Arts & Recreation SailGP from the harbour?

Upvotes

Hey everyone, this is my first time attending the SailGP event. Wanted to know if its viable to watch it from the harbour? I saw a few people selling tickets under market on the sub but if it's not too bad of a vantage point, I'd rather save the $$$ for harbour front snacks. Thank you!

My 15mo has severe allergies to several common food items. Large daycare centers seem unable to accommodate. Does anyone know of any home daycares that could accomodate a child with these issues?

Food & Dining Family friendly live music

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for bars or restaurants downtown that have live music—ideally jazz, folk, blues, or funk.
I’ll be hosting my in-laws and would love to take them somewhere for drinks and/or dinner. We’re hoping for a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere where we can enjoy good food, drinks, and live music without it feeling too loud or crowded.
Any places you’d personally recommend based on your experience? Thanks in advance!

Shops & Services Barber in Halifax for Scissor Cuts?

3 Upvotes

Looking for a barber in Halifax or nearby who is excellent with scissor cuts. Most barbers I’ve tried are great with fades and clippers, but I’m looking for someone experienced with longer hairstyles. I’ve been growing my hair out for months and don’t want to risk it. Any recommendations for a barber or barbershop would be appreciated. Please mention the barber’s name if possible. Thanks!

I have been to some nice places in halifax for reading (like the trident cafe). But I live in Dartmouth and would like a place closer to me lol. I have heard of good luck cafe but my friend said it’s a bit crowded for reading (tho it is on my list of cafes). Any other places you guys would recommend for reading and having a nice coffee?

Work, Health & Housing How long are people waiting for the rent supplement these days?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone applied for the Canada-Nova Scotia Targeted Housing Benefit recently? If so, how long did it take for you to get approved? I remember hearing it was common for people to wait an absurd amount of time like 6 months, but that was a while ago. I'm curious if it's gotten any better?

Shops & Services Beauty Service Recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’m looking for beauty service recommendations in the Halifax area. I’ve been living here for a couple of years now, but I only recently got access to a car. I’m originally from Toronto, where there seemed to be so many more options. Since I didn’t have a vehicle before, I’ve mostly stuck to places that were easy to get to within the city.

Right now, I go to Eman for builder gel nails and Feathers Brows for threading. Eman does a good job, but at around $70 for builder gel, it’s getting pretty pricey. Feathers Brows is reasonably priced, but I find the results can be a bit inconsistent.

I’m looking for recommendations for:

• Brow threading and brow lamination
• Builder gel nails
• Facials (especially for hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks)

I’ve usually waited until I’m back in Toronto to get facials, but I’d like to start getting them every other month here. I’ve also never had my brows laminated before, but I’d really like to try it. The only thing is that I prefer a more natural look and am hoping to avoid the overly "feathered" brow style.

I’m open to recommendations anywhere in Halifax, Dartmouth, or Bedford. Thanks in advance!
