Can anyone who has been to Halifax recently recommend a nice, moderately priced B/B, centrally located, near the water if possible. My husband and I will be there first week in September for four nights. Also, any sights that are "not to be missed?" Finally, great eats? (seafood, local fare, etc.) Thanks!!!! P.S. This is my first experience with this Fodor's posting system.......

Hi, Karen--try doing a Fodor's search on "Halifax" for hotels and restaurants.
I don't know of B&B's downtown, but I can recommend the Halliburton House Inn as a small, nicely appointed hotel with fabulous breakfasts and one of the best dining rooms in Halifax. They have a website which you can Google. Try also "Chianti" and don't miss lunch at the Cheapside Cafe located in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (try the "Sea Soup").
Halifax's big tourist attractions are Citadel Hill, the Marine Museum of the Atlantic, the historic properties along the waterfront, the public gardens, Pier 21, the Art gallery of Nova Scotia previously mentioned, just plain walking (old churches and graveyards, Spring Garden Road for shopping) and a remarkably cheesy casino for those who care. It's a great city, although you may want to ride out to Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenberg.
