IT'S OPEN!!!!!!!! 4 stars!
I walk by this place 10 times per week, and was so excited when the black curtains were finally lifted and the doors opened. It's an incredible space that feels so open, homey (very welcoming), and meticulously cute in a…More »

Grocery
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The Man and I picked up ingredients to bake a cake, when it occurred to me that my life needed a little zataar spice.
I rifled through the giant wall of spices. No luck.
Asked a clerk. Also no luck. He found a girl, asked her about ordering, she…More »

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
It was a snowy, blustery day last week, and I wandered inside after spotting some half-green, half-yellow crocks and teapots in the window, like ones that I grew up with (Dad's from Tunisia).
This place is marvelous!! It was like stumbling upon a…More »

5. Green Lettuce Indian Style Chinese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5N 2T1
(604) 876-9883
I came here with my sister. We try to eat healthy but decided to say, "Ah, F*** it!! Chinese food and Indian spices!"
The veggie pakoras are amazing. Packed with flavour, light, crunchy, chewy, chunky, delicious! Nothing like a few tiny bits and bobs…More »
6. Pizzeria Barbarella
I used to have a boyfriend whose parents lived in Abbotsford.
Every now and then, he would visit them, or vice versa, whatever; the important thing was that at the end, I would get to dig into a pizza box full of magic and wonder.
Legend had it that a…More »
Recently updated lists from Kari C.
East Van, Yo! (26)Some people are afraid to cross Main street, for fear of junkies and hobos, which is when I say, "'I've lived in East Van for 20 of my 25 years and haven't shanked you yet. Now hold my arm and let's run!" |
Werewolf Time (20)These are the places that I get some serious food cravings for. |
Red Hot Natural Mama (8)For those other chemical-phobes out there who want to feel gorgeous without product paranoia. Note that at Colourbox there aren't 100% natural shampoos etc, but my stylist knows that I prefer types that are as close as possible. :D |
Coveted FTR's (12)What? What do you mean nobody had written about how great (or terrible!!) this place is yet? |
Surefires (41)This is where I like to go because it's reliably good and I have a goal in mind, whether it's finding the perfect gift, taking someone special out for a good meal, or hunting for an ingredient or tool. Keep in mind that my standards are really high, but good food and competent service shouldn't be too much to ask for! |
Eff THIS Noise! (19)Some places deserve a second chance, but I'm definitely not coming back to these places. Mega-frown!! |
Faux Nostalgia (10)I am one of those sassy ladies who likes to pretend that we're deliciously feminine 50's pin-up girls. Here's where I like to revel in a simpler time that never was mine to begin with! |
House of Flying Daggers (11)Where I like to buy my equipment (knives, steels, tools etc) and groceries. Everything you need to pretend your home is a gourmet restaurant... |
