My father’s restaurant is Devito’s Restaurant on Duckworth Street in St. John’s. Pam loves the Caesar salad. I really like his Paella — it’s very authentic, unlike some of the other attempts I’ve tasted. I also like Madeira steak (I don’t think it’s on the menu anymore, unfortunately).

Local celebrity (and famous CBC Weatherman) reviewed Devito’s last year.

The Easter Seals people have placed mermaids all over St. John’s for their Mermaids in the City project. One of them is in front of Devito’s Restaurant. There’s a steady stream of tourists walking by and taking photos (usually involving the mermaid’s body parts).

Cape Spear is the most easterly point in Canada. Newfoundlanders always call it “the most easterly point in North America” but they don’t seem to know that Greenland is usually considered part of North America.

It’s one of those “facts” that Newfoundlanders are fed from birth, and there’s no use in trying to dispute it with facts. Other Newfoundland “facts” are “John Cabot found Newfoundland” and “St. John’s is the oldest City in North America.” Both of those are false too, but don’t mention that to Newfoundlanders.

The HMCS Montreal was in St. John’s recently, armed guard and all.
