We know you are compelled to stand by your city but sometimes, the
Calgary-Edmonton rivalry has to be put aside, especially when its in the
name of shopping. Just under 300 km away, an Edmonton road trip is a
must this time of year. Make small chat about the Oilers with the locals
and youll fit right in.
Stay
Located in Old Strathcona, Mettera,
a modern boutique hotel at the heart of the Whyte Avenue action,
combines style and comfort. Metterra, 10454 82nd Ave., Edmonton,
780-465-8150, www.mettera.com
Eat
With one of the largest wine lists in Edmonton
and mouthwatering dishes to pair with your Shiraz (we tend to do it
backwards), Murrietas
is perfect for a romantic dinner or a girls night out. Its just a shame
we cant try anything new because the Tiger Prawn Tagliatelle with red
Thai curry and coconut cream ($17.87) is always calling our name.

Shop
Yes, we know youre not 12 but trust us, a trip
to West Edmonton Mall is mandatory, even if youre not planning on taking
a dip at the water park. Stock up at the newly opened Bath and Body
Works, pick up T-shirts with witty logos for your man at Urban
Outfitters and a little something for yourself at Calvin Klein. Plan for
a return trip this spring for the opening of the first Canadian
Anthropologie.
