local-resources-2/where-to-shop/ and there’s also a list of celiac-friendly restaurants, http://www.manitobaceliac.com/local-resources-2/restaurants-winnipeg/. Pop Soda’s, which I mentioned, has gluten-free options for pasta and bread.
If you can get outside the city:
- Any field :)
- Oak Hammock Marsh
- Lower Fort Garry
There’s so much more! Have fun!

Mini-Commentary Reblog: Winnipeg
Woohoo! I love Canada, too. (grin)
Things i’m learning from canada:
Sweet tea isn’t normal
Hot sauce isn’t hot (unless in asian eatery)
Saying “ya’ll” elicits giggles
People are actually physically active here.
Wal-mart actually closes
Processed cheese is labeled as processed cheese on menus.
I love canadaaaa @0@
