I'm a big fan of chinatown. There's a great market at about 1042 somerset which is probably the end of chinatown that has lots of great fresh seafood, beef, pork, chicken bones, and vegetables. Lots of japanese and korean crazy shit too. Maybe go buy a bunch of Pocky Sticks? Shanghai BOy Noodle House at Somerset and Bronson is the best pho/noodle place. Yangztee and the place across the street, Chu Shing have the best Dim Sum. Maybe that's all off topic, but food seems to be what I remember most about cities. http://ottawafoodies.com don't forget to hit Hull for some poutine. The Pataterie is pretty damn good. wait, you're veggie aren't you? Ignore all my meat suggestions.
