Not sure if this falls under essentials... basically it is a government run liquor store next to Sobeys, offering a fine selection of wine, spirits and beer.

For those of you that wanting to go downtown, but are not feeling downtown driving/ parking . Consider parking your car in Dartmouth ( which is A LOT easier then parking downtown Halifax) and taking the ferry across. The ferry actually offers the cheapest method to see Halifax Harbor by water, if you are not feeling the jacked up prices that tour boat operators offer.

One of my favorite in Fall River. Casual, relaxed bright and cheery space. For breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea. They source locally grown and produced products where available and thoughtfully design the daily menu in an attempt to cater for all dietary requirements. Fresh and Delicious, homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and treats.
