Where’s your favourite place in St.John’s, NL to grab a coffee?
Definitely the Rocket Bakery in downtown St. John’s. It’s this place on Water St and they have an amazing bakery also. I liked to walk there, grab my coffee and then go sit by the sea.
Where’s your favourite place in St.John’s, NL to grab a pint?
Blue - I like the big windows looking out onto Water St.
Where’s your favourite place to shop in St.John’s, NL?
I love Twisted Sister - it has fun clothing, shoes from Shellys & Hunter Rain boots which one needs in St.John’s! My favourite store would have to be HOME which is this cute little place with lovely things for the home (obviously) - I have little silver bird salt & pepper shakers from there.
Where in St.John’s, NL would we stand to see your favourite view
Signal Hill. It never gets old for me. Every time I visit, we always do the walk. I love it because living in Toronto you don’t have that kind of space.
Name 3 things we’ve gotta do when we visit St.John’s, NL:
1. Signal Hill - but properly, walk up and down it. Not drive.
2. Stay a night at Ryan Mansion - it’s beautiful
3. Go to Bistro Sofia - they have the best Caesar salad in the world.
What makes the St.John’s, NL such a special place for you?
St.John’s was my first acting gig outside of Ontario. It was so exciting to get to fly somewhere for work and St.John’s is such a beautiful place.
I fell in love immediately because it reminded me of the UK. The people, the scenery.
It has become a second home for me since then because as you know Mark lives there half the year.
I’m really happy that I get to visit it so often!
