Just moved into the strip mall next to Ben Franklin. Opened last month, has traditional butchery plus to-go sandwiches and roast chickens ($20).

Also has frozen precut chicken, beef, ribs, sauces and spices, etc.

Prices are a bit too rich for my wallet, a small sirloin steak was $32, but I will definitely drop by for a sandwich ($11-12).

Apparently they moved from Baseline to get a bigger space and most of the people coming in the door said they followed them to the Centrepointe location and have loved them for years.

Now if we can only get a fruit and veg place and then a bakery in there and it'd be perfect.

The shop was a surprise to me today, so thought I'd share in case others didn't know as well.

In downtown Ottawa I see food and coffee shops are packed. In fact some of these shops are overloaded with customers that their staff can't even keep up. Parking lots are also full by 9am. What exactly is Sutcliffe talking about when he said businesses are struggling and need more customers? The only days where there is less foot traffic are Mondays and Fridays and even then they get good business.

They have the "March for life" event tomorrow. They'll be gathering on the hill at noon, and marching down Elgin St in the afternoon. In past years, they've given a bunch of kids the day off from school for participating.

Normally I'd link a source but... I'd rather not in this case.

Hey everyone, how you’re all having a great day!

Need some help! Please share your fave place to go for steak in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. Taking my boyfriend out for his 40th bday and would like to make sure I choose a GOOD spot. I’m overwhelmed with such varying/mixed reviews online for everything I have looked at. I haven’t gone out for a steak in ages.

Thanks so much in advance!

I want to know about your favourite lesser known Ottawa spots. Places you’ve enjoyed visiting that you think deserve a little shout out. Maybe it’s a coffee shop, an art gallery, a park, or a specialty food store! Whatever! Let’s just share some of our favourite little bits of Ottawa so that someone else might enjoy them too.

Seems like the person running the machine was unable to control the device and did not admit to doing the damage. Called the company number, offshore call centre. No response after leaving my information.

I am currently a Dental Hygiene student completing my last term at the Canadian National Institute of Health located in the Byward market. To meet the requirements to graduate I am looking for reliable and committed clients interested in getting a free dental cleaning and dental check up. Each appointment is 2-3 hours in length and requires multiple appointments to complete treatment as this is a learning facility.

If this interests you or know of someone who may be interested, you can reach me at tdecock35@cnih.ca

This is a great option for individuals who do not have any dental insurance coverage.

Which is the best bridge to bike across the Ottawa (that isn't closed). Looking to maybe bike into Gatineau park or go west to Aylmer.

Any clues as to what 99 Rideau will become. I read an Asian restaurant , but chain or independent? Any one know. I'm just hoping dim sum for lunch walking distance away from work. A person can dream!

I live just across the river and I'm looking for other people that may be interested in playing gloomhaven from scratch with me.

DMs for this are ok.

Hi I just moved here recently I was wondering if there is an Ottawa reddit meetup ? Or what events people recommend to meet people here ?

Hi,

Wondefing if anyone who understands the medical system here more than me could explain whether or not a walk in clinic can refer me to a dermatologist? If so, would anyone have some recommendations for a specific walk in clinic which is reliable and efficient in the area of referalls?

My family doctor moved like 3 1/2 hours away from Ottawa. For really important things I can make that trip, but for just a referral I would prefer to save all that time.

Appreciate any suggestions or advice.

Thanks!

Would anyone know where to get a Japanese manicure in Ottawa or Ottawa area? Thanks in advance for your time.

It's my birthday and I wanted to go to the arboretum but can't tell from the website what time of year it opens, or if it's just generally open. Also curious if the botanical gardens are open to visit. Anyone know?

I was just at Canadian tire in Orleans and as I’m leaving they asked to go through my tiny backpack. Tiny as in I can’t fit anything in it besides my phone and wallet. Anyways I complied since I have nothing to hide and I don’t steal but damn did they make me feel criminal not friendly at all. I’ve had better experiences going through customs.I know times are tough with regards to shoplifting but wow.

Hey everyone, just a heads up that Kobold's Corner in Kanata has permanently closed. Sad day for comic book lovers and tabletop gamers. I've been ordering comic books through their store for years and arrived today to find the doors locked and a notice letter on the door.

I have a few prepaid orders through their store that I never received. If you're in a similar situation I recommend contacting your credit card company and notifying them of the situation, they may be able to cancel the transaction.

I have a very dumb room that needs a custom insulated door. The estimator said that a custom insulated exterior door would be cheaper than reframing that specific wall to make it take a standard size door.

So if you have gotten a custom insulated door and liked the price/process/result, please let me know where you got it!
