The Halifax Magazine team is always on the move; it’s great to have jobs where we get paid to explore the city. In this new department, we share our discoveries. Have a find of your own to share? Post a comment with the details.

Lunch, November 22
“The salad at Pete’s Frootiqueis delightful—one of my faves. Spinach, countless veggies, plus beets, kidney beans, chick peas, sunflower seeds and raspberry vinaigrette—yum. It’s a make-on-the-spot kind of salad, so it doesn’t have a name.” — Jeanne Gillard, sales manager

Afternoon pick-me-up, November 21
 ”I like Choco Café on Lower Water Street. The owner bombards you with free cold pressed chocolate samples, and their hot chocolate is likely the best in the city.” —Mike Ross, project manager

Music, November 21

”You won’t regret checking out Carleton Stone’s latest CD, produced by Hawksley Workman.” —Mike Ross, project manager

Afternoon pick-me-up, November 2

”I love smoothies. When I haven’t made the time to make my own at home, I stroll over to Pete’s Power Juice Bar on Dresden Row. I usually order the Peachy Keen. They offer a variety of tasty fruit smoothies and veggie juices and you can kick up the nutritional value a notch by adding supplements such as flax or acai.” – Dana Edgar, production coordinator

Lunch, October 31
“Enjoyed lunch at Niche: Niche salad with blackened chicken. Absolutely delicious!” —Jeanne Gillard, sales manager

“Sausage, eggs and a biscuit at the South End Diner: just right for an early Monday lunch.” —Trevor J. Adams, editor

Shopping, October 27
“Tom’s Shoes: You can buy a pair at Biscuit General Store in downtown Halifax. For every pair you buy, Tom’s donates a pair to a person in need.” —Mike Ross, project manager

Lunch, October 27
“I like Mama Gratti’s in the Scotia Square food court. Great price for delicious homemade meals! The line is big for a reason and it is certainly worth the wait.” —Mike Ross, project manager
