1. Iron Mountain Store
When we wander out of town, whether it is just for the day or longer, we like to enJOY our travels. Getting there and back again is as important as the destination; so we usually try and avoid the busy highways which makes Dewdney Trunk Road through…More »

It bears repeating because it was so amazing. Fresh blueberries atop of chocolate ice cream. Nothing could be any…More »
3. Classic Cafe East
St. John's, NL A1C 1E6
(709) 726-4444
A lovely cafe nestled at one end of the St. John's downtown. Don't let its size fool you, they can pack a whole lot of people into their well organised space, and the service is phenomenal. If you are super lucky, you'll have seat with a view. If…More »

Decent lunch and dinner in North Burnaby. Generous portions.

5. Gaze Seed Company (1987) Ltd
Seeds glorious seeds. Was glad to visit Gaze Seeds on my recent trip to Newfoundland as we brought back some great treats to plant in my garden here in Vancouver.
Other than live plants, seeds are one of my favorite things. I used to have a bit…More »
6. Fred's Records Tapes CDs
A record store is a record store is a record store....
Unless it's a legacy and a gem like Fred's. Fred's is the kind of place that makes you want to order records, tapes, CDs, and DVDs even when the material is available to purchase or download…More »

Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,

What can one say about the place that now houses the museum, the art gallery, and the archives.
A noted Canadian personna, who orginally hails from Newfoundland is reputed to have said: "The Rooms looks like the box that the Basilica came in."

8. Westham Island Herb Farm
Westham Island is one of our favourite destinations and we never fail to stop at the Herb Farm on our visits here. Unless of course it is closed, then we stop, have a little cry, and continue on.
A seasonal business; open from Spring to Fall. They…More »

Categories:
Jazz & Blues,

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
****THREE AND A HALF STARS****
We must have at least 30 or more places bookmarked on Main Street on our 'to-try' list and this wasn't one of them. Main Street sure has a lot of interesting places on it, that's for sure. A buddy of mine who I refer…More »
10. MUN Botanical Gardens
Beautiful gardens and large areas of wilderness to explore on trails rated between easy and moderate.
Your self guided tour begins and ends at the main building adjacent to the parking lot. This houses their administration offices, gift shop,…More »
11. The Burgundy Squid Cafe
Heaven on Earth...And considering the location (The Change Islands) is in itself a little bit of Heaven ... double win!!!
A lovely cafe with walls and windows adorned with the works of local artists' paintings and glass sun catchers. They also sell…More »

Delicious Peri-Peri Prawns
(Pic: http://www.yelp.ca/biz... )
I would suggest saving the bread that you get at the start of the meal, to use it to soak up the delicious sauce. Or bring a straw. There is no way you will be able to leave even a drop…More »

A revisit of Casa Verde with friends. In sum, we had a giant slice of their cuisine: steak with a… Read more »
13. Cactus Club Cafe
Not normally much of a fan of the Cactus Club chains but a friend suggested it as a middle ground - a good half distance between the both of us to meet for a meal. I am nothing, if not accommodating! :-)
My general complaint against 'places like…More »
14. UBC Botanical Garden
A lovely place to wander around and enjoy the solitude of the gardens on an ordinary day.
On a weekend such as this weekend, when they hold the UBC Apple Festival, it is far from quiet. But what a lovely way to use the gardens to sell some 44,000…More »
15. Nelson Canyon Park
Nelson Canyon Park
Contains many trails, the two main ones are the Whyte Lake Trail (almost in its entirety) and the Trans Canada Trail, which leads you from the Trail Head Parking Area (just off Westport, South of the TCH) up to the start of the…More »

Burnaby, BC V5C 0E4

Categories:
Shopping,
Keys & Locksmiths,

Brentwood Mall has been a choice location for me for years. Basically what started as a love based on proximity (close to work and home), has grown into real love.
What I first loved about the mall, other than its location, was the fact that it had…More »

I LOVE Lee Valley Tools.
I don't know what I would do if I lived somewhere that didn't have a Lee Valley - oh wait! Yes, I do know what I'd do.... I'd order from the catalog!
But I live in Vancouver where I have access to not one, but TWO Lee…More »
18. Wild Horses Pub & Eatery
When you ask people in St. John's these days where the best fish and chips is they all say it's this place. Except many cannot remember the name, because they haven't been there long perhaps. Or maybe they've changed names? Or maybe they've just…More »
19. Toronto Pearson International Airport
Signage is confusing and information on the departures gates can be out of date.
We arrived in Toronto on a cross-country adventure having checked in in Vancouver en-route to St. John's. The information given to us in Vancouver included the check-in…More »
20. A & W Restaurants
I like A&W. Yes, I like it a lot! Of all the fast food burger places I'd have to say this is one of my favourites.
Burgers and their toppings are all great. And the family names of burgers are a lot of fun. I like to revisit my youth with a…More »
21. Yellow Barn Country Produce
One of those places. One of those places where it seems like a time honoured tradition to go to, anytime you should be passing by.
It's a waypoint. A point of interest. A landmark. A checkpoint.
It is a big yellow barn in that you can see for…More »
22. Dream Sushi
Wandered in here late Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. We'd gone into starvation mode where our ability to make good choices, or any choice, is severely diminished. We had originally vowed to find the first parking space and go to the restaurant…More »
23. St. John's International Airport
Only place in Canada where people CHEER when they land. So for this alone you gotta give the place props. Or jets. Or helicopters... ;-)
Not a large airport, by any stretch of the imagination, but the departures set up I found a bit confusing.…More »
24. Sears Canada
Oh Sears. First I hated you when I was a child and you weren't Eatons (where my Daddy worked).
Now I hate you because you are Sears. And you aren't even the Sears I hated when I was a child. You've changed. You've farmed out your various…More »

*Three and a half stars*
Yelp, Thank You. We were out on a monster trek and had become severely uncaffeinated. A quick check for what was in the area led us here.
Wearily a coffee ordered
Merrily you iced my mocha
Verily, an amazing chocolate cake ( …More »
26. Tim Hortons
From coast to coast, Canadians love their Timmies.
I like their food options. Congrats on making a hash brown that isn't the same as everyone else's. It might be thinner than an average hash brown but it's seasoned nicely and is less greasy than…More »
27. Merlo's Press & Bean
Decent place for a meal. They have a nice setup to deal with the lunch crowd. Something for everyone.
It wasn't the lunch hour when we went, so we missed the usual crowd. Perhaps this is why the waiter decided not to write down our order. I have…More »
28. Third Beach
Third Beach, you are First in my books...
You may have difficulty finding parking here at the more busy times, but other options are available and suggested. Bike, hike, walk, stroll here. It is worth it.

Let's run away to Gander and Get Mary'd!!!
Funny story. I was visiting St. John's for a few weeks. I'd tried to make plans with a dear friend of mine but our schedules seemed to be in conflict. Then while travelling the province enroute to The…More »

Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
Train and bus station you say? Excellent. Not that I'd ever have need to use both at the same time, but it is nice to know where everything is located in this fine city.
Parking. Ugh. Pay parking. Double ugh. Pay parking with new fangled take…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 3M1
(604) 602-5959
Category:
Office Equipment
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
When I'm in Staples I feel like a kid in a stationary store. Except I'm a big kid, in a stationary store that also has electronics, and furniture, copying services and a courier depot. And it's still possible to get that kid feeling as you walk the…More »

This restaurant still remains a gem in the Vancouver world of Salvadoreno and Mexicano cuisine.
A return visit today finds the place under new ownership in the past year.
What remains is a great menu, delightful and friendly service, yummy fresh…More »

Neighbourhood: Metrotown
Our goal the other night, #1 daughter and I, was to eat somewhere new. Japanese was what I was craving, and she is a vegetarian, so we decided we'd go here. Daughter had been before for the miso ramen but it was new for me.
Very nicely decorated.…More »
35. Royal City Thai
*THREE AND A HALF STARS*
Wandered in here one weekend looking for brunch/lunch. We'd come here thinking it was going to be a Cafe, which it was for years. When we saw it had changed we first wandered away thinking we wanted a more traditional…More »
36. Roasty Jack
Mall Food. Good, Healthy Choices.
You don't often associate the two of those, but Brentwood Centre Food Court has a few and Roasty Jack is on that list.
Homestyle cooking. Sandwiches made with freshly cut roasted meat. Delicious and nutritious sides.…More »

Fortune. Fate. Pho.
We were driving by and looking for somewhere to eat on Kingsway. My Yelp bookmarks led me to a Vietnamese place that was closed, but this was open! So we decided to give it a try.
As often happens, my honey and I ordered the…More »
38. The Point
Yelp has led me to some amazing discoveries. This is another one of those.
Brunch was required and this was close to our ultimate destination. Bennys were desired, but what we found was even better. Great location, polite and prompt service.…More »

40. East is East
We've wanted to try this place for quite some time.
Walked in the door and was overwhelmed by the scent. Large plumes of smoke rose from a giant stalk of incense. It looked like Mt St Helens was erupting on the counter; smoke and ash made the air…More »
