The pineapple pistachio pie from Hathaway's is very weird but incredibly good.

Two huge losses. Carne Asada were my favorite tacos anywhere Downtown. El Cortez is also likely gone for good.Damn

Carne was legit.

I ate at Carne Asada a couple of times and enjoyed their food. I could have went there more often if not for their erratic opening hours and lack of seating.

When I went by last week, Sunterra at Commerce Place was quite busy. That said, they still need to bring back the same exterior seating before COVID, and it's high time they got rid of that unused juice bar.

The cafe and salad bar alone are probably enough to keep them afloat, with how busy they appear to be. I wonder if the Commerce Place location is an outlier?

The southside location was quite busy when I was there a few weeks back. As for downtown. with GoA staff working more in the office that will help the bottom line. Commerce place had a lot of Government offices.

It may not help everything there, but it will help a number of places in Commerce Place, especially the already busy coffee places.

Might encourage a few more spots in Commerce to get re-leased.

How a neighbourhood restaurant in Edmonton is defying all odds
Northlands Coliseum, the former home of the Edmonton Oilers, is slated for demolition this summer after opening in 1974. Just a short walk west is Coliseum Steak & Pizza, which is celebrating 50 years in business — outlasting its namesake. The CBC’s Sean Newton visited the neighbourhood institution to find out what's behind the restaurant’s success.

A very solid smoked meat sandy at the Patricia St. Deli; I was amazed at the size and space in there.

I went back to The Druid for dinner. The place was reasonably busy because of the Super Bowl, which I found to be devoid of interest. This time I had the Irish Beef Stew along with a pint of Guinness - highly recommended!
