This inner-city park is a 30-minute walk from my place. You could grab a sandwich and sit by the Bow River, go for a run on the paved path, or throw around a Frisbee. The Calgary Folk Music Festival is held here every year in August. The River Cafe is a culinary treat if you want to spend some money to taste delicious, local Canadian dishes.

This modern, well-lit pathway is a gem. Great for walking, jogging and biking, you get a breath of fresh air while remaining in the heart of the city. This path will take you through several different areas in Calgary, and is awesome if you want a stroll and sight-see without much effort. Simply walk northbound down 11th Street, and you'll get there when you can't walk any further: the Bow River is stopping you!

A stately inner-city park with formal gardens. The fountains are lit in the evenings, which makes for a pretty sight. Good for some time out and conversation. Food trucks frequent the 12th Avenue side of the park during weekday lunchtimes to service the business crowd.

This local Calgary chain has 4 locations, but the original 17th Avenue location is still my favorite because of the windows and the smaller floor plan. Long, communal tables make it a good place to meet new people and to gather with friends for a late breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They carry a curated selection of craft beers from small North American brewers. This location also boasts a lively, sun-drenched patio in the warmer seasons. My favorite item on the menu is their burger with the Caesar salad; delicious! Brunch is decent here, too. I enjoy beers from Philips Brewery, Last Best, and Deschutes.

This is probably Calgary's most popular artisan pizza place. This long, narrow space is always packed with Calgarians sipping wine while munching on delicious pies. They don't take reservations, but you can leave your name and number when you get to the door and they will call you when your table is ready. They display local artists' work on their walls, so there's always something new and funky to look at. They also play audio-books (like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) in the bathrooms, which is strangely charming.

I would get a coffee from the Frotello Roastery kiosk, and that got me hooked on quality black coffee. The Cherry Pit is a great place to get produce, and Simple Simon pies are excellent for a quick, delicious meal. I love the Soup and Stock Company's soups, they are really delicious. The food court has many different options to choose from if you want a bite. Open Thursday-Sunday, go when the market opens at 9am if you can, it gets busy from 12-3 and then cools down again before the market closes at 5pm daily.
