1. The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
Located deep within The Banff National Park, the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is without a doubt the nicest hotel I have ever (and probably will ever) stay in. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Check out the pictures and you'll see what I…More »
2. The Commodore Ballroom
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1K3
Canada
(604) 683-9413
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
If I could have updated my "Most Recent Discovery" the night I attended a show at the Commodore, it would have said, "Walking is really hard to do when you're thinking about it."
As the crowd for The Weakerthans trickled into the building, a playlist…More »
3. The Atlantic Trap & Gill
Vancouver, BC V6B 2A6
Canada
(604) 688-5840
I don't have any clever openings for this review that don't involve some innuendo regarding the word "trap", so I'm not even going to go there..
Mmmmm.... traps...
OK, back to review!
In search of seafood, after walking around the…More »
4. Toronto Pearson International Airport
As kisses go, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The alkaline lips, her fingers wrapped around my belt. She had to go, she took a step back in and then she started to smile. I heard a funny sound then everything seemed to shift.
A crazy wail,…More »
5. Caprice Restaurant & Lounge
Now that Yelp has decided to include our neighbors to the north it has finally dawned on me as to why I've been holding onto this ratty business card left at my table one August evening - I was destined to review it!
I remember fondly devouring some…More »
6. CN Tower
Toronto, ON M5V 2T6
Canada
(416) 868-6937
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Entertainment District
Here's the deal:
1. You're going to wait about 2.5-3 hours to get up into the tower. Longer if you want to go into the skypod. BUMMER!
2. It's going to cost you about $15, to do so. Canadian of course. CHA'CHING!
3. Shit is tall. Real tall. Real real…More »
7. Montreal Sunset Hostel
First off, I'm not too sure this place is still open for business. It wasn't as much a hostel as it was a big five room apartment, common area and one bathroom that people happened to stay in. I honestly felt like the host (Mathieu) was just trying…More »
8. Megabite Pizza
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L4
Canada

Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I read somewhere recently that only about 23% of Americans own a passport and only about 10% of those actually leave the country.
Thank god.
Ignorance to the world outside of the US keeps the hordes of fat people in my nation far away from crossing…More »
9. Tim Hortons
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1V3
Canada
(604) 642-4272
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I feel like reviewing a Tim Horton's is to Canadians what reviewing a Starbucks is to Americans. They're all over the place. They're cool from time to time but they're pretty standard and mediocre when all is said and done. They probably choke out…More »
10. Global Village Backpackers
Toronto, ON M5V 1L7
Canada
(416) 703-8540
It's about time Yelp got into Canadian borders. I've got 1st's to claim!
A little history - this joint used to be the Spadina Hotel, hosting movie stars like Jack Nicholson. I have to believe was far more prestigious of an establishment it became...

11. Tom Lee Music
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
Canada
(604) 685-8471
Category:
Musical Instruments & Teachers
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Tom Lee Music is probably the coolest music store I've ever been in for being in the vein of "Guitar Center-ish" corporate music stores.
While being a "do everything" kind of music store that includes a wide selection of keyboards, electric and…More »
12. The Butchart Gardens
Brentwood Bay, BC V8M 1J8
Canada
(250) 652-4422
Categories:
Parks,
Botanical Gardens
Admission used to be $7 per person. ....back in 1998. How things change.
After our dollar takes a plunge off the bailout plan it'll be more like $30 USD's per person. Bummer.
I was in 8th grade when I went, a ripe 14 years old. I've never been amazed…More »
13. Ca Roule Montreal
Renting a bike is an awesome way to explore a new city, especially in a place like Montreal where the bike friendly attitude might rival even Amsterdam. Pedaling is also undoubtedly more fun than walking, you can cover more ground and you don't look…More »

Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Yo. Canada is expensive. That wasn't an issue when the exchange rate of USD's to CAD's was better, but then the USD started suckin' and now the difference is somewhere in the pathetic $.07 range. Ouch. I'm not used to paying $6.75 for a beer. Or $12…More »
15. Le Loft Club
In the grand scheme of things, Le Loft is a multi-level, multi-bar club in a Francophone quarter of Montreal with rooms for dancing, rooms with tables and an absolutely amazing rooftop patio bar.
If you're a sucker for French women/accents like me,…More »
16. Restaurant Mr Falafel
The last night my friend Chris and I spent in our hostel, two college aged guys from Hamilton walked in. They'd won a stay from a poker game and came up for the weekend. We had a Toronto bound train to catch in the morning but upon hearing we were…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 1H3
Canada
(604) 669-9565
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
It's comforting to know that almost anywhere you go in the world, the interior of a 7-11 will look exactly the same. No matter the country, you can still buy those little artery congesting jalepeno cream-cheese taquito things, and a Slurpee.…More »
18. Molson Canada
It's amazing how many tasty beers Molson makes that don't always make it to the US.
Molson XXX and Molson Dry ring the loudest bells, even if their company is often viewed as the PBR of the north.
(Brewery tours are awesome, not for the bottling…More »
19. Le Pistol
Better snag the first on this while I still can...
Le Pistol was a good pre-game spot for what turned into an awesome night in Downtown Montreal. As you can see in the pictures, it's dark with red lighting. A pretty sexy spot indeed. Too bad I was…More »

Canadian's are big fans of Miles Gilbert Horton, better known as "Tim". And they have good reason to be. The guy was a champ on the ice. He played 22 seasons of Hockey for the Maple Leafs, Rangers, Penguins and Sabres.
Whatever possessed him to open…More »
