Local Love List: Antique Store, Cake Beer, and More!

March 13, 2020 By Kari Leave a Comment

Hidden gems, cool local products, and unique events happening in the Edmonton area.
Here’s what’s on your Local Love List this week!

The Local Love List is published every Friday at KariSkelton.com. Be sure to pop in next week to see what’s up!

Great Date Night

  • Greta Bar is such a great spot for a date night! We went last Friday, and loved it! To paint the picture – it’s an upscale arcade and bar serving up street food right from a built-in food truck! I mean… how cool is that? The food isn’t just ‘good for bar food’, it’s actually really, really good. Every night is date night, which includes two signature cocktails and a $20 gaming card. All the little touches make this place great – for example, all the games have cup holders! Check them out here.

Best Restaurants

The five best overall restaurants, according to Avenue Magazine are:

  1. Biera
  2. RGE Rd.
  3. Uccellino 
  4. Corso 32
  5. Bündok

Get tickets to the Best Restaurants event here.

Downtown Dining Week

It’s on! Downtown Dining Week kicked off this past Wednesday, and runs until March 22. Enjoy a two-course lunch and brunch for $20, and/or multi-course dinner for $35 or $50. See the list of nearly 50 participating restaurants here.

Cake Beer

Town Square Brewing has teamed up with The Art of Cake on a new brew. White Wedding is made with a cake from AOC! Yes, actually. It will be available starting April 1. You can watch the video of the cake being dumped into the mix here.

Mug Love

Found these adorable mugs at Jilly’s Boutique in Windermere! Call the store to snag one. 780-452-2595.

Shop Local Sale

  • My friends at Nest in the City – the modern marketplace for motherhood – will be rescheduling their Spring Sample Sale that was set for this Saturday, March 14. I’ll let you know the new date as soon as I know. My tee, Winnies Online boots, Cooper Blu scrunchie, and this amazing Campfire Blanket from Lace Brick Design are all from vendors that we’re supposed to be at the market. Shop them online and show your support for our local businesses who (like many) are taking a hit right now.

New Dress

  • I hear if you dress for spring it will come! 🙂 Scored this amazing blue floral dress from Shop the Skinny for my hosting duties at last weekend’s International Women’s Day event at West Edmonton Mall. Shop it here. 

Local Lov List-3

Antique Store Westmount

  • Be sure to pop into this really cool antiques shop in Westmount. The General Merchant occupies a 106-year old historic building at 10985 127th street. Find all sorts of vintage gems – collectible toy cars, home decor, records, toys, etc. The owner, Alexander Archbold, also has an impressive YouTube channel where he and his wife document renovation projects – most recently of their own home.

Local Love List-2

Foraging Walks

  • Kevin Kosswan  will be hosting foraging walks through Edmonton’s river valley. The filmmaker and ‘culinary expeditioner’ will guide you through discovering wild fruit, greens, onions, spices, herbs, mushrooms, flowers, roots, and more. Several dates have been released between May and September. Secure your tickets here.

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
