I wanted to check it out, so on Monday as we were returning, we stopped. The big green barn has apples and other options available for purchase, but I heard one of the girls say they don't take credit card there, only up at the store. We went to the orchard and picked our own. Everything was well labeled and easy to navigate. I was disappointed to see that other pockets had left a lot of garbage in the orchard, everything from a empty bottles to dirty diapers. Who does that? I had never eaten a goldee before and really liked those. The empires were nice and crisp. Apple cider was a hit with my husband. I would definitely stop again if in the area.

You can't make popcorn at a movie theatre? They told me some could go to waste. I planned to buy 2 large popcorns. That alone would pay for the cost of the kernels times by 10. If you had any idea of the cost of kernels. Have you ever tried not making a full batch of popcorn? We stood there while they just ignored us, then she went to ask another lady if she's allowed to make popcorn. It's a movie theatre, make popcorn. They weren't accommodating at all. Will not be returning. The screen was a little small I didn't have high hopes for that anyways. I was hoping for a little nostalgic feeling theatre. But if you go keep in mind if it starts at 7 it immediately starts at 7. Don't be late. Also there will be no popcorn, unless you go early. They're incapable of making more.

I've always been curious about this place when I walked past in on my Kingston travels, and now my…read morecuriosity has been satisfied! It's basically a rep theatre, but what a rep theatre! Two screens, with them and the box office upstairs. There is elevator access, so the space is totally accessible. I didn't take any photos here, because although I don't mind being a nuisance in a restaurant, there's something about doing it in a movie theatre that makes me reluctant. So we'll see how good my powers of description are. You can buy tickets ahead of time online, or at the box office. I did the latter, and was amazed when the ticket master swung a screen around and showed me the seating plan. I could choose my own seat! What world was this? What kind of rep cinema heaven? All the standard concession standards were on sale, along with various beers and ciders for the adults who want such things while watching a movie. The decor isn't anything remarkable, except for the closed gramophone cabinet with a DO NOT TOUCH sign (close enough, I forget the exact wording). It made me wonder if they crank it up for special events... I saw a lady with a ceramic coffee mug. So as to not keep everyone in suspense, a slide in the theatre said they can serve you a drink in a ceramic cup or a disposable one, your choice! What was going on? Futhermore, my popcorn with no topping was delicious. Almost no unpopped kernels. Another slide informed me that they popped them using coconut oil, and that they used REAL BUTTER. What are the rents like in Kingston, anyway? With all this, the prices were comparable to what you pay in Toronto for a rep theatre. The theatre is long and narrow, because there are two of them side by side. For the size of the room, the screen is a fine size, and the seats are modern, clean, and comfortable. Sound is great as well. I chatted with the cinema masters behind the counter after the movie, and they aren't on any standard rep circuit. The owner picks out what they like for the programme. Frankly, I liked a lot more of the monthly calendar than my current Toronto rep theatre, as much as I love it. All the prices are pretty rep theatre standard. If you're in downtown Kingston with a couple of hours to spare, this is a wonderful space to catch a movie in!

Best theatre in downtown Kingston (well, now it's the only movie theatre, but that's besides the…read morepoint). I love this place because the staff are awesome, the movie selection is always creative and a curation of things worth watching and the vibe of the place is homey. There are two screens and normally two or three options on at a time. On Wednesday nights there is normally a throwback to something classic and depending on the time of year, they do special screenings to fit a theme (Halloween, Holidays, etc). Pricing is very affordable, and if you are a student, you can get a discount. Make sure to have cash; they don't do debit/credit.

I'll be honest... my expectations for a food festival in Kingston really weren't that high…read more I was visiting the family and my mom had a printout of the map from the website. I looked it over, realized that half of the restaurants were chains (Coldstone, Pita Pit, Pizza Pizza, Dairy Queen, etc) and decided it would be worth attending for a laugh or two. How wrong I was.... Yes, the chains were chainy. However, the local restaurants all featured amazing menus by very talented chefs. My biggest surprise came from the Garrison Kingston culinary team. For $3, I was treated to an amazing plate of food with a relatively large portion of pork/chicken tenderloin, chipotle & candied beet coulis, fruit salsa, a potato croquette, and an unexpected but delicious shot glass of coconut cream pie. Other standouts included the tiny Chorizo sausage with pineapple salsa from Farm Boy, all of the various drinks offered by King Street Sizzle, and the Silly Yak pastries. They closed down a portion of Ontario Street to have lots of activities for the kids, too. My little one enjoyed the bouncy castles, and a personal tour of a fire truck by a real firefighter. Oh, and face painting too (she decided to be a "princess monster" and the very talented artist made it happen). I hope that I find myself back in Kingston to catch next year's Taste of Kingston!

Make an overnight of it and do a yarn crawl! If you live closer to them than I do, they offer a Knitting Club which meets up at the shop every Wednesday afternoon from 4 - 6 p.m. This is such a good idea; knitting is such a tactile "sport" that you can touch and feel the yarn to make your best choice, then sit and knit it for a bit to get a feel for it. Us knitters just want to sit down and dig into a project especially once we have chosen the yarn! It would be so nice to have all day every day to sit and knit and create wonderful items by hand - this makes me a little envious of yarn shop owners! Sitting in a shop to knit with other knitters is very inspiring - you learn a lot watching them, and often want to try their projects as well. Knitters are a very helpful group. The owner - Linda - is very friendly, so don't be afraid to talk to her. You'll need to plan to spend some time here, along with your money :-) I specifically like her shop for the wonderfully array of unusual yarns she supplies. I got a gorgeous beaded turquoise yarn from them, and can hardly wait to knit it up!
