On a Rainy Vancouver Day
See All Lists
1. Ezogiku Noodle Cafe
With every place serving booze within walking distance to GM and BC Place packed in like sardines and my belly howling, a safe bet was ramen.
Definitely delivered on filling me up (with some perfectly chewy noodles) so I could belt out some U2 tunes…More »
2. Independent Flixx - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M1
(604) 682-3344
Category:
DVD & Video Game Rental
Neighbourhood: West End
Aisle upon aisle of endless entertainment. The wall of foreign films sorted according to country is an easy place to spend an evening, never mind the sheer joy of renting something to take home.
For a moment I fantasized about working here. Just…More »
3. GumDrops
Who remembers Splish Splash? http://www.youtube.com...
Splish splash I was taking a bath
Outside in a puddle last night
A rub-a-dub just relaxin' on 4th Ave
Thinkin' everything was all wet
Well, I stepped into Gum Drops, wiped my feet on the floor
Wrapped…More »
4. Congee Noodle House
There are so many ways to say goodbye: farewell, arrivederci, adios, ciao... but a good ol fashioned "see you never again" sufficed as I stormed out of Congee Noodle House's door for the last time.
Feeling ripped off (more than once) never leaves a…More »

Congee House Rules:
When dining solo be ready to share a table.
Carry cash.
Order by number.

5. ReFuel - CLOSED
[in a southern drawl] "We've heard (on this here site) that y'all have some mighty fine looking buttermilk fried chicken. We'll take two orders, and don't skimp on that there gravy."
3 perfectly crispy pieces soon arrived complete with a jalapeno…More »
6. CocoaNymph
Vancouver, BC V6R 2G5
(604) 222-4477
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I blame November's Elite Party http://www.yelp.ca/biz... It's where I first tried CocoaNymph and fell for the dark chocolate and salted caramel bar. Fast forward a couple of months and...
There I am, trying to push the thoughts of a crunch and tang of…More »
7. Simply French
Vancouver, BC V6R
(604) 568-6180
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Delis
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
The moment the sweet proprietor asked me if I'd like some warmed up milk in my Americano, I knew a little piece of my heart belonged to this place.
Ambiance rich with round little tables, chandeliers, folky French music, hardwood floors and an…More »
8. River Rock Casino Resort
The curved escalator was just about as good as this casino gets! No, I'm being too harsh. When a good name is in town, the theatre is a good venue, not amazing, but solid. And now you can bring drinks in so no more chugging them down outside!
What…More »
9. Granville Island Tea Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 683-7491
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
A lesson in ordering tea is much like a lesson in cocktails - let the tea mixologist make a decision for you.
Without an idea of what I was craving, outside of caffeine, the barista/tea sommelier, whipped up a chai tea that was like no other. Black…More »
10. Wired Monk
Right in the moment when day turns to night, Wired Monk serves as a space that lets you gear up or wind down, or lets a work-a-holic catch up online.
Perfect for those times when you want tea, beer, live music and wi-fi all at your fingertips.
PS.…More »

Acoustic sets sound great in this small space. I've never seen it in the light of day, but by night… Read more »

Cinema

Oh give me a seat, where the films are so sweet
And the popcorn is G-M-O free
Where no cell phones are heard
Many well-written words
And inde flicks are preferred.
Fifth, Fifth Avenue
Where friends and lovers can meet
Where no cell phones are heard
