"The Middle Eastern-leaning bakery and cafe Sidewalk Citizen and famed Calgary-based coffee chain Phil & Sebastian have other locations around Calgary, but their buzziest locations are at the Simmons Building in the East Village. The building is also home to the restaurant Charbar, which runs a rooftop bar serving easy-sipping cocktails and New York-style pizza. Together, the three businesses create something greater than the sum of their parts. The whole place bustles during the warmer months of the year (especially the rooftop), so if the crowds are too heavy, take your meal to enjoy along the Bow River. [$-$$$]" - Dan Clapson
