Quidi Vidi, "What a Sight". The plantation, these days, is just a collection of artists studios. Some of the work is intense or not meant for consumption, but mostly it's folk arts for tourists - I've gotten some of my favourite t-shirts there with gorgeous designs and minimalist prints.

Afterwords, a second-hand bookstore, has some bizarrely popular musical performances. It can only hold a couple dozen people, but the number of times I get asked by someone to go to one is more than some of the pubs.

Yellowbelly is in the process of setting up a tap room farther east on Water Street. It should be a nice addition. It replaces Velma's Traditional Newfoundland Foods, which never really did well with the office crowd wanting quick lunches. Eat Clean was in the space most recently, but failed.
