I'm trying to shoot some local dishes the way they actually look here, not the way Portland food stylists think they should look. The golden hour light around Signal Hill and Battery Road is unreal for landscapes, but I'm struggling with restaurant interiors. The darker pubs and heritage spots have so much character but my shots are coming out flat or too yellow. Anyone found a lunch spot with great natural window light that still feels like real Newfoundland? Or a dinner place that doesn't blast everything with overhead LEDs? I'm also curious about shooting outdoors with actual weather happening. Tried to grab a shot of fish and chips in the mist last week and it was a disaster. Wondering if there's a covered porch or sheltered spot somewhere that still has that harbour vibe without destroying my gear. Bonus if they serve something worth photographing. Not looking to stage anything fake, just want the food to look as good as it tastes.

Not actively seeking right now but will start in future. As an outsider to St John's, would like to have a general idea about how it's like to live in this neighborhood. What's the average rent like?

Im 18f and love reading and would love a community or a reading buddy but unsure where to start! I like classics and literary and contemporary fiction. Would also love to exchange storygraphs or goodreads with ppl😁

I am coming into St. John's for work and decided to extend my trip for the weekend to hit up George st!

I got a room at the Murray Premises hotel for $122 a night. I'm wondering if this is a good enough hotel to crash after a night of drinking but I also like to sleep with a tv on so don't want really thin walls (also other reasons there 😉) should I switch to a more expensive hotel??

This was a dumb move, but I put my feet on the edge of a fire pit while a fire was burning and slightly melted the sole of one of my boots. Is there a reputable place in town that can replace the sole? They could use a little refreshing too.

Thanks!

In town for work and have the itch to play some MTG EDH/commander.

Any recommendations for stores that have open play on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday nights?

Maybe we could pool our resources, ceate a study group or accountability group?

Or just vent lol...

Anyone in the city that can repair Bosch dishwashers?

Hi ; Does anyone know of a good chimney sweep in the St. John's area?

Hi! 31F visiting from the U.S. next week and decided to get a ticket to the After Dark event at O'Brien Farm. I'm staying downtown and planning to take rideshare or bus. Just wanted to see if anyone else is heading to the event 10/22 at 7 p.m. and might want to meet up or hang out.

Also, I collect snow globes and I've looked through photos of possibly every souvenir shop around town on Google Maps and do not see any that carries them. Anyone have a lead? I'm fine with any size.

Hi all -

As title says, is there a place in the area where one could acquire liverwurst? I saw them in Sobey’s & Walmart months ago but recently I’ve asked around and those particular stores haven’t been carrying it. I understand that the little cans exist, but they’re a bit pricey for the amount of liverwurst I’m looking to get. I’m looking more for ones that are sold like the picture attached (in an even larger quantity if possible).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

Where is the best place to get screeched in when you have someone with social anxiety/super shy with you? Somewhere that is a bit more chill and won’t attract the attention of the entire bar/pub maybe?

Willing to drive a couple hours out of town! We’ve both been here for 11 years and still haven’t been screeched in😳

Thanks!! ☺️

I’ve been looking forward to going to see this since the first clip dropped and finally thought, oh I bet I can buy my tickets in advance! But it isn’t listed as showing here, the closest to us is in Halifax. I know it’s probably more a niche market and we are so small but I am actually so sad! Can you request that the theatre brings movies here? Hahah though I assume it’s related to their distributer or whatever. Anyways just felt like half ranting-half hoping someone can tell me I am mistaken 👀

Either weed store open in the St. John’s metro today?

Has anyone in the metro area hired EPS Company Home Renovation (Shahram Taheri) for any work? Looking at having some renovation work done and wanted to see if anyone has firsthand experience with their reliability and quality of work. Thanks!"

Might be a long shot but does anyone know if there's anywhere in town to buy something like this? My dad lost his Rx aids, and is on a wait list to get examined and have them replaced.

Google says Best Buy and Walmart might carry them but I'm only seeing online stock, not in store, and two weeks for delivery from Amazon. Hoping to pick up a cheap temporary replacement asap to prevent Mudder from going nuts 😅

I am looking for this man he is my father, possibly Stephenville area. Any info would be of great help.

Anyone have any recommendations on how or where to find a good house cleaner for regular house-cleaning services (e.g., once every week or two weeks)?

Here for the Corpse Bride showing and noticed Beetlejuice and The Nightmare before Christmas are also on the schedule this month. Beautiful theatre worth checking out.

I tried doing my own research but everything seems to be directed to summer.

My wife, my daughter (f23) and myself are going to St. John’s the last week of October. We’ve been before in the summer and loved it but looking forward to some recommendations of what to do in October in and around St John’s. I’m originally from Cape Breton so I’m assuming it will be cold.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it it.

Looking for someone who does LVP flooring well (over existing hardwood) on the Avalon. Have been in contact with two different individuals who have actually visited my home, but when it comes to getting an estimate, they are MIA.
