“WINNIPEG - WE WERE BORN H HANNAH SUSK Congress 2019 is the perfect excuse! Maybe you think Winnipeg is just the city that your mom’s side of the family is from or the center of Canada that brags about -50 temperatures, but this sprawling city is so much more than that! Here are 6 neat-o reasons to check out The Peg. Get Crafty Visiting Microbreweries When it comes to craft beer, Winnipeg has it happening. Plan a visit to the trendy taprooms of Little Brown Jug, Barn Hammer Brewing, Torque Brewing Co. or Nonsuch Brewing Co. to taste their brews. If you’re big into the beer scene, hop on the Winnipeg Trolley for the Ale Trails tour or book a Winnipeg Tasting Tour to ‘explore Winnipeg… one drink at a time’! In a crunch for time? No problem! Visit The Commons in the Forks Market where you can choose your own flight to satisfy your palette. Wander and Wonder at the Galleries and Museums Take a relaxing walk through Winnipeg Art Gallery (or as locals call it, ‘the WAG’) by checking out the current exhibit on display or experience the life-size dioramas at the Manitoba Museum. The unique exterior of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights will create curiosity about the interior. Stroll up the ramps and through the galleries to finish in the Garden of Contemplation to reflect on the moving experience. Eat Your Way Through Winnipeg’s Food Chain Options for food in Winnipeg are far from stale. Brunch to your heart’s content at Clementine, Miss Brown’s or Stella’s. These spots offer up mouth-watering breakfast options including unique spins on eggs benedict and grilled cinnamon buns. Visit King + Bannatyne for not -your-elementary-school-lunch sandwiches, Chosabi for sushi burritos and Shawarma Khan for the freshest middle eastern cuisine. Dinner with a view? Mon Ami Louis is a restaurant built on a bridge, overlooking the Red River. Even if you feel full, there’s always a little room for dessert. Stop by Chaeben Ice Cream to try a flight of ice cream flavours made from scratch… They even once had a ‘borsch’ flavoured ice cream!
