Secret Ottawa goes behind the scenes of the official tourist sites-Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, the National Gallery of Canada-and into the places only locals know. Detailed are the restaurants where Cabinet ministers do lunch, the bunker where John Diefenbaker planned to hide from Cold War missiles, Elvis Lives Lane, Canada's only Cordon Bleu cooking school, a bog carpeted with Arctic wildflowers, the stables where the horses of the Musical Ride learn their trade, and where to buy the cast-off tomes of the Rockcliffe elite, indulge in a poetry reading, or find landmarks brought to offbeat life by local fantasy author Charles de Lint. Secret Ottawa uncovers the passionate heart beneath the pencil-pushing facade. Explored are outlet shops for lingerie and candles, dim wine cellars awash in live jazz, and the best park benches for moonlit romance.
