I stepped out of my hotel and into the chill of a December night in St. John’s Newfoundland. The air is sharp and alive with the salty tang of the North Atlantic ocean. Historic Water Street stretched out before me like a welcome mat; steeped in history and humming with energy.

Stepping into The Gypsy Tea Room on Water Street felt like walking into a storybook—a cozy, timeless nook tucked into the heart of St. John’s. The exposed brick walls, dim candlelight, and gentle hum of conversation created the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable evening.
