We spoke to the owner recently at her popular chip wagon in Orono off the 115, and she mentioned she is looking at expanding her business—perhaps to Peterborough and the Kawarthas.

When you walk about vibrant downtown Peterborough and East City, you likely always seem to spot a new shop, a new place to eat, or places that have relocated to another part of downtown. Here's a glimpse of recent changes...
Saying goodbye to 38º restaurant means welcoming Nicolini's back after a hiatus away from downtown.
Hobart's Steakhouse is now calling Hunter Street home after a complete renovation to the building which was once occupied by Nicolini's. Across the road from Hobart's is currently the home of Fab Collectables & Gifts (see below), which is now on the move and has a 30% off sale in effect. No mention of where their new location might be.
As we previously mentioned in a post, Circus has now opened its second location at 382 George Street to accompany their already existing location on Aylmer Street. Circus replaces Glow Maternity, which has relocated to 188 Hunter Street.
Enticing Cakes will be moving across the road from their current spot to help expand and grow their bake shop. Also in East City is the recent addition of the already ever popular Ashburnham Ale House.
Shots (above) has recently opened in the old Splice location at 379 George Street.
Goddard's Flippin' Burgers will be opening soon beside the Galaxy Cinemas where Johnny Eh's were previously located, and joining the increasing competition of the perfect burger downtown. Goddard's also has a location in Bancroft at 181 Hastings Street North (see below).

If you had the chance today to stop by the Peterborough Downtown Farmers' Market, they were hosting their annual Strawberry Festival. Strawberries were everywhere and in everything—lemonade, jam, baked goods, etc! Also, snap peas continue and the first sight of raspberries could also be seen!

PTBOCanada file photoDishcrawl, which strives to bring people and communities together over food and has already held events in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver in Canada, is now entering the Peterborough food scene in June.
Dishcrawl takes food lovers on a gourmet tour to four distinctive restaurants in one night. It's similar to the concept of a pub crawl—but more delicious.
"It’s a great way to engage in our community, celebrate local eats and venture outside the culinary box," says Dishcrawl Peterborough Ambassador Hillary Flood in a release.
Dishcrawl makes its debut in Peterborough on June 4th, with the mission to give folks a reason to get out of the house and experience local culinary talent. Reservations are $60 per person
Participating restaurants are kept secret until two days before the event, at which time the first location is revealed to ticket holders.
To purchase tickets or for more information about Peterborough’s upcoming Dishcrawls, visit dishcrawl.com, follow @Dishcrawlpeterb on Twitter or email hillaryf@dishcrawl.com.

Originally a laundromat on Hunter Street East, the building next to the East City Foodland is under renovations and will become a pub/café called the Ashburnham Ale House. Expected to open within a month, it is the new location of the rebranded Ritz Deli North.
