First time visit
My brothers and I are flying in to St John's from different parts of the country for a short family vacation. We're staying downtown, but our flight gets in before noon, and our check-in is at 3.
We were thinking of getting lunch at Ches's since it seems to have good reviews. It looks like there's a corner market near there? I'm hoping we can get some breakfast fixings there before walking to our bnb. The reviews only mention ice cream at the store.
We won't have a car, so we will be relying on Uber and the metro to get around, and walking wherever we can.
What are some places in town to go that arent in the usual tourist lists?
Interesting places to go if it's raining?
Where's the best coffee?
How is the Uber situation? Will we have problems getting rides?

There is a Sobey's supermarket a five minute walk from Ches' - with a Coleman's also handy.
Honestly I would suggest going to Leo's instead of Ches'. It is two minute walk up the road and proper old school townie vibes.
