I have been dreaming about this place ever since the Yelp Elite Carnival event. I was thinking of going out of my way into kits to find it but low and behold my boyfriend lives a few blocks away. Coincidence? Hmm it was meant to be. What joy it was…More »

Realistically i give this place 3.5 stars. It was pretty dam good. When the guy is scooping you fresh falafel balls and deep frying, i knew i was in for a treat. A heaping amount of hummus, nice vegetables, hot sauce, and tahini. It was perfect for…More »
5. Semperviva Yoga
I have been eyeing Semperviva yoga studio for some time but have been locked into with another studio for the last year and have finally had my chance. I am very excited to say that i have yet to find a yoga instructor at this studio i don't like.…More »
6. Pacific Spirit Regional Park
Wow these trails are stunning! The last few weekends we have been getting lost in the trails and it just makes my weekend. Depending on the time of day sometimes you won't see a person but there is always the fitness freak running really fast in a…More »

Vegetarian

I have been here a couple more times mainly because this is where non vegetarians like to go with me. What no one realizes that there is absolutely no effort put into the menu. It's been the same forever. I find the portions HUGE but it really lacks…More »

Super happy to discover this place after yoga. Finally a place with better prices on organic produce then Whole Foods! It's also nice to support a local new company that is into all the same things i am in into. Lots of options without the…More »

Category:
Arts & Crafts

I came here in desperation for a type of yarn i ran out from another shop. The man working here was so helpful and so nice i am forever grateful to him. Being a beginner knitter is hard enough and then going into shops and trying to buy something…More »
10. The Kings Head
I haven't been to this pub since well before my legal drinking age.. so to return and see it filled with people my age was nice.
We arrived late on a Saturday night with a large group and got seated immediately (good timing because the pub was…More »

Canada

Arts & Entertainment
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I cannot believe that i have never gone to this Festival before. It's HUGE! and it's amazing. You don't even really have to like Folk music because there are 6 stages with different kinds of music playing at all the of them. That being said there was…More »
12. Jericho Beach
Jericho beach almost makes me feel like i am in a smaller city.. it's kind of tucked away from Spanish Banks and Kits in it's own little alcove. Situated between 2 sailing clubs it's still a stunning spot to catch some sunshine and go for a dip. What…More »

Category:
Beaches
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I am trying to find out if there is a beach in Vancouver that actually sucks..? I don't think i can find one.
Spanish banks is an awesome place because it's far enough away from the city and on some days you can be the only person out there. Other…More »
14. Dunbar Theatre
Vancouver, BC V6S 2G7
Canada
+1-604-222-2991
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
I hadn't been back here since i was a kid but their was a coupon deal so i can't say no to cheaper movies. This is a great theatre to go to in the Dunbar area, which i rarely am in, so it was a nice treat. Large theatre with newer, comfy seats.

Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Well i didn't even get to eat here. We walked in to the stench aroma of dead pig fat. It was such a strong smell i thought we could ignore it, we are both vegetarians. We sat down and looked at the menu. $18 for a breakfast wrap?! Organic is…More »

How come i never heard of this place before? It is not anywhere near where i live but this place should be talked about. A fully vegan restaurant with awesome flavored vegan tempeh burgers. Potatoes with miso gravy fitted my non vegan cravings for…More »

Greater Vancouver A, BC V6T 1Z4
Canada
+1-604-822-9666
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: UBC
Tucked away on the edge of UBC off of Marine Drive, is a wonderful place for botanists to get lost in. I got a groupon deal on this one which included the canopy walk, which scared the crap out of me. The canopy did not feel sturdy, and i felt like i…More »

Category:
Canadian (Traditional)

I do love Burgoo. This one was a little bit different then the one on Main, but the menu is the same. Of course i had to have the grilled cheese and grain salad.. all scrumptous. My boyfriend opted for the Ratatioulle which was delcious as well, but…More »
19. Wreck Beach
I almost don't want to write about how awesome this beach is because once i write on here about it, i find that somehow 5 star yelp locations get sort of ruined. Hopefully the 480 steps, and the fact that it's on the edge of UBC may deter you. Oh and…More »

Children's Clothing,

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Yes, i am getting to the age of baby explosions. My main concern when shopping for any item is 1. knowing where it comes from or who made it 2. Is it organic and free to toxic chemicals and lists each ingredient.
I walked into this store in…More »

Wow this place is heavenly, and opens into a clothes store! Very random but super interesting. A little overwhelming actually. I settled on some Aruvedic tea suited for my body type in an iced version. Super happy and creative. Love it.

Mexican

After waiting 40 minutes for a table during Kits festival we were seated in the dark corner of a half empty restaurant. I don't understand how a restaurant doesn't plan to be overly staffed when a huge festival is outside. The owner was running…More »
