1. Whistler Blackcomb
Ahh. So this is the true reason I came to Canada. Not for romping around and eating all of Vancouver, though that came as an added bonus.
This place is breathtaking. Standing on the top of the mountain, I realized that I have never truly…More »
2. Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
Canada
(604) 873-7000
Category:
Parks
Neighborhood: Coal Harbour
What do you do when you gorge yourself consistently, everyday, on vacation? You have to run off the excess poundage, of course.
This place is beautiful. For a city that has more trees than people, what could be better than a morning run along the…More »
3. Finch's Tea & Coffee House
Vancouver, BC V6B 1T3
Canada
(604) 899-4040
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighborhood: Downtown
Started out the first morning in Vancouver by starting with Finch's. Usually I cringe when people talk about "what a gem" a certain cafe or restaurant or bakery is on Yelp, but here I am, fumbling around with the thesaurus trying to figure out a…More »
4. Sushi Village
Didn't think a place like this would exist in Whistler. Very cute and pretty decent.
The salmon skin salad was pretty delicious. The salmon skins were more salmon meat than skin and not super crispy, which made it better than others I've had.…More »
5. Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N9
Canada
(604) 872-8822
Every cantonese person and their mother has been to Vancouver. I didn't quite realize why, but after arriving at the airport, I realized, it is truly Hongcouver.
So of course, I was told by a couple friends (and their mothers, true story) to check…More »
6. DFS Galleria
Los Angeles, CA 90045
(310) 348-2678
Categories:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply,
Accessories
Neighborhood: Westchester / LAX
I don't know if this is even the same DFS I was in for about an hour (i had some time to kill), looking at makeup, slathering on lotions (refer to 2 posts before), and playing with their perfumes.
Ok when there is some shiseido face lotion that is…More »
7. The Westin Bayshore
Vancouver, BC V6G 2V4
Canada
(604) 682-3377
Category:
Hotels
Neighborhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
Arrived very late in the AM. The lobby was fairly quiet. All the people at the concierge were Japanese-looking ladies. Complimentary apples in the basket in the lobby, took one. Complimentary juice, drank some. Check in was fairly easy and…More »
8. Guu With Garlic
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7
Canada
(604) 685-8678
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighborhood: West End
Walked around Robson since they said it would take ~40 mins to get a table. We were wondering if we made a mistake, since we saw some other japanese places with more Japanese people, whereas Guu w/Garlic seemed like everyone was talking Chinese…More »
9. Hot Buns Bakery
North Vancouver, BC V0N 1B0
Canada
(604) 932-6883
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Bakeries
Hot buns (hee hee, I'm immature) is great for a semi quick breakfast for the full day ahead on the mountains. Came across it the night before and decided to try it out in the morning.
The savory crepes are good. They don't make the doughy cover…More »
10. Wildflower Restaurant
Whistler, BC V0N 1B4
Canada
(604) 938-2033
I think the best part about this restaurant (inside the Fairmont in Whistler) is the service.
Every day until passover, they are having a $10 deal. They pick something from the menu (usually priced at $25-35CAD) and BAM it's $10.
We ate on a…More »
11. Vij's Rangoli
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
Canada
(604) 736-5711
Category:
Indian
Neighborhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
This place is Canadianized. It's really really good, don't get me wrong, but it's not super authentic. It's a little toned down. I'm not an expert, but I come from nor cal, where my town is half Indian, almost. It almost also felt like a tourist…More »
12. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Canada
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighborhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Tourist trap. But the best kind ever. This place was filled with pastries, bakeries, fresh fruits and veggies, maple syrups, music artists trying to make a loonie, sausages, salmon, butchers, plants, random souvenir goodies.
I used to hate these…More »
13. Front & Company
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
Canada
(604) 879-8431
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighborhood: Riley Park
Vancouver is all about living green. From the first day we got to the hotel, earth hour was being heavily publicized and everybody was asked to partake in the ritual of conservation. I don't believe i've ever seen this many consignment stores…More »
14. The Fairmont Chateau Whistler
World class service. Everything from the bell person to the concierge was top notch. I guess you get what you pay for, except we paid 99 CAD$ for our room on the 10th floor with gorgeous views of the white mountain. It was a deal with the hotel…More »

Categories:

Neighborhoods: West End, Downtown
In poor economic times like these, what do you do? Shop, of course.
The dollar is stronger (not strong) in Canada. That's more than enough reason for me to indulge.
16. Glowbal Grill Steaks & Satay
Vancouver, BC V6B 5P9
Canada
(604) 602-0835
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Steakhouses
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Was walking around Yaletown around lunch, and the beast started to awaken again. Every other restaurant was seemingly empty, but Glowbal was hustling and bustling with vibrant energy and people waiting to get seated, even on the patio, on a slightly…More »
17. Whole Foods: Capers Community Market
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C8
Canada
(604) 687-5288
Categories:
Delis,
Health Food Store,

Neighborhood: West End
Whole foods for canadians. Fresh fruits, vegetables.
Got a couple items from the bakery for a fast breakfast before a long drive. Delicious! The bran blueberry muffin was the best.
Also got some delicious muscat grapes...
That is all.
18. Roots Canada
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A9
Canada
(604) 683-4305
Category:
Fashion
Neighborhoods: West End, Downtown
Ok. So I spent the last 2 days furiously writing about everything Canada, while the information is still fresh in my head. How can I forget roots? Roots is Canada clothing. Made in Canada, for Canadians, and from what I gather, their line is…More »
19. Chic Pea
Mid whistler mountain. Wasn't too busy when I arrived around noonish. Got very busy towards the later parts of the hour.
What's not to like, when your stomach is angry for food because of hours of navigating the runs? The soup is hot and they serve…More »
20. Vancouver International Airport
Richmond, BC V7B 1M8
Canada
(604) 207-7077
Category:
Airports
Neighborhood: YVR
When I touched down at the airport, the first thing I noticed was that there was a jungle gym in the terminal. WTF? I don't believe I've seen that before. Walking through the international sections on to customs, I noticed how there were a couple…More »
21. Benkei Ramen
Meh, is all I can say.
Great service, you get your order fast, and it fills the stomach. It's not some of the best tasting soup, but after I bombarded it with garlic and chili paste, it was delicious enough to satisfy.
22. Starbucks Coffee Company
I usually go out of my way to avoid starbucks. But this time I had to use the bathroom. And it was busy and it's not super terrible for the iced teas.
Too bad there was a line for the bathroom, and the lady that was 3 persons ahead decided to drop…More »
