"If you want a living experience that will give you a real taste of Newfoundland and its people and culture, then you should try Downtown Hostel St. John's NFL. When we arrived at the hostel, the helpful attendants not only provided us with maps and the answers to all our questions, but also shared with us the Newfoundland delicacy they had just cooked -- toutin (special type of fried bread). In addition, on Sunday morning, the assistant manager, Bill cooked us a traditional Newfoundland brunch in the hostel kitchen.
