INTRODUCING 101 THINGS TO DO ON PRESTON We are excited to present 101 Things to do on Preston Street. Your guide to some of the most entertaining, engaging and inspiring activities to enjoy in and around the nation's capital. As one of Ottawa's most vibrant urban neighbourhoods, Preston Street and its surrounding area offer a multitude of adventurous options. We'll be sending out new ideas each week including live entertainment, food, drink, family activities, shopping, history, recreations and so much more.
#63 COFFEE AND CONVERSATION When you need a quick coffee, you can always make one at home. But if it’s a Sunday afternoon, and you want a perfectly-prepared cup, perhaps enjoyed on an outdoor patio with friends, then Preston Street is the place to be. Studies have shown that coffee shop coffee actually tastes better: http://bit.ly/1RQUwiw! On Preston, you’ll find friendly baristas, fantastic biscotti and a place to watch the world go by as you sip and savour. Check out our many java joints here:...
#62 GET BALANCED AND BLISSFUL Preston Street has some of the most popular studios and most qualified teachers in Ottawa featuring many styles including hot, hatha, yin, power and flow yoga. Did you know that yoga offers some pretty amazing health benefits: http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/health-benefits-yoga/ so why not check out the great studios in little Italy: http://bit.ly/2bglN1A? After you’ve aligned your chakras, balance your hunger with a smoothie bowl from Ottawa’s freshest new food truck, The Blended Berry.
#14 WHERE COFFEE DREAMS COME TRUE Craving a taste of the Old World? Itching to get out of the office and find a spot that might offer some fresh inspiration? Fulfill both of these desires by visiting one of Preston Street’s numerous cafes. Grab a java and catch up on email or relax and rub shoulders with locals who enjoy the time-honoured European tradition of savouring their daily espresso, cappuccino or Americano with a biscotti while chatting with neighbours and friends. #101onPreston
