SASKATOON: THE PARIS OF THE PRAIRIES

[@kitt_noir_photography]

A town with jazz, good food, vintage posters & coffee bought by strangers? My kinda town! 😉 Loved the sepia flashback. Fab video chaps! One of my favs x

[@vagabrothers]

Kitt Noir We love to tell history through re-enactment!

[@tanisrobertson5221]

It's called the Paris of the Prairies because it is a city of bridges, just like Paris. I assure you, being known for great restaurants is a very recent development!

[@SeasaidhB]

+Tanis Robertson -- is correct! The "Paris of the Prairies" is dubbed this for its bridges, and also is nicknamed The Bridge City.

[@missinginbc]

+Tanis Robertson The food in Saskatoon is the only thing that I miss. And I haven't been back there for 27 years.

[@sonnygivens4549]

Yea I had never heard it called the Paris of the prairies and I've lived here all 25 years of my life , I've heard bridge city , hub city, but never Paris of the prairies lol makes it sound nicer than it is haha

[@Me-yb7bj]

For fun in my city i go down where midtown mall is (if you live here) to see how many people ask me for a dollar

[@WildRoseCountryGirl]

I've only been to Saskatoon once, it was for a wedding. But the shopping was so very good there. I was impressed.

[@Parmesana]

My son married a gal from Saskatoon. It is a beautiful city full of wonderful people. We ate at a great diner (can't remember the name-city diner?) and I had poutine..yumm The farmers market is nice, lots of local goods and they are excellent! try Saskatoon berries..similar in looks to blueberry and tastes like a mix of blueberry and strawberry.

[@tyronenigga2876]

yo if u think think the farmers market is nice u should check out the avenues dawg btw u got meth????

[@longdong3889]

Indians ruined it. At least it's not prince albert.

[@fakecrime]

I'm headed to Saskatoon in about 2 months. People have told me that it's a boring place, but this video has shown me otherwise! Thank you :-)

[@rickmartyn55]

No it is boring .

[@terryandrews9956]

Soo damn boring.

[@One_moor_for_luck]

I have only recently found your channel and this is a great video! Im actually living in Alberta, Canada my self for now and planning on heading out that way to the Prairies if I have the time before my visa ends. Thanks for the tips!

[@mrfriendlyguy]

Thanks to you guys, I so want to see Canada again. This time parts I haven't been to.

[@jordikeoni]

Wow, Saskatoon has a really cool vibe! Often overlooked by Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver for hip restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, and boutiques. Should be a cool place to visit. Thanks for showing us the scene.

[@paypaykate]

We love boomtown. I used to go there every time I was with my grandma, brother, and cousin. Still a great place to go now❤️

[@areenqazi9517]

You guys are really cool and your vids are really insightful and inspiring!! Photography is mindblowing so is ur story telling!! Wish u guys lots of success and I look forward to more of ur work!! Keep up the good work guys!!

[@vagabrothers]

Cheers!

[@Highcaloriegrappling]

Great Video! You where on 20th Street not 22nd Street.

[@CumDumpster69820]

[@Mattz9]

Saskatoon is a hub for creatives. Thanks for spotlighting our beautiful city. If anyone wants to see more of Stoon. Check out my weekly vlogs!

[@maxeyre2024]

+Mattz 9 You live in Saskatoon too? Nice! What area of town? (don't give me your address):p

[@Mattz9]

+Downton 654 stonebridge you will see that in my vlogs

[@maxeyre2024]

Awesome! I live in Stonebridge too! And my Mum is the candidate for Stonebridge Dakota!

[@tomorrowtodaysociety2028]

The riverscape is beautiful because it was never industrialized like so many other Canadian cities. The vibrant software and technology startups are underrated despite contributing to the smartphone technology that we all use every day. The best restaurants are definitely here; foodies will be happy. The Jazz Festival is one of many that will keep you busy all year if you want to be.

[@melwilkinson7]

This is such a great video of Saskatoon and an expat who returned it also gave me new info. Thanks. I am sharing with all my nyc friends to entice them to visit.:-)

[@theguy1318]

+Mellie77 Just make sure to visit in the summer or fall lol not spring or winter

[@wmkirkmoore]

Who knew???? Killer spirits, delish food, super shoes and world-class music in the middle of the prairie! Expertly documented! Never thought I'd want to go to Saskatoon, but now I do.

[@theguy1318]

You can't forget that it snows here most of the time lol.

[@juliared1558]

Ya in summer it goes up to like +35 degrees and down to like -45 degrees Not fun

[@ShawnNorrisCanada]

Great video! Can't wait to see your Alberta one, especially since my wife and I met you guys in Waterton when you were literally staying just two doors down from us haha!

[@Gagz]

The quote on the wall 3:36 applies on both of u guys!!! Great video

[@NIROMATR]

Glad you guys enjoyed our city!

[@jestami]

I live in Saskatoon. And honestly i don't really find it that amazing here. Not until i pause and think about my city for a bit. Then you realize there is beauty in everything.

[@slopcrusher3482]

Ame like the fact you only have to drive 20 min tops to be out in nature in the middle of no where going on an adventure

[@kaylakish5262]

Woo! Saskatchewan represent!

[@SeasaidhB]

One thing you may not know is that the name "Saskatoon" references Saskatoon berries, which the province is traditionally known for having an abundance of. The original Cree word that the berry name was taken from is "sâskwatôn". Unfortunately very few grow wild now, having depleted greatly over the past 30 years in the rural countryside. A local source for residents these days is the Berry Barn orchard farm & eatery, located just 7 miles south of the city. It has been in operation since the early 1990s, and is enjoyed as a pleasant site as well as for activities there.

[@55wolf907]

I live just outside of saskatoon and we're actually super lucky to have a ton of wild saskatoon berry bushes! We get to pick saskatoons every year and we make pies :) I love saskatoon berries, and I had no idea our wild berry patch was rare!

[@SeasaidhB]

Yes they've been disappearing over the past several decades.

[@donratcliffe-smith8002]

great vid boys! Will admit my bias up front as I live in Saskatoon....you have to come back for further exploration of our great metropolitan "little city". Lots of culture, art, music and an explosion of great little unique restaurants and boutiques. It really is a great summer city for fun.

[@hotrodvan]

It’s called Paris of the Prairies because of the number of bridges. Before these hipster establishments, Saskatoon was known for its high number of Greek restaurants. You know, the kind that gives you soup and salad with your meal? The kinds of places where the manager would regularly touch female serving staff and where kids would get crayons when they were seated.

[@hotrodvan]

Unless it’s because of the beautiful bikes lanes in both cities lol

[@The_Rooneys]

The first time ever watching your vids... and all I can think of is, why is this not on discovery HD or something on sky t.v? you guys have fantastic videos!

[@kkhalann]

Loved the video but you could have shown more about the city. Like important or historical places or buildings.

[@kamiskenaw4340]

Yea good luck finding them lol

[@BrianPicchi]

Only been to Saskatoon once. Very nice video. I'm from San Diego.

[@Carson-ve9qh]

TanRu Nomad I’ve been to San Diego once and I’m from Saskatoon

[@juliadidier]

I really hope you guys were able to check out paddock wood brewing!

[@iamdelaplante]

This makes me want to explore my own country more

[@ChrisMolenaar]

Lb distillers is also a great story!

[@Piki10903able]

I'm surprised they didn't check out O'brians event centre, they have a lot of good artists going through there

[@carwest11]

I live here and i learned new things about my city from this video?

[@EvanDuby]

Really cool episode! Well done gents!

[@travisodermatt2472]

Housing to expsive in saskatoon it's freezing in the winter town in the middle of a dirt dessert. You could live on Vancouver island for the price and it's a lot warmer and nicer.

[@Drendle87]

I agree about the cold but there is no way you could live on Vancouver island for cheaper.

[@melis6264]

Your content keeps to amaze me! Even more Canada pls☻♥

[@vagabrothers]

Melis Mia Get ready for the next month - lots of Canada to come!

[@SeasaidhB]

Thank you for mentioning Adam Finn's cobbling business. That's fantastic that this exists here -- I didn't know about it! Why search all over for footwear that may not ever fit properly and was mass-produced, when instead one could purchase shoes specifically made for the wearer, and which are made in excellence? Take my money!

[@sonnygivens4549]

Wouldn't Broadway be more of the "creative hub" of Saskatoon?? I would think so at least musically

[@bevzacharias7904]

Broadway definitely, not 22nd St. Small point, the businesses described as being on 22nd St are actually 2 blocks south, on 20th St. Two blocks, but different worlds.

[@nick469er]

Great to see the city cleaned up Broadway when I lived there Broadway was full of drug addics and a porno industry in the early 80's

[@ChrisMolenaar]

Paris of the prairies!

[@72vince27]

They had me as soon as I saw the roots

[@jeycalc6877]

how do you guys live there, its cold 8 months of the year!

[@Kanadaauswandern]

Paris of the Arctic 🥶

[@antisocial6993]

Classic boomtown, love boomtown

[@kevinshen8649]

Why is it so dark in the summer?

[@merricka5538]

it can be really cool here in saskatoon, and then really sucky lmao. it has nice calming scenery at near the river

[@imgursdownvote4love771]

The next time that you are in the area, you should visit Biggar!

[@johnscanlan9335]

Who knew Saskatoon is such a hip and cool place????

[@policemn3987]

0:59 that's the western development museum

[@zoraidaotero1912]

Wow randomly clicked on a title related to paris who do i find, but VAGABROTHERS!!!!!

[@MikeCanadian]

Saskatoon is a beautiful city!

[@eksmaan]

Oh so very dope indeed!

[@emckethern]

I can tell the difference with the quality of your camera back then compared to now in 2017. Big difference.

[@angelaperrin243]

I like what you covered but you didn't even scratch the surface,Guys!! I lived in Saskatoon for 10 years there's a lot more to it than booze,food and Jazz fest!! I mean,you only really one of each of those things even!!

[@martindavis9930]

What is a Rude Crew ?

[@omerbutt3903]

good to see you for your video

[@catalinaroldan6439]

This is just so cute!

[@paigegoodman1140]

Great video! Just one mistake- it's called The Two-Twenty and it's on 20th St.

[@jonaslaurince]

Saskatoon is so nice !!!

[@kaitlynnp2719]

OMG! WELCOME TO SASKATOON!!

[@ternitamas]

I was surprised to hear they use chimichurri in Saskatoon. It's an Argentinian sauce. Btw, any plans of visiting Argentina in the future? Great video. I had never heard about this place so this was really interesting to watch!

[@vagabrothers]

ternitamas Argentinian cuisine is awesome! But chimichurri is actually believed to have been brought to Argentina by Basque settlers. "Tximitxurri" roughly translates to "a mixture of several things in no particular order." But we love it regardless of where it comes from! ; )

[@ternitamas]

vagabrothers true that, our culture, including cuisine is basically a mixture of Italian, Spanish, French and German influences due to immigration. Anyways, it really surprised me that chimichurri or tximitxurri reached Canada too. Hugs =)

[@cochar2]

Enjoyed your video, will definitely watch more...just wanted to point out that Saskatoon is not the capitol...Regina is. Also when you went to Two-Twenty it is not on 22nd but on 20th st., otherwise it's all good!

[@SeasaidhB]

YXE has an exceptional number of restaurants -- in fact, so many that local "people's paper" Planet S, which holds an annual "Best Of" contest to honour various businesses around town, eventually had to give Food & Drink its own completely separate competition. It holds this at the polar opposite time of year, so that residents who take part in the voting process won't come to feel burned-out. That said, despite the high number of business in this category, it is true that most were until recently fairly run-of-the-mill. It wasn't a destination place for anyone who appreciates Fine Dining, you might say, and was more suitable to the average office population or people who favour fast food. Very thankfully options with a higher degree of health to their menu, or which are more artful in their design have been cropping up. Ayden's was definitely a wise place to visit. As far as top chefs in Canada goes, Dale Mackay is a rock star.

[@mackenziejanzen6754]

I live in Saskatoon it is very beautiful!!

[@frogspawn120]

Are you guys going to British Columbia ?

[@vagabrothers]

Sadly not this time. Tune in next week for the first episode from Alberta!

[@MindFlayz]

Wtf I was at that roots concert and didn't even see you guys! haha thats crazy

[@vagabrothers]

It was so fun!!

[@AutoWorldzz]

Nice video,🌷🌹🌻🌾🌳🌱🌲☀️ this is a creative video & it is very enlightening. My favorite channel💕,really! Thanks 🌿🌿🌿🌿 🌿🌿🌿🌿 🌿🌿🌿🌿 🌿🌿🌿🌿 Saskatoon + Saskatchewan

[@rpm1796]

Prairie Scallops Baby!.....Go Bisons.

[@wheelzwheela]

You know... I live in Saskatoon and like it, if I live here for the rest of my life I'd be happy. I have to say this video is not very realistic. We are NOT known for our fabulous restaurants. I have never heard that before. Nor have I ever heard about the shoe maker, which I noticed you didn't think was worth buying from. So there is a place that prints on Chinese made T shirts... So what. The fact that you enjoyed an imported American band that played one show left and won't be back is not that interesting. There are some interesting things about a Saskatoon though, one example is in the Western Development Museum (in which you filmed the scene about prohibition) the actual machine sits that was the worlds first, that's right first, Cancer radiation machine (the kind that has saved an unmeasurable amount of lives) invented and built in Saskatoon... thats WAY more interesting and important that anything you mentioned and you were literally 50 feet away from it.

[@Ai-yahUdingus]

+wheelzwheela I used to live in Saskatoon (I now live outside of Saskatoon) and I agree 100%. What I loved best about the city was going down to the river, and I recently discovered a mural down by one of the bridges that says, "Before I die I want to..." and people wrote all over it what they want to do. It's pretty amazing. I want to travel the world when I grow up but I feel that I will always come back to Saskatoon.

[@HellaReckless]

Chill out damn. Way too serious.

[@wheelzwheela]

+Dimh Co. Seems like people agree with me.

[@maxeyre2024]

+wheelzwheela What area of Saskatoon? just curious Don't give me addrsess.

[@wheelzwheela]

+Downton 654 West side

[@hairold5680]

Well, I live 30 mins away from there. And I will say I never knew that place was known for that.

[@MindfulWanderlust]

We were in the same city!!

[@onemon22]

Thanks for posting. I think I will sub.

[@i8sumpitm214]

Are you sure you got the two twenty on the right Street, 22nd Street is the Street were all the gangs hang out at the McDonald's

Saskatoon is not the Paris of the Prairies. it's the city of bridges

[@tyronenigga2876]

its thecity of saskatoon the best saskatonn we love METHHHHH

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Awesome video guys! I've never considered putting Saskatoon on my travel list, but looks like I should. Two questions for you. 1. Do you contact the owners of the restaurants/micro-distilleries beforehand and ask to do interviews, or is that just spur-of-the-moment stuff? Those interviews really add value to your production and make it seem less like a vlog and more like a travel show. 2. As far as copyright rules go, how can you monetize the video and include clips from the Roots playing live? (I'm not trying to call you out, I just never understand where the line is drawn on what I can and can't include in my videos.)

[@omerbutt3903]

hy good to see you

[@jaydinjohnston8051]

[@LabLeah]

You were on 20th Street at Two-Twenty NOT 22nd!

I've never heard it called that before. To each their own I suppose. ;)

[@trevortheechidna13]

"This week we explore Saskatoon - the capital of Saskatchewan, Canada." this is the text that appears on the facebook post...however it says above "This week we explore Saskatoon - the largest city in Saskatchewan, Canada" weird. Just thought i would let you know.

[@Achaern]

I don't know if it hjs been mentioned yet, or if I missed a joke... but Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, not Saskatoon.

[@juliared1558]

Yes but Saskatoon is bigger

[@kenkunz1428]

I didn't learn anything about the city of Saskatoon in this video, only about a handful of Hipsters doing quirky things with their time.

[@MarcelPetitmpet]

interesting not one comment of who was here before the Temperance Colony (it was like there was no one and then them...boom!) and not one mention of all the other cultures in Saskatoon, I guess there is only one colour in Saskatoon and of course the Roots who were playing at the Festival. Also you forgot to mention the displacement, gentrification and racism here in this beautiful city.

[@alenemoorewright]

Weird thing is, my mom works in the two twenty offices lmao
