Guidebook for Edmonton
Food Scene
Walk across the street to Edmonton's oldest (and most beloved) Chinese food restaurant. This place actually had a TV show "The Quon Dinasty" featuring the family that still runs it. Stop in for their weekend buffet and see the closest thing Edmonton has to homegrown celebrities. PRO TIP: their cocktail list is hilarious but delicious, and bottles of bubbles are only $22 (shhhh!)

Sightseeing
Edmonton has a stunning river valley running through the smack-dab middle of the city. If you've never been on a horizontal elavator before, you're in luck, as the city operates a free funicular from this location. It's a fun way to see the beautiful river valley and gaze far over South Edmonton. Did I mention it's free???
