Café et bistro populaire, Slocum and Ferris est l'une des plus anciennes entreprises issues du domaine agroalimentaire au Canada. Elle fut fondée en 1895 par George W. Slocum et John E. Ferris, qui avaient quitté le comté Queens, au Nouveau-Brunswick, afin de travailler en tant que marchands alimentaires à Saint John. Loyalistes agricoles, la famille Ferris provenait de New York et les Slocum de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Les associés avaient tissé des liens avec les fermiers de la vallée de la rivière Saint John, qui faisaient parvenir des produits en aval par le biais de bateau. Slocum et Ferris n'achetaient pas les produits en comptant, mais touchaient en revanche à une commission, adoptant ainsi le titre "commis marchands". Un grand livre en forme folio datant des années 1910 dans lequel est inscrit les acquisitions de la firme avec une calligraphie fine se trouve toujours dans le bureau à l'étage au-dessus de la boutique.

Vivaldi's offer great lunch time specials and evening specials during weekdays.
I really love their homemade pureed soups. There is a good wine list, and they do the thing with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and hot bread. The menu is varied, and the food is fresh and always tasty. Their staff is always pleasant.
In my opinion, Vivaldi's could get a perfect rating from me is they: a) made certain the soup always came out hot, b) anticipate that folks go there for lunch and have to be served and out in an hour, and c) tidy up and make the necessary repairs to the washroom.Lire plus
