Because sometimes I'm still 12 years old and entirely boy-crazy.

 1. Meat & Bread

370 Cambie St
Vancouver, BC V6B 2N4
(604) 566-9003

Category: Sandwiches

Neighbourhood: Downtown

5.0 star rating
  9/17/2011

It may seem strange for a person who can't eat bread to even *want* to go into a place that only offers one other thing. But when a restaurant claims to only offer 2 items, law of averages says they will probably be pretty freaking amazing at both.…More »

 2. Revolver

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown

5.0 star rating
  9/4/2011

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 »

 3. Jonathan Rogers Park

110 7 Ave W
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1L9
(604) 257-8400

Category: Parks

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant

5.0 star rating
  7/22/2011

Jonathan Rogers Park, huh? And to think, all this time we just referred to it as "The Park on 7th." This name is more than likely not only a statement of how much of a staple this park is to the neighbourhood, but also to how rad the actual grounds…More »

 4. The Juice Truck

200 Abbott St

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown

5.0 star rating
  9/8/2011

A couple of things to note about the Juice Truck:

1. "WTF is jewce?"
They quote one of my absolute favourite Dave Chappelle bits on their website. +10 for this: 4 for knowing about it, and 6 for actually posting it in a public space meant to…More »

Categories: Wine Bars, French

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown

5.0 star rating
  9/13/2011

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 »

 6. Guilt & Co

1 Alexander St
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2

Categories: Music Venues, Lounges

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown

5.0 star rating
  8/14/2011

I've got mad love for Guilt & Co. Is it the brick walls? The burlesque? Rumour has it that some of their dangerously delicious drinks have aphrodisiac qualities. Coincidence? Could this be the source of my love? Maybe. But it doesn't matter, because…More »

 7. Keefer Bar

135 Keefer St
Vancouver, BC V6A 1X3
(604) 688-1961

Category: Lounges

Neighbourhood: Chinatown

5.0 star rating
  11/3/2011

What's not to love? Resting unassumingly at the edge of Chinatown is one of my absolute favourite bars in Vancouver. Deep dark wood lining each of the walls; brilliant lighting designed by the masterminds at Urban Visuals; a moody yet entirely easy…More »

NapkinNapkinNapkinNapkin, no bun! Jeeebus, this pork. This pristine porking piggy pecks at my palate in perfectly pleasant ways.

It's messy, it's tender, it's moist, it's sweet, it's filling my mouth with all sorts of good.

... ooogahhd.

Be mine,…More »

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

5.0 star rating
  12/27/2011

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 »

Comfort-food is for suckers, I go for the drinks.

Suresure, they've got the wooden beams; yeahyeah, they've got that rrreal nice-like soft lighting that magically makes everyone *that* much better looking; okayokay, they've got that whole…More »
