Blood Alley, baby! It's the stuff that dreams are made of..

Okay, so maybe not.. but down this dingy corridor is where you'll find one of Vancouver's best kept (maybe not now) secrets. Lovely, modern space that comes with the 'communal built in.'

One of my favorite little shops in Vancouver!

Super cute apparel and accessories from local, independent, and 'not so independent' designers.. I could spend a whole lot in this place. Too bad (for me) that USD isn't what it used to be.. :(

Excellent formal Chinese dining in the middle of Vancouver. The Salt n' Pepper Soft shell crab could not have been any better and the Szechwan spicy noodles (udon) with pork and vegetables in a semi spicy sweet sauce rocked my face off. The orange…More »
