    I love this place for the history alone. It's a wonderful old stone building right on the Halifax Harbour Boardwalk...the end closest to the Casino. It used to have a huge food court that no longer exists (well there are a couple of bakery type kiosks, but now there's a micro brewery, I have yet to try). I guess you could call this a shopping center, after all there are lots of shops. And obviously the focus is on tourists. In fact, many shops are closed during the long, dreary and tourist lacking season. But you won't find The Gap etc., What you will find is everything from Kitsch to fabulous local artisan treasures, from handmade clothing to printed t-shirts made in China or Indonesia; from trinkets to one of a kind items made by Maritime craftsmen (and women). So even though some of the shops are closed, it's still a perfect place to wander on a cold wintry Halifax day.

    This spot speaks for itself. Historical relevance and a beautiful example of Halifax's on style of cityscape, its easy to revel in its stand-out aesthetics. Whether its just a quiet meander amongst the sweet end of tourist territory, or a shopping/ dining excursion, this area does not disappoint. Some of the best bakeries, galleries, ice-cream shops and fast food shacks linger nearby, and the opportunity to taste the city's eclectic vibe is all within distance. Visitors to Halifax can certainly enjoy this spot for a variety of endeavors in one sweet swoop.

    This mall seems to me like a mall where people who work nearby go for lunch (at the food court) and…read morethen run some errands on their lunch break and/or after work. It's functional but it's not exactly a shopper's dream. Got a headache? There's a Lawton Drugs. Need to buy a co-worker a birthday card on your lunch break because you forgot it was their birthday? There's a Carlton Cards? Don't want to pay $4 for a card for this co-worker? There's a Dollarama! Spilled some coffee on your white skirt? There's a Reitman's so you can buy a new skirt then drop off your dirty skirt at the dry cleaners. You get the idea. In my opinion, there are no cool shops here or any fashionable stores, just functional get the job done kind of places. The food court has a nice mix of chain and independent places.

    This mall is an odd duck. I love having a mall downtown - it's not often that I'll make it to the…read morebigger malls in the city - but this little one isn't known for its top of the line stores. You've got the mall standards - a Starbucks, a Lawtons, Carlton Cards, etc. - but you've also got some locally owned places, especially in the food court. I love having the option to buy somewhere that's more local even in a mall. I'm not going to lie though, I mostly come here because my doctor's office is here and it's got one of the best stocked Lawton's for makeup in the city.

    Sunnyside Mall in Bedford is more upscale than most and definitely worth the drive from Halifax if…read moreyou're looking for trendy, somewhat pricey merchandise. You'll find a fabulous Pete's Frootique, stocked quite differently from the one downtown and right next door is Cristall & Luckett Wine Merchants with a great wine selection from around the world. Prices range from $13 to ...well high and will go with any delicacy you've purchased at Pete's. As for fashion, there are clothes for kids at Bib & Tucker, as well as a number of shops for men and women that are unique and not your typical mall selection. One of my favorite shops is Uncommon Gear a very eco friendly place to buy toys, games and gear from strollers to every other nurturing thing kids need. Several home decor and foodie focused shops like Cucina Moderna, Backyard & Veranda (that has lots of stuff for indoors as well). There's even a branch of Stokes (always has sales and fun kitchen gear). The far end of the mall has travel agency, shoe repair...and more, plus access to Canadian Tire. And lastly, if you're into local handicrafts, there's a market just for you on Sundays from 11-5.

    If you're looking for a rainy day shopping center that you can spend hours browsing through, then…read morethis mall is probably not the one you're looking for. That being said, it has some unique stores and a pleasant artsy vibe (especially on the end of the mall that houses Pete's Frootique). The mall is mainly centered around Pete's Frootique as a prime destination, and prime destination it is.. It's somewhat comparable to "Whole Foods" in the US albeit on a smaller scale, but it makes up for its small size with a huge variety of food items that you are unlikely to find anywhere else in the city. The mall also has a variety of the standard cell phone carrier stands, a (too?) small Indigospirit bookstore, Mark's work wearhouse, Hallmark etc. The food court is small but the quality and health consciousness of the non-chain food vendors here makes it a very attractive to stop by for a meal... especially if you enjoy fresh ingredients and want a break from the monotony and excessive food processing offered by the standard fast food chains.

    Most reviewers don't seem to be fans of this particular Superstore, but I've grown to like it over…read morethe past few years. Pros: - Convenience. Although it's technically not the closest grocery store to my home, it's close to a number of other places that I frequent (library, Dollarama, etc.). - 24/7 hours are great! - Big parking lot. - Large selection, especially for ethnic foods. I find this very hard to come across in HRM. Good selection of housewares, health/beauty, and seasonal products as well. - Decent prices and frequent sales/coupons. - There's usually a rack full of reduced-price produce lurking somewhere, of which I am particularly fond. Cons: - This place never, ever sleeps. Ever. Convenient hours means constantly busy, even in the middle of the night. - Parking lot is a nightmare to deal with, especially on weekends. Neither motorists nor pedestrians pay attention to what they're doing or where they're going. - The public washroom is quite possibly the most revolting washroom I've ever set foot in. I lodged a complaint about it some time ago but no one bothered to follow up on it. - Check-out experience is usually slow. If you need something, this location probably has it. Worth trying if you haven't before.
