1. Apgujung
If you are looking for a little spice in your life you should definitely check out this place. I realized I had been neglecting the bold and wonderful flavours of Korean cuisine since moving to Vancouver so tonight we were to be reacquainted.
I cant…More »
2. Plenty
Vancouver, BC V6E 1B5
(604) 689-4478
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: West End
One of the better clothing stores for men in Vancouver. From Spiewak jackets to Fred Perry polo shirts and Cheap Monday jeans it is not too hard for me to find at least one piece that I would want to buy from here. I just wish they would have more…More »
3. Club Monaco
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A7
(604) 687-8618
Category:
Shopping
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
The best thing about the menswear at Club Monaco is the cut of the clothing. Everything fits so well from the tailored shirts to the classic blazers. The looks can be on the edge of preppy but everything in the store right down to the skinny plaid…More »
4. Zefferelli's
Vancouver, BC V6E 1B2
(604) 687-0655
Categories:
Specialty Food,
Italian
Neighbourhood: West End
The best thing about Zeferelli's is without a doubt the dining room. Dark wooden furniture, an impressive wall of wine and hanging fairy lights surprisingly didn't appear tacky but added to the classic relaxed classy atmosphere. Definitely try and…More »
5. El Kartel
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 683-2171
Categories:
Shoe Stores,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Cool Kicks, loud tees, fedoras and fitted caps and some sweet accessories. Best of all for perhaps the most hipster shop on Robson the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Not always my style but like many others I still love browsing the racks.…More »
6. Mondo Gelato
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C1
(604) 694-0108
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: West End
I prefer the quieter Denman street location because I don't want to wait when a gelato craving hits. As I stare at through the glass all that goes through my head is decisions, decisions, decisions. I have no favourite flavours I love all my gelato…More »
7. American Apparel - Men's
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(604) 683-4885
Category:
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
I love the idea of stores that sell plain basic well cut clothes. This is what American Apparel tries to do but it can be hit or miss. Tshirts, cardigans and hoodies are always a god bet. Shorts are generally for those who like to expose their upper…More »
Recently updated lists from Alex D.
Granville Street (12)The bright lights of Vancouver's main drag |
Downtown 1hr lunch spots (12)I am on a mission to find the top 10 lunch spots within 4 blocks of my work. Yes, it will be dangerous as I battle through bain maries filled msg laden goop, sushi with fillings that smell like the hull of a fishing boat, chain outlets with their bright lights, scripted greetings and pimply staff.I will have to fend off crowds armed only with a lunch tray and a plastc knife and mend my wounds with napkins the size of a ipod but I will succeed. Mark my words, by years end I will be able to sense a health code violation at 20 paces and make my way in and out of the most crowded food court blindfolded, balancing a tray on my big toe with the best grub these 4 blocks have to offer. |
New York (22)So much to do and so little time. |
Brunch (5)Because on Sunday I want someone to do the cooking for me |
Portland (16)Stumptown, PDX, City of Roses. What ever you want to call it Portland is a great place to visit. Pair a fantastic food culture with an abundance of microbreweries, burgeoning music scence and friendly small city attitude and you can't go too far wrong...apart from the rain that is. |
Denman Street (8)The sometimes forgotten street in the West End. Denman stretches from the bay to the harbour and is home to an abundance of places to eat. |
Gastown (6)A touch of class and a touch of grit |
Burger Urge (4)There is some kind of beauty in the simplicity of a well made burger. The soft bun, the lightly charred meat and the complimentary condiments. This simple north American staple is a hot topic on the internet, with arguments from origins to components to cooking styles debated by purists to molecular gastronomers alike. Who does make the best burger? |
Los Angeles without the traps (24)For the most part everyone I know who travels to LA ends up at Disneyland, Universal Studios and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I want to do those type of things about as much as I want to discuss the pros and cons of various feminine hygiene products with my mother. So I tried to set out to find out about another part of LA, one that I would enjoy. |
Davie Street (14)A block or so from where I live lies Davie Street, Vancouver's so called gaybourhood. it stretches from stunning English Bay to Yaletown and along it's sidewalks you can find everything from hammers to hair removal and eggs benny to erotic fiction. |
