Hidden Local Gems?
Yes! I’ve been on the hunt for cool under-the-radar spots too — love supporting the little guys. I recently found this Local Business Directory and it’s been a great resource. It’s basically a big directory of businesses in the region, including a lot of those "hidden gem" types that don’t show up on mainstream apps. I’ve found an amazing bakery, a home-run pottery studio, and even a local beekeeper through there. It feels more community-based, which I love. If you're into discovering places you’d never find through typical searches, it’s definitely worth checking out. It’s made my weekend outings a lot more interesting!
Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for. I love finding little places off the radar, and Eastern Ontario Local looks like it’s full of them. Thanks so much for the suggestion — I’m already browsing through and bookmarking a few places to visit.
