See All Lists
1. The Cascade Room
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E6
(604) 709-8650
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
After a chilly summer night (wait, this *is* summer, right?) in the park, a big group of friends and I were seeking some kind - any kind - of warmth. Enter Cascade, home to many candles, cocktails and killer servers.
Attentive without overbearing,…More »
2. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Last minute change of venue with 30 people in tow? No problem, says the Irish Heather. What about if we bring in Jenga to crash on the concrete floor? Also fine, apparently. A communal table all to ourselves, the nicest server in the house and great…More »

Communal table! MASSIVE scotch list! Bangers and mash!
... but it's missing something. The Irish… Read more »
3. HRD Coffee Shop
San Francisco, CA 94107
USA
(415) 543-2355
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Korean,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: SOMA
How this qualifies as a coffee shop is beyond me - aside from the Twitter-types warming up with their to-go cups while waiting in the long queue that wrapped outside HRD's door, I saw no evidence of coffee in this shop. But with Korean grub like…More »
4. Denman Shoe Repair
Every once in awhile I find a business that I had no idea existed but can't even begin to comprehend how I ever lived without. As a person with a soft-spot for the most impossibly adorable vintage shoes, I spend an obscene amount money at the…More »
5. Old Faithful Shop
Vancouver, BC V6B 1E5
(778) 327-9376
Category:
Home Decor
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Old Chum is one of my all time favourite Tumblrs. Looking through the pages and pages of its posts is like digging through stacks upon stacks of unorganized books only to find that each one is as much a jewel as the last. A paragon of Canadiana of…More »
6. Sushi Mart
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7
(604) 687-2422
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West End
In a city full of amazing sushi joints, these guys win. Full stop.
Since opening in 2009, Sushi Mart has been my go-to place for a quick and tasty meal. It's everything I want in a restaurant - fresh, delicious, clean, cheap, and literally right…More »
7. Le Marché St.George
Vancouver, BC V5V 2K6
(604) 565-5107
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Cafes,
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I wish every business would take a page from Marché St George's book, because this shop is exactly how my romantic little brain imagines the perfect general store to be. Minimally stocked with locally-sourced and artisan wares, this tiny corner store…More »
8. Revolver
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 558-4444
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Revolver's flirting with me.
They're caressing my coffee-loving tendencies with familiarities like the Chemex and Kone combination I have at home - though their sexy line-up of the handled version positioned 'just so' along the brew bar weakens the…More »
9. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
You know those places you just love so much that you find it hard to put into words? Or worse, you fear that once you do put it into words it will all seem too gushy, too mushy, too much? That's how I feel about Boneta. Cozy without being quaint,…More »
10. Damso
Adorable!
I'm the type of girl who loves me a slightly dirty, could-be-closed-down-at-any-po int, extremely authentic restaurant. So I wasn't sure about this cute and modern little Korean joint on Denman -- especially after my last few West End…More »
11. Vancity Savings Credit Union
Vancouver, BC V6G 1E8
(604) 877-7000
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhood: West End
A lover of all things local, it only makes sense that I would put my money where my mouth is (pun entirely intended) and let a credit union handle most of my financial matters. But Vancity CU isn't just any ol' credit union, oh no. No friends,…More »
12. Community Thrift and Vintage: The Frock Shoppe
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 682-8535
Category:
Thrift Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
It was easy to fall in love with Community Thrift and Viintage. Gastown, exposed brick walls, affordable quality garments, natural fibres, not-for-profit *and* run by some incredibly sweet and genuinely rad people? Done. Turns out I'm not their only…More »
13. Chewies Steam and Oyster Bar
Vancouver, BC V6K 1E9
(604) 558-4448
Ask anyone who's ever shared a bottle of wine with me, and they'll let you know that I (almost always) will serve the wine in a whiskey tumbler. Something about the bottom weight of the glass, the casual nature of sipping from a cup -- it sets the…More »
