Default Kingston - food & things to do?

Hi all,

We'll be in Kingston Ontario for a few days in early November. Hoping some of you can suggest places for us to see and restaurants to try.

For food, we love Indian and Caribbean (Jamaican) food. Some things we like are history, architecture, art, and light hiking - not so much into sports or shopping. We also like quirky, local flavor kind of places for food or activities.

Thanks for any suggestions!

There are a lot of things to do in Kingston for a few days and one of my favorite places to visit. Best if you stay downtown by the water where most of these are located and within walking distance of each other.

The Grand Theatre — Home Page — Kingston, Ontario, Canada -The Grand Theatre

Fort Henry - Kingston, Ontario, Canada -Old Fort Henry where they have a changing of the guard by cadets, various activities, and a museum with a WWII engima machine. You can walk across the bridge or along the canal afterwards. You can start here and go west in this order:

Wolfe Island Business and Tourism Association -The Wolf Island car ferry a 20 minute ride each way.

City Hall, the farmers market, and the tourism booth are all in this same general location as well as several cute stores and restaurants. There's a marina and art galleries and the Muni towers and Henry Gibbons bed & breakfast ship which was formerly an ice breaker are further down along the water. I'm not sure if they have the tourist trolley operating in Nov from the tourism center. There is also the 1000Islands tour boats for fall foliage if you have time, or nearby Queens College.

I'm not familiar with the Indian or Jamacian restaurants but would recommend the Pilot House for a seafood/pub atmosphere. There's a wonderful ice cream place which is recognizeable by the lines. Chez Piggy and Panchenco are also worth consideration in the food category, all are in this same area within a block or two back from the harborfront.

Fort Henry is highly recommended for the history buff as is the free tour of Kingston's City Hall
