Today, my life was irrevocably changed by a sandwich.

That's all I have to say about that because if I say any more I won't be able to help but go get another filling of bocconcini, prosciutto, hot salami, olives, artichokes hearts, roasted red…More »

I love the idea of a store that carries authentically green goods, but have to say 'meh, I've experienced better' than Dream.

I'll first point out the upside: the linens. They are made in Canada from high quality certified organic cotton and/or hemp,…More »

Had my first Continental Coffee espresso Americano today and it was pretty darn good. The service was good and coffee was tasty and hot. What more do you need from a coffee place?

Well, if you do need more, it looked to me like Continental could do…More »

I haven't given out 5 stars in a while, but DVG really deserves it.

Recently updated lists from Anthony C.

Anthony in Boston (13)

Just like the other "Anthony in (city)" lists, I spend a lot of time in Boston, and this is where I've been. You'll notice it's of the greater Boston area, not just Boston proper, with a heavy dose of Concord establishments. I lived in Concord for 15 years, and my parents still do...

The Services (11)

as in not restaurants... in Vancouver... stores either.. just services.

A Man Enjoys Tobacco (3)

Sometimes I like to enjoy a nice cigar paired with a generous pour of bourbon, scotch, or cognac, and on occasion even a cigarette. This is where I've purchased in Vancouver.

A Gastown Jaunt (22)

A tour of the local 'hood a la Antonio.

On the Finer Side (4)

Sometimes, one simply must truly dine.

On Caffeine (7)

99 times outta 100, I go for an Americano.

Up on the hill @ UBC (5)

Studying at UBC, then working at offices on campus, I've been around the block here.

Anthony in Seattle (6)

Having family in the Seattle area, I go here A LOT. These are the tales of my many experiences.

Fuddy Duddy but I Like It (4)

These places are kinda kitchy in a way I normally wouldn't go for, but are redeemed for one reason or another 'cus I like them!

Anthony in Montreal (6)

My place of birth, Montreal holds a special place in my heart. Full of great everything... people, restaurants, shopping, hotels... and most of my family - I spend time in Montreal regularly, and this is where I've been.
