4.0 star rating
  8/24/2010

Nestled quietly on Cornwall Street is a newish little hole in the wall. Unless you are alert or actively seeking it out you will miss it as it is a narrow little, unobtrusive space.

One of my new favourite places in Kits with absolutely zero pretence…More »

One of the best boutiques I have ever come across. Originally went in to buy a wedding gift and left with new shoes, two dresses and a purse. Carries amazing selection of clothing for both men and women as well as delightful knickknacks for gifts for…More »

4.0 star rating
  8/23/2010

This is one of my newer discoveries in the city of my birth. I hadn't even known the Cafe was there until last year and now it is my go-to place to dine downtown.

A vegetarian's (and an omnivore's) paradise; offers an abundance of options from…More »

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

4.0 star rating
  9/15/2010

I've always had a fascination with hardware stores because of the random and oft surprising things they carry. Not remotely handy in any sense of the word, one would think hardware stores would alarm me. Wrong! At least, not this one. The staff is…More »

  9/2/2010 First to Review

This man can fix anything. No matter how hard I stomp around the city, no matter how many times I try to show off how I can run really quickly in 3 inch heels, no matter how many times I kick things in fits of rage, Tony saves me. He can rebirth even…More »

5.0 star rating
  9/2/2010 ROTD 10/31/2010

Let me tell you about Village Wines. It is the best. I wish I knew the name of the manager because he is a delight, a total expert but without any snobbery. I openly confess my non knowledge of wine and he happily asks me helpful questions that lead…More »

Categories: Delis, Grocery

Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands

5.0 star rating
  9/15/2010

As a child I used to loathe coming here with my mother as she'd invariably run into 14 people she knew and have the dreaded "stop and chat". Now as a semi adult, I cherish this. Stongs is an independently owned and run grocer, a huge contributor to…More »
