The Loden is a super sexy boutique hotel with excellent service and beautifully decorated rooms. From the TV screen that welcomes you by name, the gorgeous rooms, silky sheets, and fantastic bar downstairs, the Loden is pretty much perfect (I could…More »

"Are you sure it's down here?"

I peered into the dark alley wondering if we'd made a wrong turn. It just looked like an alley. A very dark and scary looking one. And it was raining. So it just looked like a wet, dark, and scary looking alley. It…More »

I don't like waiting for a table at restaurants. I want restaurants to take reservations so I can come in at an assigned time, sit down, and eat my meal at a normal hour. No matter how good the food, waiting around for a table for a long time is…More »

While doing our research for lodgings in Vancouver, every guidebook, magazine article, blog, and personal referral pointed us to the Opus Hotel. Touted as one of the city's top boutique hotels, it's also known as quite a hot spot for the night scene.…More »

We seriously need one of these in LA.

Why is it that everything in Canada seems like it's so much cleaner and more efficient than things here? A perfect example would be the SkyTrain. It's public transportation done extremely well and best of all (at…More »

Right around the corner from the Opus Hotel, Blue Water Cafe is definitely a see and be seen type of place. From the looks of it, it's where the beautiful people of Vancouver congregate for drinks and good food.

I'd like to give it five stars…More »

I love Whole Foods and Urban Fare I guess is Canada's version of the upscale grocery store. This location is  down the street from the Opus Hotel and just steps away from the harbor so it's convenient to grab a snack or a cup of coffee and walk down…More »

We stepped out on a rainy Wednesday to walk along the waterfront from Downtown to Gastown and happened upon Miku on our way. We actually had no intention of eating there but decided to go in to grab a bite since it looked like our walk into Gastown…More »
