Yesterday's snow stomping shut down literally and figuratively everything in Halifax, forcing us all indoors like the wintery mole people we've accepted ourselves to be. Thankfully, the sun is shining this Thursday and doors are open again around the city. We've collected just a small list of the many bold businesses around town happy to see your smiling faces. It's still treacherous getting around, but if you have to go out it's nice to know some friendly Halifax haunts are waiting to greet you.
@TwitCoast Black Buffalo will be open for noon. After shovelling, of course...
