“The zeal for local food and drink is intense in Saint John. A little more than an hour’s drive south of Fredericton, Saint John has more than 85 bars and restaurants in a Victorian-era historic centre. Breweries are strewn around the area making a pub crawl easy and enticing, while talented chefs take advantage of the Bay of Fundy’s seafood riches to serve up decadent items in restaurants filled with character and heritage,” Vacay.ca Managing Editor Adrian Brijbassi wrote.
“It’s also a street photographer’s dream thanks to the antiquated beauty of its architecture that blends with contemporary graffiti projects sponsored by the city’s tourism board.”
Visitors should expect to want to stay longer than planned as Saint John will “tempt you to extend your stay.”
