1. Vancouver Burlesque Centre
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1K3
Categories:
Dance Studios,
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'm so happy that this centre has opened. For years I was saying that I wanted to take burlesque classes. Although the classes I've been taking are more booty camp in style I have a new respect for dancers that manage to look graceful and sexy while…More »
2. Cibo Trattoria
Vancouver, BC V6B 3L9
(604) 602-9570
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
We had such a wonderful dinner here last night! I had bought a travelzoo deal that included an appetiser, pasta dish, 2 entrees, 2 sides and a dessert for $49. What a deal and what a lot of food! Normally we wouldn't order quite that much. When we…More »
3. West Restaurant + Bar

Categories:
Restaurants,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Wow - West wins! The hubby and I were given a gift to spend $300 on ourselves for dinner. We decided to spend it at West and spend it we did! Actually we went a little over budget which isn't hard to do because everything sounds delicious on the…More »

(604) 688-3766
Categories:
Lingerie,
Adult,
Accessories
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I'm really surprised by Vanessa's review. Certainly this has never been my experience. Today I went in wearing a white cotton sundress and I've never gone in wearing anything even close to the pieces I've bought but have always been treated like a…More »
5. Cru Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 1H6
(604) 677-4111
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Wow! Who'd a thought I could get excited about croutons?! Croutons?! Well let's say that the amazing croutons were indicative of the entire meal.
When we first walked in on the stormy evening that was Vancouver last night we were immediately warmed by…More »
6. Tour Guys Vancouver
Oh my - that was fun!! I decided to celebrate my birthday a little early by organising an evening around the Beer Makes History Better tour. It was a blast!
Normally it would start at the Railway Club but due to a glitch Guilt & Co let us use their…More »

(604) 602-0527
Categories:
Pubs,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
As far as pubs go this one deserves top marks. It's cozy and cute but still a little classy. The staff are friendly and good. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. There's an interesting selection of beers on tap. I mean really, what more…More »
8. Pink Lime Salon & Spa
Vancouver, BC V6B 2T4
(604) 683-7444
Category:
Beauty and Spas
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Why is it that so many of us make time for our family and friends but not for ourselves? Today I took a much needed break for some pampering because a friend gave me a gift certificate and it was about to expire. I'd never been to Pink Lime before…More »

10. Royal Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6J 3G6
(604) 732-7457
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Kitsilano, Fairview Slopes
I'll preface this by saying that when I go out for Pho I am not looking for ambience, classy decor or good spelling on menus. I just want tasty, not greasy rare beef soup and some spring rolls. I got them both here. As for the spelling on the menu…More »
11. Afghan Horsemen Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 4E5
(604) 873-5923
Category:
Afghan
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
This is a great place to go with a group. The food is consistently delicious, they have plenty of room for large parties, their patio rocks the summer feeling and the drinks served in planter-style vessels are tasty. This last time I had the…More »
12. The Rickshaw Theatre
Vancouver, BC V6A 1A1
(604) 681-8915
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Finally made it here last night and now I definitely want to see more bands in this venue.
My ticket was $20 for three bands of blistering rock. Hells yeah! The beer was cheap - $5.50 if you're splurging, $4.50 for PBR. The bar pours look…More »
13. Golden Star Seafood Restaurant
I'd totally go back here! 4 of us spent $50 and had leftovers. The portions are big. Things like sui mai and har gow (called Crystal Dumplings or something like that) are standard sized but the sesame balls and gyoza were huge. There was only a…More »
