In Love With Laundry Again: A Review of Central Laundromat

"I miss having a washing machine and a dryer. I mourn the loss of these appliances more than most. However, there may not be a better city than Kingston to go washing-machine-less. The laundromats here are friendly, cheap, and great places to snag a date. In fact, the Central...

Bento Nouveau: Pseudosushi

"“Pseudosushi” may be a bit harsh, but then again, so can be Bento Nouveau. If you find yourself with an empty stomach at 11pm and a terribly inconvenient craving for sushi, then you’ll likely end up at A&P, or some other outlet, slobbering over the...

Casa Domenico: Molto squisito!

"Is that how to say ‘very delicious’ in Italian? If not, forgive me, and pardon the limitations of my translator. Casa Domenico makes me think of Ingrid Bergman. Perhaps it’s the elegant interior or the quiet, low-lit atmosphere. Or perhaps I am making a...

Kingston, ON: Birthplace of the Pita… Pit

"Yes indeed, Kingston is the home of the very first Pita Pit. As such, and in the spirit of entrepreneurship, I feel it is appropriate to offer a suggestion to the Pita Pit franchise. Whenever I order a delicious chicken caesar pita, I cannot help but feel that things could...

On the Ghettobug

"Second in line in our pest series: the famed “Ghettobug” or, in more technical vernacular, scutigera coleoptrata. Don’t fret- the rat is still in the queue. Who hasn’t squealed upon the sight of such an insect? Certainly, I have been known to let out...

New Chocolate Doughnuts at Timmy Ho’s

"This is rather applicable to all towns, but since Kingston has such an abundance of Tim Hortons (note that there is no apostrophe; grammar’s going downhill in brand-naming), it would be alright to throw this in. We encountered the Raspberry Chocolate doughnut today....

Extremely Conscientous Hair Organization: Seriously

"ECHO Hair Studio, short for Extremely Conscientous Hair Organization, rules. Located out at 344 Bagot St. (near Royal Artillery Park), ECHO is well worth straying off the Princess strip for. The studio is gorgeous and it seems out of place in Kingston. Maybe because...

A Less Visionary Kind Of Pizza Place: 241 Pizza

"There’s nothing overtly special about 241 Pizza. It’s not too greasy or spicy or garlicy or saucy or flakey. Nope, this is straight up pizza folks. It’s the kind of plain and simple stuff that is best consumed sitting on your couch, eaten straight from the...

You’ll Sink at the Rink: Some Small Talk

"Yes, we’ve all noticed the rubbish Mother Nature has been dishing our way this past November- although it’s not the same sort of rubbish we’re used to. While the rain is status quo for the fall, it’s not typical to be sweltering in your wool on...

Pay Your Bills With Bratz

"If you’ve had a parking ticket issued between November 1st and December 8th, there’s no better time to pay it off than now. Why? Well, for the second year in a row the City of Kingston is accepting toys in lieu of cash. Yes, you can finally find a use for that...

"[ December 20, 2006; 7:30 pm to 11:30 pm. December 21, 2006; 9:00 pm to 11:30 pm. ] What better way to kick off the holiday season than with two nights of high energy, feet stomping, sing along rock at the Grad Club? The 14th Annual Salvation Army Benefit will go down on...
