1. Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
Canada
(604) 873-7000
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Coal Harbour
Reasons why Stanley Park is awesomer than most anything else:
1. That view of snow-capped mountains
2. An ancient fishing wall used by settlers long ago is still pretty much intact.
3. It has a lake called Beaver Lake.
4. There are separate walking and…More »

Bike Rentals
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Oh man, come to this place for your bike rental needs.
There's all different types--my boyfriend I both got cruisers, though he was jonesin' for a road bike. The cruisers turned out to be perfect. After signing up and filling out a form, we decided…More »

Try the Mr. Pink. For reals.
A delightful and winning combination of Belvedere Vodka, muddled watermelon, mint syrup, and lime zest.
This drink will make you forget that every single person who is in the Granville Room is a beautiful fabulous specimen…More »
4. India Gate Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 2B9
Canada
(604) 684-4617
Good. Filling. Vegetarian. Cheap.
Those 4 things are pretty much all I want in Indian food, and India Grill supplies the first 3 quite well.
5. Cactus Club Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6E 1B2
Canada
(604) 687-3278
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: West End
The Cohiba goes down in 2.5 seconds flat. A freshly made blackberry mojito? Yes please, I'll take 8.
Na, I just had one, but I coulda easily taken down 8 in under an hour.
There are a few drinks that come out of slushy machines, like the Bellini and…More »
6. Space Lounge

Canada

Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Kooky interior with beautiful people, changing light fixtures on the walls, friendly staff, and the most amazing tofu dish I've put in my mouth in ages.
I apparently left my camera on the table after taking pictures of said tofu. When I called back 2…More »
7. H&M
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1G5
Canada
(604) 692-0308
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Downtown
It's a really bittersweet thing that Portland doesn't have an H & M. Bitter because I want a place to spend all my money on clothes, and sweet because I don't need another place to spend all my money on clothes.
This location was crowded beyond…More »
8. Royal Thai Seafood Restaurant - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6E 4H6
Canada
(604) 602-0603
The sun shines in the window while you eat lunch here, lending a mellow and happy feel to your meal. The portions are big, the woman bringing you your food is somewhat lively and talkative, and the couple next to you is conversing about their…More »

Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Staying at the Metropolitan, we stopped in here for a pre-dinner drink on our way out to dinner.
The bartender was pleasant enough in a snooty way, there were free salty peanuts, and my glass of Riesling cost $14.
Vancouver has so many nice places…More »
10. Speakeasy On Granville
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
Canada
(604) 685-5531
Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
The spring rolls had so much oil oozing out of them I felt I should put on a slicker and go looking for baby birds.
The bartender was a little surly, and not necessarily in a mean way, just in an I-really-don't-care-about-you kind of way.
The 15…More »
11. Metropolitan Hotel
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. We booked our trip through Travelocity, and we were both quite happy.
There was a little glitch at first--after we checked in (and 'broke in') our room, we realized it didn't have all the amenities we had…More »
12. Vancouver Aquarium
Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2
Canada
(604) 659-3474
Category:
Aquariums
Neighbourhood: Coal Harbour
This place is smaller than I thought it would be, but it's got a lot of heart.
It was hard to find after getting off the bus, but that's probably just my lousy sense of direction.
It won't take you very long to walk through here, but you will get a lot…More »

What a lovely night. Our server, Daniel, was freakin' awesome... very helpful, friendly, and communicative (which is one of the most important qualities a server should have, in my humble opinion. IMHuO?).
The cocktails were refreshing--try the grape…More »
14. Sophie's Cosmic Café
I really like that this place is unapologetic about their menu. No substitutions, no additions, $8 minimum per person... The whole restaurant is run in a very efficient way.
The host/manager/whatever points to people in line, "You. You. Aaaand, you.…More »
