Kickin' It In Kits
See All Lists
1. Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine
Where to take my most well-traveled friend who has a family-style eating preference for dinner when she comes to visit? Why, Banana Leaf of course.
South Asian dishes with a Malaysian bent, the food here is consistently and mouthwateringly delicious.…More »
2. 49th Parallel Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 420-4901
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
No longer 5-stars, 49th Parallel. Still a pretty good cuppa, but only if it's for a stop-over. In and out is about as much as I can handle. Offensively huge baby buggies maneuvering their way through the narrow space *plus* a possible change in…More »

Tasty, tasty, tasty, yes.
This is not a coffee shop I go to work in, and it's not a place I go to… Read more »
3. Gravity Pope Shoes
Gravity Pope wants my money. Fortunately for them, they usually succeed in getting it.
Short of me not going in, there's pretty much nothing that will stop me from leaving the store without at least hemming and hawing over a brand-spanking new pair…More »
4. Fresh Is Best
Fresh IS best! Spicy salsa, intense guacamole, fresh tortillas, all gluten free!
How is it that I've been buying their products for years without actually knowing that they have a store in Kits? I've walked past Fresh is Best so many times over the…More »
5. Wow Interiors
Vancouver, BC V6J 1L9
(604) 801-6744
Categories:
Antiques,
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Like most west-coasters (or people of my ilk, for that matter), I adore mid-century modern, Danish teak, and designer vintage furniture. When lurking Craigslist isn't cutting it, WoW is a great place to find such gems. With their mix of retro and…More »
6. The Noodle Box
Sweat dripping from my pores, the flush of red that fills my cheeks, the extra seven levels of spice that translates into an entirely new flavour, the satisfaction of knowing I made it through the entire dish without flinching - I adore spicy food.

7. Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company
I'm a local-organic-sustainable-glut enfree floozie. All I have to see are those three (four, but who's counting) magic words and I'm all over it. Even if I've just eaten, I can't resist the temptation of fresh ingredients coming together in one…More »
8. The Flying Tiger
Vancouver, BC V6K 1R4
(604) 737-7529
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
**Fair warning: I'm fairly certain that I'm about to offend at least a few people. No apologies**
If not for Yelp Eats I don't know that I'd even try Flying Tiger. It's in Kits (sorry Kits folks, I just don't travel here), it looks fairly generic from…More »
9. JNBY
Vancouver, BC V6K 4S2
(604) 737-0022
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
There was a time in my life when I was just tiny enough to take the miniscule minimalist clothes found at a place like JNBY and calmly wiggle my way through any given day. But that day is no longer mine, and I am no longer tiny and twenty. Sigh.

10. Plöger Delikatessen
Vancouver, BC V6J 1G6
(604) 569-1848
The very fact that there are those two adorable little dots above the 'o' in Plöger is enough to give it them four stars. BUT fortunately for everyone involved (including you), diacritics aren't all they've got going on.
Homemade granola, preserves,…More »
11. Chewies Steam and Oyster Bar
Vancouver, BC V6K 1E9
(604) 558-4448
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 »
12. The Bimini Public House
Vancouver, BC V6J 1M7
(604) 733-7116
Categories:
Gastropubs,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I don't know man, call me crazy but I kinda like it here. It's contextual though. I mean, this *is* the new Kits. This is the Kitsilano era of the baby boodle buggy and the tiny rat/dog being carried by an emasculated man and the multimillion dollar…More »
13. Village VQA Wines
Vancouver, BC V6J 5B8
(604) 732-8827
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I totally just thought this was your average everyday wine store. Nat the case, nat at all. This joint is full -- stacked full -- jacked with the best of the baddest-ass BC wine selection in Vancouver. This carefully compiled compendium of the nectar…More »
14. Kitstaya Sushi
Meh, it's sushi. Not the most offensive of sushi joints in Vancouver, but certainly not the even close to the best, Kits Sushi truly is *just* okay. I would never come here without being invited by friends, but the people who do frequent the place…More »
15. Kidsbooks
What kind of sign is it when the people who work in a store love reading even more than I do? A very, *very* good one. As a person with a soft-spot for children's literature who also happens to have a few nieces, a couple 'o nephews, and a fairy…More »
16. The Candy Aisle
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, back that noise UP. Would you look at all of this? Just look: bins upon bins of buckets upon buckets of old-school candy reminding me of all of the sugar-coated chemical goodness I wasn't allowed (but snuck anyway) as a child.…More »
