Food Scene

Amazingly tasty Greek food, from a native of Crete. Also, all ingredients locally acquired to further the sustainability movement, as well as organic. Plus, Eleni lives down the street, when she's not living at her restaurant in the Pearl! :-) Very reasonably priced, as well. Make sure you order the Saganaki! Greek cheese, soaked in cognac, brought to your table alight, to be extinguished by your server with a lemon wedge. Mmmmm....mouth watering.

Wonderfully original ice cream parlor - lots of great flavors that you just don't find anywhere! Within walking distance, and lots of artsy and eclectic shops, not to mention many food carts, along NE Alberta. A wonderful day's outing!

Delicious Asian fusion in a fun atmosphere. A little further out, but you could walk there if you have 1/2 hour or so.

Delicious food, nice, quiet restaurant, walking distance...without a hint of pretentiousness. Italian inspired, and wood fired pizza. Very fresh, locally grown ingredients. Concise menu, medium priced.

Great Mexican food and fun atmosphere -- with a child's playroom just off the main dining room. Been going there since my son was 4. (A long time ago!) Food is consistently good, and they will let you taste the various meets prior to ordering. They also have a full bar, and a lot of picnic benches outside, under awnings. Reasonably priced.

This is within walking distance, and is so many things rolled into one. It is a renovated school, turned (several) restaurants, bars w/live music, movie house, museum, and an awesome garden patio with a gorgeous, mosaic fireplace. Food is typical McMenamins...I wouldn't call it AMAZING, but it is solid and reasonably priced...great fun and lots to do for families, and couples.

Parks & Nature

A gorgeous hike - not for the beginner, or small children. Fairly steep at times, but the views are spectacular. Especially with the spring and early summer flowers.

They have a very friendly, off leash dog park, soccer field, tennis courts, and Beverly Cleary monument and playground. There is also a track and field for runners, and a public swimming pool.

Entertainment & Activities

This is a wonderful activity, especially for families. Lots of hands on things to do, from tiny hands to full grown ones. Also the home of one of the last nuclear subs -- the one that was used to film, "The Hunt for Red October." Great OMNImax movie theatre, as well as an indoor planetarium, set to music and laser shows appear there as well.

Great neighborhood store for essentials, and produce. They have yummy soft served frozen yogurt, too! Open until midnight, I think every night except Sunday.

This is a superstore. It's humongous. They have a little bit of everything...complete groceries, with lots of organic and healthy aisles, plus a pharmacy, vision center, jeweler, apparel, electronics, toy sections, home goods, hardware, nursery, many deli counters, as well as "play land" if your child wants to play in a supervised area, while you shop.
