I've been ordering my groceries weekly through SPUD for several years now. As a working mum with two kids the ease of being able to order my groceries online and have them show up at my house is just brilliant!! I also find that I get less of the…More »

Although I order a lot of my groceries online through SPUD I still make an almost daily trek to Choice's on my lunch break to pick up any missing ingredients for dinner. I love to be able to buy organic, local produce daily and they often have…More »

I can't deny it - I used to call this place Urban Scare. But those were the days when my one paycheque was raising two fabulous kids. Now we're older, I make more money and I've caught me a hubby worth keeping! Now I can afford gourmet cheese and…More »

1/14/2010

The first time I went here was by accident. A bunch of us were meeting up for sushi on Broadway and we got mixed up. This definitely isn't a sweet spot for sit-in dining! I have to say that if I was reviewing their sushi I'd give it 3 stars. I…More »

I love going here on a break from work in the summer. I often get the affogato which is espresso over vanilla gelato. Yum!! They use 100% organic, fair trade beans for their coffee. Otherwise I get anything chocolate. The other night I was going…More »

12/24/2009

I have to admit that I'm not a huge BC wine connoisseur. I enjoy their whites and some reds but think there's a lot of overpriced, poor quality wine so I often pay for imported. That being said, this store could be the place to turn me around. Any…More »

So here's the difference between a good private wine shop and one of the better BCLDB stores. On Monday I ordered 2 cases of wine from the Park Royal BCLDB. On Wednesday I called to make sure it was ready to pick up. I got there and was given a…More »

Recently updated lists from Luisa D.

Adventures in Portland (12) We went for the first time in 2011. We'll be going back and I guarantee the adventures will be even better!	Davie Street from West to East and back again (18) Davie St runs from the West End through the Davie Village to Granville to Yaletown. It's a diverse street with something for everyone. I've included a few places that run adjacent to Davie St.
My Kitsilano (57) This is where I live. These are the places in my neighbourhood	Let's Get Physical! (12) I eat therefore I exercise.
Top of the food chain baby! (21) You know what's better than being a vegetarian/vegan? Being at the top of the food chain! I'm a conscientious omnivore and these places do meat and seafood right!	Yelp's 30 Day Challenge (30) I came in late to the game but kept it up once I took the challenge
FTR - First to Review (35) Beat you to it! (not including Elite events and out of Vancouver FTRs)	For the Love of Fur Babies! (6) I love my pets. Here's where I go to get the stuff/care they need. I now order their food through http://spud.ca
My Yaletown (37) I work in Yaletown and these are the places I've checked out.	Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing (12) Listening to your iPod's cool and all but there's nothing like seeing your favourite bands live!
