Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel located at 1201 René-Lévesque Blvd W in Montreal
On our first night in Montreal, we stayed at the Sheraton Hotel (Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel) near Peel and 1201 René-Lévesque Blvd W. I liked this hotel. It was a walkable distance to St. Catherine Street which was full of restaurants like Reuben’s Deli, Kinka Izakaya, Captain’s Boil, Chatime Vietnamese, Korean BBQ, Chinese noodle, and more that I was greatly impressed with.

Hot Yoga Wellness Richmond Hill located at 1455 16th Ave #10 in Richmond Hill,
January 22, 2018: I finally redeemed and activated my Groupon voucher for a five-class pass today just days before it was going to expire (why do I always leave things until the last minute? XD).
I called Hot Yoga Wellness Richmond Hill first by phone to inquire about going to the Continue reading
Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls. February 2018
I snapped this photo last night. To the one performing on stage, no matter how passionate her outcrys and speeches of thankfulness were, each person remains a face in the crowd to the star performer.
Reuben’s Deli & Steakhouse located at 1116 Saint-Catherine St W in Montreal
February 12, 2018: I can’t believe we actually came here for dinner! It was the first night of our three-day tour and dinner was not included. Thus, we were given the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas near the Sheraton Hotel to eat. Right away when I saw that we would be within the Sheraton Hotel area on the map and saw Reuben’s Deli & Steakhouse, I knew I Continue reading
Oriental Chu Shing Restaurant located at 691 Somerset St W in Ottawa
February 11, 2018:
For lunch today, we went to Oriental Chu Shing Restaurant (東方明珠城) for dim sum!
Oriental Chu Shing Restaurant is in Chinatown in Ottawa. It’s a restaurant on the second floor (there is elevator access for those who are unable to take the stairs) Continue reading
Rideau Canal Skateway in Ottawa
February 11, 2018: I’ve always wanted to skate on the Rideau Canal, the frozen canal in Ottawa. It’s something so Canadian and so unique when visiting Canada’s capital city in the winter time.
Thus, since we were here for the weekend for the second annual ice dragon boat festival, we returned back to Dow’s Pavilion on the day Continue reading
Pho La Express located at 79 Montreal Rd in Ottawa
February 10, 2018: I really liked that our Airbnb was so close to a string of restaurants on the main street (in Vanier, Ottawa). One of these restaurants was Pho La Express, a Vietnamese restaurant.
When we walked in 8 p.m. ish, there was only one other dine-in party while the others later that night were take-out orders Continue reading
Fumi’s African Caribbean Restaurant and Groceries located at 502 Rochester St in Ottawa
February 9, 2018: After the ice dragon boat race was over, we searched for a food place around Dow’s Pavilion and Little Italy in Ottawa. I had noticed that there was a significant showing for African and Caribbean restaurants in Ottawa so Yelp informed us of Fumi’s African Caribbean Restaurant and Groceries.
It was a small and homey restaurant. Continue reading
The Ice Dragon Boat race held at Dow’s Lake at 1001 Queen Elizabeth Dr in Ottawa
February 10, 2018: This was my very first time watching an ice dragon boat race! I first heard of the idea when I saw a Facebook video of this winter sport floating around. It was really neat and I didn’t know at the time that I would be watching it live so soon! Continue reading
RAW Pulp + Grind located at 440 Preston St in Ottawa
February 10, 2018: In between waiting for the next ice dragon boat race, we found RAW Pulp + Grind on Preston Street in Little Italy and stopped in for some raw organic juice and wifi usage.
I wouldn’t have known from the exterior that this juice bar and health bowl spot was so spacious inside! They even have a backyard which I’m assuming gets converted into a patio in the warmer weather. Continue reading
