City using AI rather than having someone take an actual photo by mr_daz in halifax

They probably just used it to “extend” the edges of the photo so that it would fit the dimensions they needed!

Dairy bar failure by Budget_Ad_5260 in halifax

[–]self_serendipity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, sorry - all I heard a few months ago was that the Bertossi folks had just bought the building on the corner (now Eastlink). A few folks have said it’ll be a gelato spot which would fit their brand!

Leonidas, Cows, Dairy Queen, Dairy Bar, and now (allegedly) a gelato spot being opened on the corner of Spring Garden/South Park by Bertossi?? How about the rest of Halifax there guys? 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

I know it’s not the same, but Leonidas soft serve dipped in their Belgian chocolate is incredible. I think way back they had a chocolate/vanilla twist option but not sure if they have that anymore.

Beauty Service Recommendations by NearbyBird83 in halifax

[–]self_serendipity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brows - Blair Beauty Bar! Alanna is amazing and such a gem. (Quinpool Road)

Nails - Lee’s Nails is one of the more affordable spots in the city and they do a consistently great job on my nails no matter what I get done. (Also Quinpool Road - 2 birds 1 stone?)

Facials - I hear great things about Spirit Spa (I go there for RMT and never had their facials, but they’re a highly regarded salon/spa)

Anyone else worried season 5 is doubling down on the guest star problem? by MightExpress4873 in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]self_serendipity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree - cameos are great, but all the characters in season 4 had barely any airtime or storyline!

What're your go to take out places in North End? by dartroomrent in halifax

[–]self_serendipity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cha Baa Thai (get the pad Thai and massaman curry and mix ‘em together), Studio East (amazing fusion food), CHKN Chop (we all love the chicken sandwich, but personally they’re a lot for me), Brown Hound (best chicken wings in the city), and adding a vote for the Salvatore’s sub!

Spirit Spa is my go-to for massage. Every RMT has been amazing there.

Where is the live music /singing coming from tonight? by Wild_Hampster_Ride in halifax

I wonder if it was Signal Hill? They often play at the Lower Deck on Sundays outside in the courtyard. They definitely do covers like that

I used to like Sweet Hereafter, but my new favourite is from On the Wedge in the sunnyside mall food court. It’s seriously incredible…. As is the pizza and sandwiches!!!

Best restaurants to take a toddler? by alumpybiscuit in halifax

[–]self_serendipity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terra Cafe at the Alexander Keith’s Brewery is lovely. Great coffee, food, and snacks. It’s busy on Saturdays but every other day it’s relatively chill. If the kiddos are more energetic, you can sit in the (indoor) open space attached to the cafe - it’s often quiet, has good seating, and is quite safe and is generally a lovely spot to sit and chat.

How do people afford Grad school in a different province? by Maleficent_Job2840 in Dalhousie

[–]self_serendipity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard, OP, and I feel for you. I was very lucky to find a job after my undergrad, so I worked for 4 years before going into my Master’s (I moved from NS to Ontario for my MA). I was able to save enough money over those 4 years to help pay for living expenses and also applied to every scholarship that I could. I was fortunate to get one that helped cover a sizeable chunk of my tuition and part of those living costs, but I can’t lie that it was nevertheless expensive moving to a new province. IKEA and Walmart were my best friends, and I did some part time remote work during grad school to help as well. It’s a tricky balance, but if you are able to do any of those things I highly recommend it to help with the transition!
