"The Basilica of St. John the Baptist is the metropolitan cathedral of the Roman Catholic Church of St. John’s Newfoundland and the mother church and symbol of Roman Catholicism in the province. When the completed church opened its doors in 1855 it was the largest building project in Newfoundland history. At the time, it was the largest church building in North America and remains the second largest in Canada."

Where to find cheap drinks and eats in downtown St. John's every night of the week
"Greensleeves is an Irish pub with a surprising number of beers on tap, and their Happy Hour is 4-6PM everyday. There’s a really excellent martini bar upstairs called Loose Tie as well. It doesn’t have drink specials as far as I know, but it’s a good place to run to when your life is falling apart."

Best St. John's Restaurants 2018
"Soul Azteka is at the bottom of my street and is the place for tacos in St. John’s. I’ve never felt better than when I’m letting the juice of an al pastor taco dribble down my face, sampling from the compendium of classic Mexican tacos found on the menu like Barbacoa and carnitas. Enchiladas, mole and piles of rice and beans are devoured on the regular at Soul Azteka."
