I have been extremely lax in posting lately. I'll blame summer and all it's nice weather, outdoor activities (ie. non-computer activities) and just a general non-committal attitude that goes along with vacations.
While off, I've been able to take some jaunts downtown and have found myself needing some grub at odd hours of the night (or morning, depending on how you look at it). In downtown St. John's there isn't a lot of choice for late night eats but there's enough to fill you up and send you home happy. Here are some of my picks for late night culinary adventure:
Folly on Bates Hill is a chill spot for excellent coffee and gourmet pizza. They're open noon-6am and offer great desserts, veggie options and potato wedges to die for.
Celtic Hearth (300 Water St.) is not far from George St. bars but offers a relaxed sit-down pub-style atmosphere that's open 24 hrs. Staff have been nothing but friendly to me even if I just ordered a huge glass of water and some fries. Their late night pub menu is limited but offers enough to satisfy most. Try the BLT or moose burger for a satisfying meal no matter the time.
Subway on the corner of Water St. and Bishops Cove (next to George) is also open 24hrs. It's not the most glamorous place to get grub at any point of the day and in the wee hours of a night out it can be downright sketchy. But the staff are usually pretty good about all the shenanigans they have to put up with from drunken customers. And it's an easy get for a little something to fill your belly before getting a cab home at the end of the night.
In the same light as the above, there's Sal's Pizza off George and several chip wagons on the street which offer quick and often satisfying bite late night. There's also several hot dog/sausage vendors which pop up on George St., and while I won't go as far as endorse them I know plenty of people who thoroughly enjoy a 3am stop for a dog.
If you happen to be in the East end of St. John's and need some food late night, Rustler's Bar and Grill is also open 24hrs Friday night to Sunday. Their menu is quite full and offers a lot of different options from really decent wings to hot turkey dinner.
And finally if you're already home and looking for a late night greasy grub fest, call up Ches's Fish and Chips. It's cliche and it's dirty but it's so good. And they will answer the phone and deliver right to your door until at the wee hours of the morning.
So that's my list of favorite places to grab grub in St. John's for those late-nights when you just need a snack.

Picnic Places
I know the blog has taken a sojourn from discussing restaurants and the like but the weather's making me think: go outside! And a great way to enjoy out side is to do some eating! So here are my top places to have a picnic in St. John's:
Bannerman Park on Military Rd. is a great spot for a picnic. Lots of green space for a blanket a small playground and pool near by if you want some after-lunch entertainment. The front of the park is tree-covered but the closer you get to Circular Rd. the more open the space becomes. It's a hang-out for young folk and skateboarders often use the nearby Colonial Building for practice so that will either appeal to you or send you in the opposite direction...you decide.
Bowering Park is huge park in the middle of the West end of the city. The places to picnic are endless here so just take a stoll around until you find either a grassy knoll or a table. The duck pond is a favorite, walking tails, tennis courts, swimming pool and the must-see conservatory are all picnic extras.
Harbourside Park is downtown on the East end of Water St. and it has a lovely view of the narrows. Find a nice bench from which you can catch the scenery, people watch and eat your sandwich all at the same time. Warning: this is near the dreaded bubble in the harbour so the smell might be a bit much for some. The City of St. John's is doing a lunctime concert series at Harbourside Park which I really recommend you make a point of checking out! Also Shakespeare by the Sea productions is doing Romeo and Juliet here this summer so keep that in mind.
Fort Amherst is a lovely spot on the other side of the St. John's harbour. Take stroll over there and plop yourself down on one of the massive rocks or left-over guns. You'll be so near the city yet feel very far away. The museum out there also has a small tea room.
Quidi Vidi village (east end of downtown and keep going) is a great spot for a picnic. There's the lake and the many spots around it. Joggers and walkers love to go around the lake and the city has just added an outdoor gym (think adult playground) on the Pleasentville side of the lake. A social enterprise project recently started offering picnics in the area so why not save yourself some work, enjoy a wonderful meal and give back at the same time? Go a little farther to the village and you'll find some great views and lovely people. There's Quidi Vidi Battery where you can get a tour, pick berries (unofficially, of course) and take in the views of the ocean. There is also a beautiful but challenging hike from the Battery to Signal Hill and there are lots of picnic options along the way.
So there is my list...but remember there are loads more places to plop yourself down and enjoy some local food or food from home. Just get out there this weekend and start exploring.

Do you know what you're eating?
Think St. John's (and Newfoundland in general) is a barren wasteland unable to sustain even the smallest of homegrown produce or food activism? Think again!
There is a local group in St. John's called FEASt (Food Education Action St. John's). From their website, they are "a working collective of individuals and organizations taking action on local, sustainable food issues. Formed in Fall 2007, FEASt is a volunteer-run initiative affiliated to the provincial Food Security Network with almost 300 listserv members currently."
St. John's Safer Soil Project was created by Lori Heath to educate people about the problem of toxins in local soil. A 2003 study showed high lead levels in St. John's soil and this scared a lot of people off backyard gardening. The Safer Soil Project aims to educate about soil testing, growing in raised beds, and using container gardening techniques. More about the project can be found in this Scope article.
Here's more on gardening in lead-laden soil.
The Community Garden Alliance just held their AGM (June 28, 2009) where concerned individuals met to discuss local gardening needs, learn about organic growing, and enjoy some great grub. The Alliance's best-known project is the Rabbittown Community Garden which is an urban garden devoted to community-based organic growing and sharing.
Memorial University's Botanical Gardens has a huge variety of resources regarding local food growing, composting, harvesting, etc. The garden staff offer free lunchtime lectures, composting workshops, and in August there will be an edible plant hike which promises to be very educational and fun.
The Newfoundland Horticultural Society is also a wealth of information for budding gardeners. The group meets every Tuesday evening during the fall, winter and spring months at St. David's Church Hall on Elizabeth Ave. You can learn from other gardeners, take part in workshops, participate in "bring and buy" sales, and receive their newsletter. The Society's annual vegetable sale is coming up in September.
So what are you waiting for? Get involved in a community garden project or start growing your own food! For some extra encouragement, here are some links from the NL Environment Network:

Canada Day traditions
My earlier post on the Canada Day sunrise ceremony got me thinking of another Canada Day tradition: drinks on patios.
If you're not lucky enough to have a patio (or be invited somewhere that has one), here are some spots you can check out on Canada's Birthday to have a drink outside (weather permitting of course):
Sundance (Duckworth/George St.) has a large deck equipped with umbrellas for sunny days and heaters for more-frequent Newfoundland chillier days. They have drinks, food, and an excellent proximity to the downtown area and George Street.
Mexicali Rosa's (George St. West) has a small patio but provides tex-mex food, good 'ol nachos and lots of margarita's for warm sunny days. If you can't get down for Canada Day, try Margarita Mondays!
Greensleeves (George St.) also has a deck and really big, decently priced nachos if you're so inclined. Stop in for a pint and a gawk at those on a George St. stroll.
Jungle Jim's on George has a covered deck and their typical fries-laden food fare. If you want a drink go for a frozen concoction or their Normie beer.
Mustang Sally's is re-opening (yea!) and you can get a made-right-in-front-of-you wrap or stir fry and eat it outside on a table near Mile One. Again, great people-watching!
Of course, you don't have to eat and drink yourself silly to enjoy a good patio. There are a few coffee shops in the downtown area with outdoor seating and unlimited people watching opportunities. Hava Java and Coffee & Co. on Water St. are prime spots. Auntie Crae's also has outdoor seating and if you trek up farther out of the downtown core you're find Coffee Matters (Military Rd.) which has some outdoor seating and a huge following of committed customers (There's also Coffee Matters Two on Water St. and a drive-thru location in Paradise). Finally (and Canada Day sunrise ceremony related) you should try Sweet Relic (Power's Court, Signal Hill Rd.) for its coffee offerings and general lovely setting. Take your coffee to the road for the walk down after seeing the sun rise!

First light
This post isn't so much about food as it is about St. John's and Canada Day celebrations. If you're in town and not busy at 5am you really should make the trek to Signal Hill for the Canada Day sunrise celebration. Everyone should do this at least once in their lives and many make it a annual tradition. You will be amongst the first to see the sun rise in Canada.
Once the sun is up you can take an equally-traditional trek back down Signal Hill and have breakfast. What a way to start the day!

Summer drinkin'
A post by a blog I just discovered, A Wicked Scoff, has got me thinking about summer refreshment. Of the beer variety. We don't have a lot of local beer, but for a province and population as small as ours there's enough to go around.
Also a note of interest for anyone not familiar with our province: we can buy locally made beers in corner stores and gas stations as well as at provincially-run liquor stores.
India considers itself an India Pale Ale and is golden, mildly carbonated and has a grainy/straw taste. It's a favorite for young folk and hipsters downtown. Brewed by Molson, it features a portrait of a Newfoundland Dog on the label.
Other Molson beers unique to this province are Black Horse, Molson Extra, and Dominion Ale.
Quidi Vidi brewery in the village of Quidi Vidi in St. John's offers several types of beer and often experiments with limited offerings. There's QV, QV Light which are crisp and mildly hoppy. Eric's Red is the cream ale of the group and is heavier but still tasty. 1892 is a sweet amber ale for those who like a full beer. Honey Brown and Honey Brown Light are sweet and I have found only select customers like this one...but those who do like it are loyal. Quidi Vidi has recently started brewing an excellent Iceberg beer which is fresh, crisp and refreshing made from glacial water from icebergs. The downside is it's only available in a 4-bottle-pack and costs more than your average beer.
Storm also has several varieties: Irish Newfoundland Red Ale, Island Gold Ale, Coffee Porter, Raspberry Wheat Ale, Hemp Ale. These beers are pretty easy to find in St. John's restaurants (especially downtown) and stores.
Yellow Belly on Water St. offers four microbrews which you can order in their pub/restaurant or order in 1 or 2 liter bottles to take home. These are fresh tasting and cover most tastes of beer drinkers. First there's St. John's Stout, Fighting Irish (a red ale), Wexford Wheat (which they often serve with lime), and the signature Yellow Belly Pale Ale.
Labatt makes Blue Star here in the province, a nice fruity, light and hoppy offering. It also makes Jockey Club which is a stronger (though light) American style beer also popular by younger folks and die-hard fans. And though it's not from Newfoundland, you can find Alexender Keiths beer in corner stores in this provinces because it is produced and bottled by Labatt.
For more about local beer, have a look at this article.
Did I miss your favorite local brew? Let me know and I'll add it to the list.

I scream for ice cream
It's such a nice day out that I'm thinking about refreshment. Summer means ice cream and here's where you can get great cold stuff in St. John's:
Moo Moo's 88 King's Rd.
At this corner store/dairy shop fresh Newfoundland milk is made into amazing ice cream in all sorts of flavours of hard-packed yumminess. About 400 flavours have been developed in Moo Moo's basement kitchen. The most famous is Turtle Cheesecake which you can buy by the tub if you're so inclined. There's waffle cones and cups, milkshakes, soft serve and a couple new flavours every visit.
Dairy Queen Topsail Rd. and Portugal Cove Rd.
This spot is a long-time standard in ice cream and cold treats. Try the dilly bar or dipped cone. Blizzards are also great.
Auntie Crae's Water St.
This local food shop now has frozen yogurt. Yum.
Berg's Manuals, Long Pond and Mount Pearl
A bit of a drive but if you're out that way Berg's is a real treat. Ice cream, waffle cones, sundaes and probably anything else ice-cream related you'd want.
