It's like drinking Britain up from a teacup!

Sipping a spot of tea that tastes like every breakfast I can remember from the UK, and nibbling on a meat pie, I'm in the middle of high tea... in my living room. Darn, I wish I had splurged on biscuits…More »

Vancouver history lovers need to hit up this store at least once! Where did they find a "Canadian Guide to BBQ" cookbook and a book highlighting all of the great performers who have rocked the likes of the Commodore (1929-1970) and the Orpheum?…More »

It's what I love most about weekends.

Embarking on the aquabus, sneaking away to Granville Island, indulging in a coffee/tea and a pastry, strolling through the market, browsing through the stalls, smelling the flowers... perhaps buying a ripe…More »

Update - 4/6/2010

I hadn't been Backstage in a while, and after hanging out with some friends I commented about how it felt different. More modern, less grimy, more comfy, less dark and dated. Ah, the renovated some time ago.

I still haven't eaten here, but the beer…More »

Thinking I'd relive my previous good experience, a friend and I headed to the Pirate Pub for a drink and some dinner.

Romance.

All thanks to driver Jack's harmonica.

Imagine.

It's a clear, crisp, dark evening. You're one half of a pair of lovers. The water is calm, with a hint of salt in the air. You're the only boat gliding through the water. To your left, the glass…More »
