Hi Keanin. Welcome to Hamilton. I'm an expat Torontonian who was barfed out of the corporatocracy. I've been here for a few years, and have found Hamilton to be a great place to live, but with a collective and odd lack of self esteem.

I learned a lot about Hamilton by geocaching around it. I found out about tons of cool spots in town and just outside of it. If you have a gps, it might be worth considering.

The Harbour Diner is one of my favourite restaurants. They have good, hearty, and affordable food and it's very unpretentious. The Bread and Roses Cafe in the Skydragon makes the best veggie burger in town. Possibly in Ontario. If you ever go out to Waterdown, the Jitterbug Cafe on Main St offers a nice place to chill out and grab a decent salad or sandwich. There is a killer burrito place on Locke Street that is about the size of a walk in closet. For strolling around, window browsing, Locke Street or Ottawa Street or James Street are where its at.

Speaking of James St N, there is an Art Crawl on the second Friday of every month. It's always different, and it's very unpretentious and amusing. It starts at 7pm and it's free.

I'm sorry, I don't know where anything cool is on the Mountain. I don't go up there much.
