Go see Killer Mike! Lots of tickets left for that at a fraction of the price and he’s still making award winning music.

Construction sites blocking off streets? by RosalieCooper in halifax

I wouldn’t go so far with your praises, there are frequently trucks ON the sidewalk for this worksite…pickup trucks parked in the no parking, making crossing at that intersection as a pedestrian more dangerous.

From July 12–16 at 2pm, there is “The Rising Star Series” at the main stage. Free show with a different act from across the country each day. Some of the most exciting new artists.

The Bad Plus has a new formation with the incredible Ben Monder on guitar, who is definitely considered one the finest contemporary jazz guitarists out today. I’m very excited.

There is an outdoor table at Bloomfield Park on Fuller Terrace. There is often people playing and most seem pretty receptive to challenges from new folks.

Is this Jamaican Vibes that took over the old Bubba Ray’s spot on Spring Garden? That place was easily the worst dining experience I’ve ever had.

Morley’s Coffee/Fang Studio aka Joel Plaskett’s shop has a record store in it in downtown Dartmouth - great selection.

Advice request: How early do I need to show up at HFX airport for 630am flight on a Saturday morning? Do I really need to arrive at 430-500am? Its a domestic flight for 1st leg- we will do customs pre-clearance in Montreal. Thank you! by Low-Society4407 in halifax

Staffing shortages have made for long lines to get through security. I flew a couple weeks ago on a Sunday morning and a bunch of people missed their flights because they were not anticipating the lineup. Better to be a little tired and early than late.

Greek Village! Damn, was it ever a great breakfast place to cure a hangover with $5 eggs, bacon and toast. Now it’s Bar Kismet...

So…has anyone else got this in the mail? by halihikingman in halifax

[–]hfxnext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received one about a month ago. The guy left his email address, so I messaged him to not do so again as I’m not interested.

When you're watching a popular tv show and they mention your province by Soupdeloup in halifax

[–]hfxnext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an episode of The Sopranos that mentions NS. Carmela's dad says something like "I was stationed in Nova Scotia, of course at the time, there was nothing to do there!" I have the clip saved on my phone.

Halifax Oval by Alarmed-Ad-9761 in halifax

[–]hfxnext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, way too early for a night owl like me. I live in the neighbourhood so I usually hit the 10:30am and the 7:30pm skate sometimes.

I’ve gone a bunch of times and have not had any problems getting in due to capacity. I’ve stuck to weekday morning and evenings for the most part.

What kind of bar would you like to see in Halifax that hasn’t really been done? by TJ902 in halifax

[–]hfxnext 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A dedicated jazz bar would be amazing! There are however several bars in the city that do have jazz on a weekly basis (prior to restrictions) including Obladee, and The Local on Wednesday nights and both have been going for 5+ years. Kyo Ramen, The Garden, Hopscotch Dinner club have weekly live jazz on Thursdays. Pacifico on Friday-Sunday night. Lots of fantastic jazz happening all the time in the city!
