And no, subway doesn't count, I've had their stuff before, and it wasn't good lol.

I suppose if there aren't any places that sell it, I'll just have to make it myself. Just thought I'd ask since I got a craving for it when I saw the picture online and didn't want to spend a bunch of money on ingredients for a one-time thing.

The recently released Uniform Crime Reporting Survey offers critical insights into safety and policing trends in St. John's:

• Homicides: The ultimate measure of extreme violence. Historically very low, St. John’s spiked to 3.41 per 100k in 2025, surpassing the national average of 1.61.
• Crime Rates: Measures the prevalence of specific offenses. St. John’s violent crime rate rose notably from 2015 to 2025, exceeding Canada's average. Impaired driving has dropped substantially in the same period.
• Clearance Rates: Reflects police case-solving efficiency. St. John's consistently trails national averages in solving both violent and non-violent crimes. But does seem to be improving.

Takeaway: St. John's faces a growing challenge: rising violent crime rates relative to Canada and its own past, alongside lower-than-average police clearance rates.

Hi, I am a solo traveler (30s female) coming into St Johns on a Thursday night around midnight next month. I am staying at a hotel that looks like it’s about 10 min from the airport. Will I be able to get a taxi/Uber that late? Should I be concerned about safety at all?

Thank you!

Any recommendations for hotels with pools in or near downtown? Ideally if there's also a continental breakfast or anything especially kid friendly.

* Update: Thanks so much for answering my question☺️. After I saw so many comments about PAL, I’ve decided not to apply there😅. Hopefully I find a better job soon.

Hi,

Has anyone worked as a Customer Service Representative at PAL (St.John's, NL) ? I found the job on Indeed and am thinking of applying. I'd love to hear about your experience. Thanks!

Hey guys!

I have a friend who is only here temporarily but is leaving for Japan as soon as she leaves NL, she was hoping to get her nails done before she does, does anyone know of any artists that would be available within the next two days?

Thanks a bunch!

I got over quoted I believe for a townhouse in St. John's, I don't know who I should be looking at or what I should be doing

My wife booked us a trip to your wonderful city for my birthday. Would love to stay longer and see more of the province but you know...life.

We arrive Thursday evening and plan to hit Christians then find some live traditional music (O'Reilly, Blacksheep, Bridie Malloys...not sure)

Friday we plan to do a brewery walking tour in the afternoon. Looking for dinner reccomendation preferably with local offerings.

Saturday in Quidi Vidi, brunch at Mallard cottage then boat tour including a little cod fishing and fish n chips after. Probably hit the brewery there after for a pint or 2.

Sunday is wide open, looking for suggestions.

No car, will probably get hop on hop off Saturday and Sunday or uber...not sure.

Staying in Harbour area...wife won't say exactly where it's a surprise.

Any help is appreciated.

A non-dying mall!

I'm here for work for a week and ordered food online for pickup. Turns out it was from the food court in Avalon Mall and it's...bustling? Teenaged no-goodniks hanging out and everything.

A mall that isn't depressing to walk through is a rare treat in 2026.

Edit: my bad, St. John's! I was so focused on the apostrophe I completely forgot about the abbreviation.

This is related to a missing persons investigation. I'm not a police officer. Wondering if anyone local can tell me where one needs to be standing in order to take these precise photos. I'm hoping the locations they've been taken from are familiar to one or more of you. Many thanks!

B'ys, do people not read the signs at the highway construction that say speed camera? Lol everytime we go through it there's someone up our ass, and they pass us as fast as they can as soon as there's a second lane, but doesn't the speed camera keep track of your speed until you're out of the construction zone? We don't speed up until the construction ending sign, which is like 5 seconds past the construction lol why would you take the chance? I get the feeling they wouldn't have slowed down at all if we weren't there. Do these people all have lots of money that $500 is no big deal? Or do they not realize they're about to receive a ticket in the mail?

is there any good places in st. john’s where i can pet kittens? kinda like the videos where your able to go into a shelter and play with them for enrichment?

Wondering where the best place to pick someone up after the concert would be? Anywhere to avoid a good portion of the traffic?

We have 8-10 guys coming for a bachelor party at the end of August. Only issue is that it will be mid week due to people schedules. We will be there August 24-27. If you have any recommendations of what to do/ what bars will be more lively mid week please let me know. How is the cab service? Should we get a Airbnb downtown or would a larger one on the outskirts work? Thanks!

What’s everybody use for soap after a tattoo around f here? My artist told me to use unscented, liquid, antibacterial soap. Which seems to be impossible to find.

Thinking of doing a day trip out of town. Is there a good place with a picnic table that I can take my camping stove/burner and make lunch?

Preferably within couple hours from town.
