OT: Moving to Ottawa

[CalgarySnow]

as it says, I’m moving in September, Kanata to be precise, to be upfront I’m a Habs fan but don’t hold it against me as we both seem to be bottom of every survey right now, any advice on areas near transit, restaurants etc?

I used to live in Kanata, so I know it pretty well. There’s lot of restaurants in the Kanata centrum. I’m not sure how many grocery stores are there now, but I’m sure you’ll be fine in that department. What part of Kanata are you moving to? If you’re commuting downtown for work you can do the park and ride at Eagleson or Terry Fox.

Kanata bus service is frustrating away from the transit corridor (417). Will you be working or studying in the city? If you are a 9-5er, you might be fine with the local routes that bring you to the corridor. If you like to have any control over when you leave and come home, get a place near Centrum or Eagleson park & ride.

Bridgehead coffee

Supply and Demand dinners

Pink Fuzz beer

It’s okay to boo Dany Heatley but we’re over Alexie Yashin.

It ain't 2013 anymore. Bridgehead and Pink Fuzz have been surpassed and Heatley is old news. It's now non-chain coffee, Small Pony beer and booing Eugene Melnyk.

Luckily you've decided to move to Kanata. It's easily the best part of the city.

Pump the brakes there, Super Chief. While the west is clearly best in Ottawa I don't think i'd praise Kanata as the best in the west. Their Costco doesn't even have a gas station and none of their breweries makes a decent IPA.

Have a look at Reddit Ottawa. Lots of threads there from people moving to Ottawa.

And yes, Kanats sucks, old Nepean is the place to live.

You should move to Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver where the men aren't henpecked. If I could I would but my wife won't let me.

This might be my favourite beer right now.

Westboro or go home!

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Go Hull?!

 

[MXD]

Last time I checked Untapped, there was two Ottawa area breweries in the Canadian Top-5.

Westboro or go home!

Has a real fake gross vibe. Full of people I don’t want to see. So beware, you might feel the same.

 

[Engineer]

ok

 

[MXD]

Small Pony Barrel Works is #4, don’t see any others rated top 10 in the region

Look again.
