If you’re in Niagara, St. Catharines to be exact, and you’re looking for a place that serves great wings, look no further… J Rocks Bar & Pizza can handle that request with 40 different flavors of chicken wings (+1 since my favorite is plain with salt & pepper). The wings are not only a great size, but they are fried to perfection. They are always crispy on the outside, which  [ Read More ]

So, I had the opportunity to eat at the Feathery Pub in St. Catharines, Ontario tonight for the first time. I knew that it’s a happening place where bands come to play on the weekends, but was unaware that the food was good. Aside from the 20 some-odd beers they have on draft, they have an extensive pub menu with tons to choose from. Feeling like a home-style meal that  [ Read More ]

Okay…So, I thought we would try a new place to get Chai Lattés in Niagara Falls today. It was suggested to us by a family member who had seen this place. It’s called Neighbour’s Café @ 7307 Oakwood Dr.  @ McLeod Rd. in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I honestly hate giving bad reviews, but I want to save you the trouble, money and time if you’re looking for a great place  [ Read More ]

I’ve been reviewing a fabulous, new local, Niagara cookbook by my new friend, Lynn Ogryzlo called “Niagara Cooks“. This cookbook heralds in a new way of life reminiscent of days of old – getting back to eating local food, “from farm to table”. Not only is supporting our local farmers and food suppliers good for your local economy, but it’s healthier and tastier for you too! I’m making it out  [ Read More ]

I happened to notice an establishment on Lundy’s Lane today in Niagara Falls, Ontario that I hadn’t seen before. I usually go to Teaopia at the Pen Centre in St. Catharines, as many of you know from previous posts, but I’m so happy to find this place! LM Teas was formerly known as Lodi Market. I am a serious darjeeling tea freak, so I needed to get some and noticed  [ Read More ]

That’s not a typo…LOL There is a restaurant in St. Catharines, Ontario called “Itt’s Thai“! My mother and sister wanted Thai, but didn’t feel like driving from the Pen Center (a mall in St. Kitt’s) over to Spicy Thai and heard there was one over on Hartzel Rd. They told me it was super clean and very nice inside. The waiter was helpful and friendly too. Most importantly, the TASTE!  [ Read More ]

I must admit…when I order Pizza in Niagara Falls, Ontario, I usually resort to Pizza Hut – I love their crust. If I’m looking for cheap, Little Caesar’s has the $5 Hot N’ Ready – then you “doctor it up” at home yourself! I was craving pizza the other night and wanted to order Pizza Hut…However, they told me their delivery guy went home sick. Glad they did that as  [ Read More ]
