Christine "comma wrangler" R.'s Profile

Star for a day

Wake up in the morning, where the hell's my coffee, gee I gotta check out Yelp ... and when I look around I see that today's ROTD is me! Wait! Now people are complimentin', my day's a little brighter and I thank you, Yelp.

5/15/2011 ROTD 2/8/2012

I do believe the Acme Cafe is everything a diner should be. Its comforting and calming and clean. Great coffee. Killer pie. Daily specials. Mac and cheese. Meatloaf. Chicken Pot Pie! And for some true nostalgia, they serve Pop Shoppe in a variety of…More »

Category: Japanese

11/6/2010 ROTD 11/19/2011

When I go to Japanese restaurants, it seems like the menus are all the same. But one way to differentiate them is by the "special rolls" selection of sushi. When I saw something called the "Crazy Boy" on Okoman's menu (and I was with my crazy boy), I…More »

This ain't no roti hut, but a kickin' two-level good-time palace. I came here for the Vancouver BikeStyle party put on by Momentum Magazine and Calabash Bistro was an awesome host. You enter into the cozy restaurant upstairs, which has a small bar,…More »

My friend and I stopped in at Moderne Burger during Bike the Blossoms. So we were both pretty hungry, and those big burgers with juicy patties served with a mountain of fresh cut fries filled us right up.

We were also impressed with the clean,…More »

Category: Wineries

5/16/2010 ROTD 5/29/2010

You probably wouldn't just stumble upon this "garage" winery, but it's a great find. It's just off Stewardson Way in New West, tucked in behind an ICBC claims centre and some autobody shops. (It's also very convenient to the BC Parkway bike trail, if…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine R.

Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13) Finds in the much-maligned big city.	Vacation in Washington State (18) I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery.
Shopping for food (21) I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too.	Adventures with Groupon (8) The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons.
Store pets (6) Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way!	Diners (14) All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon.
Can't talk, eating (3) The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now.	Two sticks and a ball (4) Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about?
Playing House (5) In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student.	Bright Lights, Royal City (50) Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile.
