1. Whytecliff Park
Whytecliff Park is one of my very most favourite places in Vancouver. I absolutely love it here, I just find it so peaceful, especially sitting out on the rocks overlooking the little bay watching seals and scuba divers play in the water. I love it…More »
2. Third Beach
Third Beach is my very most favourite Vancouver beach. It's generally less crowded than the other beaches around Stanley Park, the water is swimmable, there's lots of room for spreading out and enjoying your day, the view of West Vancouver and the…More »

Dance Schools,
Dance Studios
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Man oh man do I love coming here for dance classes.
I had heard from so many dance types when I was living in Calgary that Harbour was the absolute best when it came to dance schools in Vancouver. So far, can't say I disagree.
The studio itself is in a…More »

I absolutely love this place. And I haven't even tried the painting yet!
We've come here a couple times to check out (and participate in) their Monday Open Mic Night. Amazing. The guy who runs it, Alex Maher, is a ridiculously talented musician who I…More »
5. Stawamus Chief Park
Definitely the most advanced hiking I've done. Love it!
This hike doesn't mess around. I would suggest you take the big boulder filter right at the beginning of the trail seriously. As in, if you have a really hard time climbing over those rocks,…More »
6. Biltmore Cabaret
Vancouver, BC V5T 3J7
(604) 676-0541
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I adore seeing shows at the Biltmore. Even just walking in is an experience, as you descend the wide stairs inside the entrance and the room opens up before you... Red wallpaper! Circle booths! Old arcade games! Chandeliers! Animal heads!
They've got…More »
7. The Rickshaw Theatre
Vancouver, BC V6A 1A1
(604) 681-8915
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
How can you possibly go wrong with a venue that used to be a movie theatre built specifically to show kung-fu movies?
This is a fantastic live music venue that has lots of character including theatre seating on the floor level and a balcony (which,…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 2P1
Categories:
Music Venues,
Performing Arts

I absolutely adore old theatres and this one is no exception. From the marble floors to the high ceilings adorned with chandeliers to the absolutely beautiful theatre space, this one is top notch.
I've only been a couple times to see the opera (so…More »

Category:
Day Spas
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I just got back from a lovely pedicure thanks to a lovely friend and a daily coupon gifted to me for Christmas.
This is a really cute little boutique shop in Yaletown that definitely makes the most of its small space. First impression is that it is…More »

Category:
Travel Services

My company uses Travel Masters for all our corporate travel needs and I gotta say, working with them (especially Gail Searson, our travel hero) is awesome.

11. Blue Olive Photography
Vancouver, BC V6A 2Y8
(604) 605-1272
Category:
Photographers
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
I dare you to look at Blue Olive's portfolio on their website and not fall instantly in love with their photography. It can't be done!
Reilly and Miranda are good friends of mine, but I am also one of their past clients and can't say enough good…More »
12. Elephant Island Orchard Wines
Elephant Island is an absolute must-visit winery if you're visiting the Naramata Bench wine region and have any sort of affinity to sweet fruit wines.
If you have time you should definitely do your tasting outside on their beautiful patio. Rather than…More »
13. Laughing Stock Vineyards
We first took notice of Laughing Stock when we were in a liquor store in Penticton stocking up before heading to our weekend house - the label was so awesome! (why yes, I DO buy my wine based on how much I like the label. And?)
Then we really took…More »

Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
The boyfriend and I had one night in Portland on our way home from a coastal camping road trip and knew that we didn't want to spend a lot but also didn't want to end up in some dive since our main priority was going to be a good shower and a good…More »
15. H R MacMillan Space Centre
Came here with some friends to check out the Quest for Origins show in the Star Theatre because dude! The universe is cool!
The theatre itself is pretty neat, though not as all encompassing as I would have liked. Maybe it was where I was sitting, but…More »
