Les Clefs d ’ Or Corner
ASK THE EXPERT !
1 . Where would you send a guest if they need to buy a cocktail dress for a lastminute event ? Or , a new dress shirt and tie ? I like to send our female guests to Holts ( pg 32 ) when they need a cocktail dress for that last-minute event . And for men , my go-to is The Helm ( thehelmclothing . com ) — great service and attire for all occasions .
2 . Where can visitors pick up unique Easter treats for their family ? My fave local chocolate place is Jacek ( pg 34 )! You can get some creative tasty ideas for Easter and maybe
even sample a few of their handcrafted chocolates .
3 . Where is the best spot in the city to have a pint on St . Patrick ’ s Day ? The best place to have a Guinness on St . Patty ’ s Day is at Edmonton ’ s oldest and most authentic Irish Pub — O ’ Byrnes ( pg 28 ) on Whyte Avenue !
4 . It ’ s Earth Day on April 22 . Where should visitors go to embrace Edmonton ’ s great outdoors ? Unplug everything electronic and head to our river valley with snowshoes or bikes and explore the great outdoors !
