"A museum visit a day keeps the laziness away is just as true as if you were eating apples to keep the doctor away. Luckly Kingston never runs out of museums and never fails to entertain us. The Museum of Health Care may sound boring at first but the museum has a whole new world inside of it."

Captain James T. Sutherland of Kingston spearheaded the bid to bring the Hockey Hall of Fame to Kingston and was inducted into the hall in 1947 – one of the first forty members inducted into the hall during the Kingston-era. The Original Hall of Fame is proudly located in Kingston, Ontario."

Fittingly located on the second floor of the Invista Centre, The Original Hockey Hall of Fame is filled with a ton of interesting facts and artifacts. The best part is the focus on Kingston-born legends like Doug Gilmour and Jayna Hefford."

A museum for researchers and anyone wanting to learn more about the history of Kingston."

A good option for when you need new homeware, hardware or are simply looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, the RioCan Centre has plenty to offer."

"Tucked in beside a convenience store in Portsmouth, Eunice Sushi doesn’t look like much from the outside. But inside this 20-seater you’ll find some of the freshest rolls, sushi, sashimi, and tempura in town. There are a few special Korean dishes on the menu too (try the bulgogi), and a good range of veggie options."

"We were at a meeting at the Harbour Building and wanted a quick dinner before the meeting restarted. We both had the bulgogi dinner which came with miso soup,..."
