    Downtown Halifax

    The Halifax Club is a members only organization established in 1862. Apparently, when the land was…read moreoriginally purchased in the late 1800s it only cost $8000. It is a gorgeous old building in downtown Halifax, and in the last number of years the direction has been shifting; attempting to transition from its fairly stuffy roots, into something a little more accessible and perhaps more appealing to a younger crowd. Last night I attended a theatre performance at The Halifax Club. Zuppa, an amazing local theatre company, staged their play "Penny Dreadful" in the Uniacke room. The play is set in the 1800s so The Halifax Club as a venue, with its high ceilings and large paintings, was a very appropriate choice for the ensemble. The Pryor room bar was open before and after the show and our charming bartender Alex was helpful and generous. I enjoyed a glass of red wine for $7.5 while my date's beer was about $5.5. All of the people we encountered during our evening were very friendly and fun. If you happen to be invited by a member to dine or attend a function at The Halifax Club, you should accept the invitation. If you're hoping to become a member, check out the website. I'm sure it's not cheap, but you can feel both a sense of excitement and nostalgia knowing that you're walking the same halls that James C. Cogswell and William Cunard once did.

He walked us through the menu and any rentals we needed (dance floor) and was really accommodating. We had the place to ourselves and they were able to let the wedding party in early for photographs (damn rain...the only rainy Labour Day weekend in almost ten years, I swear). The food was great. I loved that I didn't have to worry about decorations - a few flowers, a bit of sheer fabric to match our colours on the table and boom! the place was ready to go. My guests loved it and kept saying how classy my wedding was, but it was all because I chose this as my venue. (disclaimer: this is all based on the service I had in 2004).

    Fascinating & Informative - A Must for History Lovers…read more The Halifax Maritime Museum of the Atlantic was such a great experience! There's so much to learn, and the exhibits are incredibly well done. We especially loved the Titanic section--super moving and full of fascinating detail. It's definitely worth the price of admission, especially if you're even remotely interested in history or maritime culture. We left feeling like we'd learned a lot and gained a deeper appreciation for Halifax's role in so many historic events. Highly recommend!

    Tucked along Halifax's beautiful waterfront, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a delightful…read moreand deeply moving place to spend a few hours. As someone who loves seeing how boats are built--and having seen artifacts from the Titanic and even lighthouse lens glass--this museum delivers on every front. One of the strongest parts of the museum is its display of small craft and ship models, from early sailing vessels to steamships. You can see in great detail how ships were constructed over the centuries. The galleries let you view models up close, walk around them, and see components of engines, rigging, and other boatbuilding parts. There's also a section devoted to the Titanic that adds real emotional weight, since Halifax played a role in recovering victims and artifacts. Some of the rare items include a wooden deck chair and personal belongings that tell human stories behind the tragedy. Beyond that, the museum also highlights other fascinating aspects of maritime life, like navigation instruments, lighthouse lens glass, and shipwrecks along the Atlantic coast. Another powerful exhibit focuses on the Halifax Explosion, with fragments of the munitions ship Mont Blanc and artifacts that show just how far pieces of the vessel traveled. These details really drive home the scale of the disaster. Being from the Boston area, this has special meaning for us. The museum also covers naval history and the Age of Steam, with everything well organized and informative. The admission price is very reasonable for the amount of history and artifacts you get to experience. Many people expect to stay for an hour but end up spending two or three because there's so much to see. The staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable, and the museum's waterfront setting--with views of the harbour and the historic CSS Acadia docked nearby--makes the visit even more memorable. While the Titanic collection is smaller than expected, the quality of the artifacts and the way stories are presented make the exhibit impactful. A few exhibits are dimly lit, especially the storage displays, but this hardly detracts from the overall experience. If anything, it encourages you to slow down and take it all in. Overall, if you care about boats, history, the Titanic, or just powerful stories from the sea, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a must-visit. It balances technical detail with human stories, offering a museum experience that is both educational and very moving

    It's alright. Y'know, it's okay…read more I only ever had one class here but I've been to a ton of events in this space. And it's a great venue. I've been to academic conferences that make use of the large classrooms with the open common space. It's great for that. The little cafe is good (not great) but it must have a hard time competing with the student union building and the Second Cup next door. The building is new which means it's pretty high tech. I find the layout can be a bit awkward at times. For example, if the bathrooms on the main floor are out of service (e.g. being cleaned), the next available bathrooms are up a long flight of stairs (or a slow elevator ride) and across the width of the building. Not much you can do about that now, of course. The temperature control is better than a lot of the older buildings on campus so that's always a plus.

    This building is pretty slick and Wall Street chic. It was completed in the Fall of 2005 and stands…read moreas one of the newest buildings on the Dalhousie University campus. I've written exams in a couple of the rooms on the main level. I've also crept into the higher echelons for an interview and poked around some of the foyer areas. The classrooms are pretty stream lined, with tiered seating and modern tech systems. The building is kept impeccably tidy, and the bathrooms are not exempt from this high standard of cleanliness. On the main level toward the back, there's an area to read and hang out, as well as a small cafe located just off of the main entrance. This building is fancy and probably attracts new students to the program based on the impressive nature of the space.

    I had such a horrible experience as promoter in Spatz Theatre recently…read more Rented Spatz theatre around dozen times for events I promoted in 2018-2019. Spatz Theatre was managed by Sara who always did a great job. I had a show scheduled for March 2020 that was postponed due Covid restrictions. I was so excited finally to reschedule my show for March 21 2022, day when NS was going to lift some Covid Restrictions. Around 2 weeks ago i got an email from Cathy, who replaced Sara as manager, informing me that Spatz Theatre and school board decided to cancel my event, because " they are not ready to host full capacity event yet" even i told them all patrons going to wear masks at the show so that would help to avoid some risk. They also told me that even if they would reschedule my event all tickets should be refunded first because they want to change a box office provider. That really disappointed me because unnecessary refunds always are stressful for a promoter and ticket holders. 2 weeks before an actual event i had to look for another venue and change so many things: advertising, contract, setting a new box office for event , etc. Luckily Rebecca Cohn Auditorium was available for the same date and they had no issue to host a big event even they are located in educational facility as well. Just couple hours before refunds to ticket holders i found out that Spatz and Ticket Halifax want to hold CC fees and box office fees and do not refund it to ticket holders, even cancellation of event was completely not their fault. I literally had to fight with Cathy about it and made them refund my ticket holders in full amount. After posting announcement about changing venue on event page and refunds started to get processed i was receiving a lot of messages asking about directions to buy tickets on presale even it supposed to be sent in email with cancellation explanation that supposed to be sent before refunds would be made and then few more times after that, to be sure all patrons was noticed about changes. I asked Ticket Halifax representative Lindsay to fix that issue but they denied it and didn't do anything to help me and my show ticket holders. Just now i received a copy of email from Ticket Halifax from one of my ticket holders and I found that text of letter was not one that i approved. They changed it and removed an explanation why Spatz Theatre cancelled this event. Not only actions of Spatz Theatre and Ticket Halifax caused stress and financial loss for me and ticket holders but they also lied to me. I don't think that's behaviour appropriate for people who manage the theatre. It's not ok to treat your loyal customers like that! Extremely disappointed.

Every…read morepart of is it so new that it still has that 'new theatre smell' if such a thing exists! I made it in the other night for a limited run of RENT. While I won't make this review all about the show (which I LOVED by the way), it was a great space for that sort of a production and I'm thrilled that Spatz opened their doors to a new theatre troupe ready to make a splash. Seats are comfortable, acoustics seem fine (I know nothing about that stuff), and there's plenty of room both around you when seated, and in the auditorium in general (there's even a balcony). Downsides? Well, it's a little weird to enter through a high school especially when waiting for the doors to open in a cafeteria type space. It was all a little too Degrassi for my liking.

There was no special event happening when we went, so we just experienced it as a ferry terminal. However, we did eat at Evan's Seafood, the restaurant there and walked along the waterfront. There's a section that has beautiful glass sculptures hanging from the ceiling. And the waterfront has a heart bench sponsored by Charms covered in locks put there by lovers, lol. There's also a liquor store there. I'm sure it's much cooler when there's an event happening, but even when there's not, it's still nice. (190)

But nowadays, Alderney Landing is a special little space all on its own. After disembarking from a nice voyage over the harbour, I was surprised to see a booth booking whale watching tours and other fun aquatic adventures. As I stepped further, I noticed people sitting at a table, enjoying sammies and coffee from a little resto in the building. Not only is there a little alternative product/healing shop, there is an art gallery, an NSLC, a fancy restaurant and a little deli. On the weekends watch out, because this place is turned over to farmers and independent wares producers. Come for the salad greens, and stay for the theatre! The Alderney Landing Cultural Convention Center has a lot to offer. Whether you're looking to pick up a bottle of wine to go with dinner or you're wanting a bottle of infused oil from the deli, this place has a surprising amount to offer. I was quite pleasantly surprised by how this place has expanded over the years. Yay Dartmouth!
