Dave and I are a little over a month into our new home of Winnipeg and I'm excited to report that we couldn't have found a lovelier part of the city to live in.
Our home is in Osborne Village and, as Winnipeg Tourism put it..."Boho and artsy meet kitsch and cool in the community of Osborne Village—recently named ‘Canada’s Greatest Neighbourhood’ by the Canadian Institute of Planners."
We live in "Canada's Greatest Neighbourhood!" Too cool.
We have bakeries, mom and pop shops, pubs, restaurants, parks, the Assiniboine River, Legislature, and events galore, all within walking distance.
Here are few places we've checked out over the past month....
Munson Park

A gorgeous little gem that hugs the river and speaks to my heart. We often go for walks in the evening and it has become a staple that we walk through it. We saw it in the summer when we came for our house-hunting trip and I fell in love with its towering trees, dazzling flowers and cozy little pathways. As summer turned to fall, it delivered an array of reds and yellows that stunned and lured you into the next season.
We just went to this neighbourhood pub the other night. Awesome space with incredible woodwork inside, the friendliest bartender I've ever met and just an overall awesome vibe. They have special on until 7 and Dave and I quickly realized we would be coming back much more often!
A hidden little tapas joint off the main road of Osborne. We celebrated our anniversary with dinner here a few weeks ago, noshing on patatas bravas, a cheese plate and some absolutely incredible fried beets. The wait was long, so if you are planning on heading over - get there early! The atmosphere is dark and cozy, perfect for long winter's nights when snow is blanketing the ground outside.
So, if you come to visit, just know there will be plenty of things and places for us to do and see!
