It might seem like an afterthought
This past week and this coming one have been (and are supposed to be) ridiculously warm for mid-January, and as I mentioned in my last post this is really unusual for Winnipeg, so everyone is taking advantage of it and being outside as much as possible.That being said, it was a perfect opportunity for Ty and I to wander around downtown, have some lunch, and take some pictures for some frames he wants to put up on his wall.
Totally gorgeous, I can't get over it.
Note that Ty is wearing a hoodie in the middle of winter, and I have no scarf or gloves on?!
What is this trickery?

I can't help but feel that we're going to get plunged right back into the deep-freeze in a couple of weeks, so we're definitely enjoying this while it lasts.
Part of being my boyfriend

is being made to play photograpgher and chronicler of my douchebaggery every time we go places.

Lucky souls!
We hit up a lovely place called Eat! Bistro for lunch; I used to go there all the time with Victoria when she lived here.
I know I have a few Winnipeg readers, and if you haven't checked this place out definitely make a point to! It's on Garry St, right across from where Sonar used to be (or I guess still is? The sign is still there but it's not open)

Anyway there's a really charming used bookstore attached to the bistro as well, so it's like one-stop shopping for cuteness!
I'm so in love with the décor here.
And the lighting! The colors!
Perfs.
That outfit is such win; I'll do a Style Post update with it soon.
Ty's lunch: the Lunch special, a salmon and asparagus frittata, garden salad and delicious bread.
The frittata was good (obvs we did sharesies) but a little too fishy for me.
Mine: Sweet chili chicken with wonton crackers and cucumber.
This was a totally amazing lunch, ridiculous foodgasm that I highly reccomend.
The actual reason for our adventure: to take pictures of interesting mouldings or bulidings in the downtown area.
Despite being pretty slummy in a lot of places, the 'Peg does have some really interesting architecture and some very unique places, I'll definitely give it that.
Speaking of slummy...
Fun fact: this "bar" is right across the street from the Golden Room, which used to be the Gentleman's Club (they're both strip joints), and one time while I was walking right in front of this doorway a guy having a smoke outside the Gentleman's Club offered me a job as a stripper there.
This is basically what Ty does all day when we go places; stands around and talks to me while I climb things and take stupid pictures.

In fact since Eat! is within walking distance I'm considering going and getting some right now...
We also got some delicious cupcakes as desert!
Kraut King: one of the coolest-looking ghetto restaurants I've ever seen!
It's actually located between the In and Out ramps of a parkade, and is just one big circular booth with stools around it. So neat!
It has weird hours so that's why we didn't go, but we're definitely going back to check it out and have some delicious schnitzel!

Fantastic!
Just to clarify, I said no.
I have a fascination with fire escapes, I don't know why.

Love these tunnels!
Then Ty took me to the best toy store ever: Toad Hall Toys!Possibly one of the coolest places I've ever been, it reminded me of one I visited in England when I was a little girl.
Obviously I honed in on the most wholesome stuff in the place.
Can't take me nowheres.
It's unfortunate that you guys missed out on the moment where I found the toy fish that had teeth and proceeded to put it against Ty and say "chomp... chomp... chomp..."
It was definitely a shining, IQ-defining moment in my life.
PS: I was looking for "fish with teeth" to name the fish I mentioned, and found this instead? Wtf?!?!
Speaking of fish!
One of my favorite fish are the plecostomus! I was excited.
(Is it sad that I knew how to spell that?)
A gorgeous old bench in a beautiful neighbourhod... and a king can.
How "Winnipeg"!
Ty looks unimpressed, I think he lost some respect for me after the "Chomping Fish Incident".
Our friend Moarley is always looking for deece Mexican, so here's to remembering: Don Pedro's on Market St!
I totally want to check this place out, their menu has shrimp cooked with roasted peppers and Jose Cuervo Sauce!!
I'm rad. 
Then we climbed to the top of a parkade while reciting the scene with Patrick Stewart on Extras
"Oy! You can't ride you bike on the grass!"
It was lonely windy at the top.
This is the best picture ever and I love it.
What a day!
It's officially 1:45pm and I'm starving, this post made me hungry!
What should I go get for lunch?
