The Japa Dog on Robson was the first stop on our culinary day out in Vancouver.  Although we hadn't been planning to stop there exactly, we knew we needed a bit of fuel for our long walk east to Commercial Drive and the Japa Dog buzz had been good.…More »

This little spot on the north end of Commercial Drive was a perfect stop for an early afternoon refueling before continuing down to explore The Drive.  I had a nice medium roast that was brewed and my momma had an attractive but average nonfat latte.…More »

This fair trade international imports store is the perfect place to head after you have just done some international travel.  It is full of the kind of things I always look for when traveling but rarely find (or don't particularly want to carry).

I really liked this little bar on the south end of Commercial Drive - and not just because the waitress was the most beautiful woman I saw in Vancouver.  We stopped here for a happy hour drink and snagged a little table where we could again watch…More »

The Alibi was the one place I sought out after reading about it in the Vancouver Lonely Planet.  I am very glad I did as it is a few blocks NE of the main part of Gastown and I'm sure I would not have stumbled upon it.  

I really dug the interior - a…More »

Our one dinner in Vancouver was the toughest decision we had to make on our only day in the city.  We had read good things about the Pourhouse on Yelp and it stood near the top of our list as we walked around Gastown looking at the options in person.…More »

We decided to go to O'Douls for a late night drink because it was one of the few places near our hotel that Yelp reported had live music.  Unfortunately the live music was very average and boring jazz being played a few guys in the corner.  The whole…More »

We headed to happening Kitsilano to find a brunch spot before heading back south of the border.  Sophie's looked like a funky spot from the street and we decided to give it a try.  I'm very happy we did as it was exactly the fun and tasty place we…More »

After a great trip with my momma to Vancouver, we met friends for dinner at Bellingham's Bayou on Bay.  What an awesome restaurant the old Stuart's Coffee location has turned into.  I had the super tasty Jambalaya along with a couple very good and…More »
