Not sure if this falls under essentials... basically it is a government run liquor store next to Sobeys, offering a fine selection of wine, spirits and beer.

For those of you that wanting to go downtown, but are not feeling downtown driving/ parking . Consider parking your car in Dartmouth ( which is A LOT easier then parking downtown Halifax) and taking the ferry across. The ferry actually offers the cheapest method to see Halifax Harbor by water, if you are not feeling the jacked up prices that tour boat operators offer.

This newly opened restaurant is a welcome addition to Fall River. The menu is pretty standard serving regular fare i.e. pizza and pasta. The food is descent, and they have a great patio that you can nurse a sangria on a warm day.
