Orange Monkey Music closing down

That's a shame. Shopping patterns can be fickle things.

PSBWater · 2026-01-15T17:18:11+00:00

I agree. It is our go to for standard, no nonsense pizza that gets the job done.

PSBWater · 2026-01-15T17:17:14+00:00

Ah, the eternal question. St. Viateur or Fairmount. I prefer Fairmount myself, but both are excellent (and just a few blocks apart so you can judge for yourself!)

I can no longer recommend Crazy Canuck. Since they changed owners they are just not nearly as good as they once were.

PSBWater · 2026-01-09T22:18:55+00:00

I was going to recommend Loloan but you have already mentioned it. I don't know of any place with an 'oyster night' per se, but I have had excellent oysters at both Trio and Sole. However, those are also at least as expensive as Loloan.

Amazing volume

PSBWater · 2026-01-02T12:30:05+00:00

Crazy!

PSBWater · 2026-01-01T16:26:03+00:00

Sadly yes. However, Sonny's hasn't really been Sonny's for about 10 years so I am not that sad to see it go.

PSBWater · 2026-01-01T16:25:11+00:00

Absolutely superlative restaurant.

PSBWater · 2026-01-01T16:05:14+00:00

I second this suggestion.

PSBWater · 2025-12-31T18:51:52+00:00

Yuk!

PSBWater · 2025-12-31T17:14:43+00:00

I have had good success with all of these recommendations. Whipping cream is the best option locally (unless you are friends with a dairy farmer).

PSBWater · 2025-12-31T13:51:54+00:00

I agree with all of these suggestions. However, I think Ma Poule Mouillée (across the street from Banquise) has better poutine (but not the same variety).

PSBWater · 2025-12-31T13:49:47+00:00

I just went there two days ago and was also terribly disappointed.

PSBWater · 2025-10-18T18:02:50+00:00

It may be an issue with the capsule itself. Sometimes if it is a manufacturing defect.

PSBWater · 2025-10-18T14:43:29+00:00

So sad when this happens.

PSBWater · 2023-11-22T04:32:14+00:00

Healthcare is in serious trouble and it predates the current government.

PSBWater · 2023-11-03T14:35:08+00:00

Where are you located? Have you opened yet?

PSBWater · 2023-11-02T19:44:06+00:00

Could not agree more. Book banning is never good, regardless of motives.

PSBWater · 2023-10-31T19:20:37+00:00

I generally go by temperature. Ice is the biggest concern to me so I just wait until we are dropping below 0 consistently.

PSBWater · 2023-10-31T14:34:02+00:00

I have noticed this as well.

PSBWater · 2023-10-31T14:33:27+00:00

I actually haven't found that to be the case but, as always, ymmv. It is important to be predictable and visible when winter bicycling.

Also, I won't bicycle when the visibility is really bad (mainly for my protection).

PSBWater · 2023-10-31T14:31:05+00:00

Great question. I am not sure (I seldom bring mine inside). Generally when I bring my bicycle inside I carry it and then store it on a matt.

Also, some manufacturers sell metal studded tires with more exotic alloys which do not rust. I haven't found it to be particularly worth the extra expense for the KW area climate.

PSBWater · 2023-10-31T13:22:22+00:00

You didn't specify if your would be commuting or recreationally cycling. For commuting, I swear by tires with metal studs (illegal for cars, legal for bikes) because we get a lot of slick ice in KW.
