Great (and pricey) food: Major Tom, Bridgette Bar
Great breakfast/brunch: OEB, Holy Grill (but watch out for long waits)

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it! All of these are new to me!

Any jewelry stores, antique stores, or pawn shops I should know about?

Not that I have explored or personally could give recommendations for, sorry!
17th Ave (S), Chinook Mall or Downtown would be where I'd look for pawn shops. 17th Ave S and Downtown/Stephen Ave are good places for lots of good restaurants in a small distance too! Northeast has some Indian jewelery stores that do high karat gold (22k). Chinook Mall has the high end designer stores (Tiffany, LV, etc)

Exciting! Are you going to Calgary specifically or the mountains? Personally I don't find much of interest in the city, but the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and I spent many a summer out there! For spas in the city, there is one at the fairmont and one at the hyatt which are both really nice. Outside the city, check out K Nordic spa. The massages are $$$ but you get access to the outdoor pools, exfoliation cabin, steam rooms, etc etc. It's a full day thing. Alberta loves their steak too, so do hit up a nice steakhouse!

Staying in the city, no car… so probably not going to hit up the mountains this time. I did love Lake Louise though! When I went!
