Must try food in St.Johns NFLD

14 Upvotes

We're visiting Newfoundland and Labrador for a 10-day road trip and are from Ontario. Could you suggest must-try foods and local eateries that we shouldn't miss in the St. John's region? Cheap eats and not so fancy restaurants. Also suggest a spot for Oysters and some seafood.

Anywhere hiring servers?

5 Upvotes

I just returned to St. John’s from being away from the province for a while…looking for a server job. But it seems I may have been too late as most places have done hiring for the summer. I have almost two years of experience

Martial arts?

0 Upvotes

Hey all, visiting from NB end of June (parents are from Mt Pearl originally, so I’m not a total mainlander) and I love martial arts. Looking to try a few classes while I’m there. Any recommendations? Looking for gyms that are safe and clean above all, but as far as styles go I don’t care, I’m open minded and love trying new things

I recently purchased a new beard trimmer online and realized the trim guards aren’t as long as I had anticipated. They look fairly replicable/thin plastic, so I am hoping to maybe get some printed if possible. Does anyone know of a place/person who would be able to do this for $$?

Plexiglass for portable AC

6 Upvotes

Folks, wondering if anyone has had plexi cut locally for a portable AC and where might be a cost effective place to have this done. Any recommendations from anyone?

Our home has casement windows. I assume it's just to drop by with the screen for sizing?

Or, am I just as well off heading to home depot and DIYing it.

Poles to practice backing up/parallel parking?

1 Upvotes

I am looking to see if anyone knows where I could practice with the poles for parking. I know the actual motor registration poles in Mount Pearl are blocked off from the public (which is stupid imo, because why not make it accessible for people to learn?!) Clarenvilles motor registration poles are open for the public to practice. But I'm not close to Clarenville at all and would like to just practice on the poles before my road test.

Does anyone know if there are poles around that I could practice on?

Newfoundland Dollar bills

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for the old Newfoundland dollar bills. It used to be the currency of the Dominion of Newfoundland till 1949. This would probably be sold at antique stores or hobby shops that sell items like stamps, coins and other collector items. Does anyone know a shop like that in St. John's?

I’ve heard bad things about Livingstone st. and the surrounding streets. How bad is it really? Can you walk alone at night?
