Tried Bistrot for the first time the other day with m'lady and was quite impressed.

After dining at La Quercia multiple times, I can safely say that (at least for now...) this is my favorite restaurant in Vancouver.

Everything about this place tickles my fancy just so. It's elegant but not too elegant, small but not too small, cozy…More »

Recently updated lists from Anthony C.

Anthony in Boston (13)

Just like the other "Anthony in (city)" lists, I spend a lot of time in Boston, and this is where I've been. You'll notice it's of the greater Boston area, not just Boston proper, with a heavy dose of Concord establishments. I lived in Concord for 15 years, and my parents still do...

The Services (11)

as in not restaurants... in Vancouver... stores either.. just services.

A Man Enjoys Tobacco (3)

Sometimes I like to enjoy a nice cigar paired with a generous pour of bourbon, scotch, or cognac, and on occasion even a cigarette. This is where I've purchased in Vancouver.

A Gastown Jaunt (22)

A tour of the local 'hood a la Antonio.

On Caffeine (7)

99 times outta 100, I go for an Americano.

Up on the hill @ UBC (5)

Studying at UBC, then working at offices on campus, I've been around the block here.

Anthony in Seattle (6)

Having family in the Seattle area, I go here A LOT. These are the tales of my many experiences.

Fuddy Duddy but I Like It (4)

These places are kinda kitchy in a way I normally wouldn't go for, but are redeemed for one reason or another 'cus I like them!

Anthony in Montreal (6)

My place of birth, Montreal holds a special place in my heart. Full of great everything... people, restaurants, shopping, hotels... and most of my family - I spend time in Montreal regularly, and this is where I've been.

It's Gotta be Commercial Drive (4)

Name speaks for itself!
