I'm off to our chilly capital for the weekend with my loveliest lady friend to spend some time with her family. I must admit I know very little about what makes Ottawa awesome, so I welcome any and all recommendations on eats & sights. Our plan is to brunch at Hintonburg Public House, drink at Union 613, drop in to see this show at the National Gallery, plus a most exciting visit to Mags & Fags (the best magazine store around, so I hear). I'm crossing my fingers for some mild weather and sunshine. (Credit: Drawing by John Cullen)
