Wow, what a spot!

I hadn't been there in....probably 3-TEN years. Boy has it ever changed.

Upscale., clean, fancy, Crisp. Extremely impressed! Their Indian restaurant in the food court makes quite possibly some of thee best Gulab Jaamuns in Ottawa. Yes, I know. Shocking!

Simons is a great spot, very earthy, very eco-friendly’ish. Our youngest had a great time in their change room. Wallpaper was this exotic bird-centric theme, so we sat there naming as many as we could haha. Nordstroms is just an adults playground. Gotta love their shoe-shine bench. @setell …Jimmy Choo bedazzled shoes?

As though we didn’t clean house enough over Boxing week, the fambam hit up Old Navy and used up their $30OFF$75 purchase coupons, on already liquidated deep discount leftovers from Boxing Week. How nuts. $0.97 pants,shirts/sweaters for the kids anybody?

Custom tailor shops for suits…IN the mall?? Such an interesting demographic they’ve restructured Rideau to…long gone are the days of people getting ‘rolled’ for ‘Raiders’ apparel on the front steps haha. Ok I dated myself.

My only downer is Harry Rosen and those $70-$90 socks @rupture. Beautiful.

As the MeroVingian would say, it’s like wiping your ass with silk. chuckles.@Gee

I honestly can’t say enough about it. The only crappy part - paid parking. RFD Voucher perhaps for the next time? smirk.

Anyhoo, just a shout out to Rideau.
