Problem
Can you or can't you see the amazing Hula mural of the girls head and shoulders rising out of the water as the tide rises in 24 hours and falls four storeys! (Americans spell it stories, which to Brits means only levels on a skyscraper, history, plots or myths.) From which restaurants can you see the tide, high or low, or if you have time and money, sit and watch and drink and eat all day?

Answer
I wrote to the tourist board for the latest and this is what they replied.

(The people who brought HULA to town!  They worked alongside One Princess in this venture, who do carry unique items to Saint John under the Canada Strong and Free brand.  They are located on Water Street, directly across from where the mural was painted, and they also offer beautiful suites to rent short term.

The Reversing Falls Restaurant and Skywalk is located on West side of our City at 200 Bridge Road.  It is still currently under renovations but slated to hopefully open soon.  In the meantime, we have 5 great restaurants on our Boardwalk, with view of the Harbour as well as over 70 different restaurants and pubs alone in our Uptown core.  All are local establishments. 

There are many options for fun and unique souvenir types items for Saint John sold in a variety of places.  Barbour’s General Store, which houses a Visitor Centre, the Saint John Tour Desk and a retail area, carries locally printed t-shirts, and a variety of products from Saint John and NB.  Our Saint John City Market is the one of the oldest running indoor markets, established in the late 1870’s. It carries everything local and has many great gift ideas.  As well as a number of our galleries. The Reversing Falls Restaurant will have a gift shop as well.
