I had heard that Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot had a conveyor belt Continue reading

The Capitol Theatre located at 20 Queen St in Port Hope
August 18, 2018: After a splendid dinner, we headed two minutes down the street in downtown Port Hope to the Cameco Capitol Arts Centre (Capitol Theatre) to watch a musical!
I have loved watching musicals ever since I watched my first one in 2008 (ten years ago in fact!). Thus, when I found out that Port Hope had its very own theatre and that a Disney classic was going to be on stage, I was extremely excited and looking forward to it. As a huge musical theatre fan, it was Continue reading

Ninki Sushi located in the PATH at Scotia Plaza at 40 King Street West in Toronto
August 16, 2018: I’ve passed by Ninki Sushi, a Japanese restaurant, dozens and dozens of times whenever I work at the Bay Adelaide Centre, but this was my first time dining in. I never knew what a fancy restaurant it was inside!
